Difference between Actinide and Nuclear power plant

Actinide vs. Nuclear power plant

The actinide or actinoid (IUPAC nomenclature) series encompasses the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium through lawrencium. A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor.

Similarities between Actinide and Nuclear power plant

Actinide and Nuclear power plant have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Boron, Breeder reactor, Generation II reactor, Monazite, MOX fuel, Neutron moderator, Nuclear fuel, Nuclear power, Nuclear reactor, Nuclear weapon, Radioactive decay, Thermal-neutron reactor, Thorium, Thorium fuel cycle.

Boron

MOX fuel

Mixed oxide fuel, commonly referred to as MOX fuel, is nuclear fuel that contains more than one oxide of fissile material, usually consisting of plutonium blended with natural uranium, reprocessed uranium, or depleted uranium.

Neutron moderator

In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, thereby turning them into thermal neutrons capable of sustaining a nuclear chain reaction involving uranium-235 or a similar fissile nuclide.

Nuclear fuel

Nuclear fuel is a substance that is used in nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines.

Nuclear power

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear reactor

A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.

Nuclear weapon

A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb).

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.
