Reactor Manuals
During the course of my research into Nuclear ReactorNuclear ReactorIn it's most simplest form, a nuclear reactor uses Uranium and other radioactive materials and the fission from uranium to create heat, and transfer that heat into steam to create power. Nuclear reactors are one of the biggest sources of energy, although not renewable, uranium has a very high energy density resulting in massive power transmissions. There are many different types of nuclear reactors, and this term serves as a broad hub/introduction for each type. After uranium is used in reactos, I am using NRCNRCThe NRC has a important role in that it regulates the operation and regulation of Nuclear Reactors in the USA. This regulation is done by many means, one of which is reporting of all reactor activities daily. The regulation is scrutinized due to the risk of radiation contamination and the possibility of attacks or the usage of enriched uranium for weapons. The NRC also manages (In conjunction with OSHA and DOL) the radiation standards and regulations of workers. The NRC does not only work with provided documents often to check my information and learn more about the inner workings of reactors. Fortunately, the NRC publicly posts these manuals at the following link: https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/techspecs/current-approved-sts.html
