What is the primary function of a nuclear reactor control system?

To maintain a constant reactor power level
To prevent reactor accidents
To monitor reactor parameters
To control the flow of coolant through the reactor

What type of sensor is used to measure the neutron flux in a nuclear reactor?

Ionization chamber
Proportional counter
Geiger-Mueller counter
Scintillation counter

What is the purpose of a control rod in a nuclear reactor?

To absorb neutrons
To reflect neutrons
To moderate neutrons
To cool the reactor core

What is the difference between a nuclear reactor scram and a nuclear reactor shutdown?

A scram is a rapid shutdown, while a shutdown is a gradual shutdown
A scram is a manual shutdown, while a shutdown is an automatic shutdown
A scram is a local shutdown, while a shutdown is a global shutdown
A scram is a partial shutdown, while a shutdown is a complete shutdown

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor containment building?

To prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment
To protect the reactor core from damage
To provide shielding for workers from radiation
To control the flow of coolant through the reactor

What is the most common type of nuclear reactor in the United States?

Pressurized water reactor
Boiling water reactor
Gas-cooled reactor
Liquid metal fast breeder reactor

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor moderator?

To slow down neutrons
To speed up neutrons
To absorb neutrons
To reflect neutrons

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor coolant?

To remove heat from the reactor core
To provide shielding for workers from radiation
To control the flow of neutrons through the reactor core
To prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment

What is the difference between a nuclear reactor fuel assembly and a nuclear reactor control rod?

Fuel assemblies contain uranium fuel, while control rods contain neutron-absorbing material
Fuel assemblies are located in the center of the reactor core, while control rods are located around the periphery of the reactor core
Fuel assemblies are used to generate heat, while control rods are used to control the reactor power level
All of the above

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor pressure vessel?

To contain the reactor coolant
To provide shielding for workers from radiation

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor condenser?

To condense the steam produced by the reactor turbine
To provide shielding for workers from radiation
To control the flow of neutrons through the reactor core
To prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor feedwater pump?

To pump water from the condenser back into the reactor
To provide shielding for workers from radiation
To control the flow of neutrons through the reactor core
To prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment

What is the purpose of a nuclear reactor control room?

To house the controls and instrumentation for the reactor
