Ex. 3. Learn the dialogues.
1. – What are the two basic classes of nuclear reactors?
– They are thermal reactors and fast neutron reactors.
– What is the difference between them?
– The thermal reactors employ slow neutrons and uranium U-235 as the fuel. They also use a moderator to slow down fast neutrons.
– And what about the fast breeders?
– The breeder reactor is a reactor that can produce more fuel than it consumes. It converts U-238 into Pu-239 and employs fast neutrons.
2. – What types of thermal reactors do you know?
–The thermal reactors can be subdivided into boiling-water reactors, pressurised-water reactors, CANDU, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and the water-cooled graphite- moderated channel type reactors.
– What reactor types are predominant in our country?
– They are water-cooled graphite-moderated channel type reactors and water-cooled water-moderated reactors of the PWR type.
Ex. 4. Answer the following questions.
What are the principal categories of nuclear reactors?
What thermal reactor types do you know?
What is the principal difference between the thermal and fast neutron reactors?
What are the advantages of the fast breeder reactors?
What is the general trend in the future development of nuclear power?
Ex. 5. Speak about the reactor types.
