Difference between Nuclear reactor and Turbine

Nuclear reactor vs. Turbine

A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction. A turbine (from the Latin turbo, a vortex, related to the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, meaning "turbulence") is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.

Similarities between Nuclear reactor and Turbine

Nuclear reactor and Turbine have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternator, Electric generator, Kinetic energy, Mercury (element), Nuclear fuel, Propeller, Steam turbine, World War II.

Alternator

World War II

World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although conflicts reflecting the ideological clash between what would become the Allied and Axis blocs began earlier.
