The heat from burning these fuel is then used to boil water to generate steam. ... As you can see it can be deduced that the two equations for our reactor will be as follows: Thermal neutron + U235 Ba141 + Kr92 +3 Fast neutrons + Energy in the form of heat or Thermal neutron + U235 Xe140 + Sr94+2 Fast neutrons + Energy in the form of heat.... Next the Uranium Oxide( UO2) is arranged in to pellets that is then caddied with Zirconium in order to retain it shape during extreme heat. ... We will begin by reviewing equations for the reactor which was as follows: Thermal neutron + U235 Ba141 + Kr9...
