Difference between CANDU reactor and Void coefficient

CANDU reactor vs. Void coefficient

The CANDU, for Canada Deuterium Uranium, is a Canadian pressurized heavy-water reactor design used to generate electric power. In nuclear engineering, the void coefficient (more properly called “void coefficient of reactivity”) is a number that can be used to estimate how much the reactivity of a nuclear reactor changes as voids (typically steam bubbles) form in the reactor moderator or coolant.

Similarities between CANDU reactor and Void coefficient

CANDU reactor and Void coefficient have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): CANDU reactor, Chain reaction, Heavy water, Neutron, Neutron moderator, Neutron temperature, Nuclear fission, Nuclear reactor, Uranium, Weapons-grade nuclear material.

Chain reaction

A chain reaction is a sequence of reactions where a reactive product or by-product causes additional reactions to take place.

Heavy water

Heavy water (deuterium oxide) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.

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.

Neutron temperature

The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts.

Nuclear fission

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).
