	nuclear reactor. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A nuclear reactor is sometimes called an atomic pile because a reactor using graphite as a moderator consists of a pile of graphite blocks with rods of uranium fuel inserted into it.
		Reactors in which the uranium rods are immersed in a bath of heavy water are often referred to as “swimming-pool” reactors.
		In a fusion reactor, the principal problem is the containment of the plasma fuel, which must be at a temperature of millions of degrees in order to initiate the reaction.

	Nuclear reactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate (as opposed to a nuclear explosion, where the chain reaction occurs in a split second).
		Some reactors, whether experimental or military, are designed with no concern for making use of the generated heat, as their goal is to make use of the neutron radiation to transmute elements.
		The fraction of the reactor's fuel core replaced during refueling is typically one-fourth for a boiling-water reactor and one-third for a pressurized-water reactor.

	Reactor Watches
		Reactor design engineers are committed to using only the finest materials in their watch designs, and a sapphire crystal is generally considered superior to a mineral crystal.

		Reactor designs their watches to fit the lifestyle of the surfer/diver/waterman, but they are more than suitable as a stylish everyday watch as well.

	THE PEBBLE BED MODULAR REACTOR (PBMR) - NIRS
		Unlike light water reactors that use water and steam, the PBMR design would use pressurized helium heated in the reactor core to drive a series of turbine compressors that attach to an electrical generator.
		The slow circulation of fuel through the reactor provides for a small core size that minimizes excess core reactivity and lowers power density, all of which is credited to safety.
		Following the April 26, 1986 Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident and graphite fire in Ukraine, the West German government revealed that on May 4, the 300-megawatt PBMR at Hamm released radiation after one of its spherical fuel pebbles became lodged in the pipe feeding the fuel to the reactor.

		Monitor the tank alkalinity level to ensure that the reactor is supplying enough calcium carbonate to replace that being used by the animals in the tank.
		After the reactor is set up, check the tank alkalinity levels periodically for a few weeks to take into account the calcium carbonate requirements of any new additions and coral growth in tank.

	Reactor
		Reactor is a virtual reaction processing tool which transforms starting compounds to products according to a given chemical reaction definition.
		By default, Reactor processes all reaction centers: that is, finds all functional groups matching the corresponding reaction reactant and produces all possible single products (react multisite products again as reactants to gain multi-substituted products).
		Reactor also supports the Daylight mapping style where all matching atoms should be mapped instead of mapping changing atoms.

		With this in mind we have been pursuing two paths of development: an evolutionary design called the European Pressurized Water Reactor (EPR) rated for 1500 to 1800 MW, and a boiling water reactor design called the SWR 1000 rated for 1000 MW and incorporating highly innovative safety systems.
		Both of these reactor types are fully competitive with modern fossil-fired power plants and will further enhance the safety standard of nuclear power plants designed by us, which is already the highest in the world.
