To-Do Research List

  • Breeder Reactor
  • many unfinished pages at radiation meters
  • how do cable cars get their electricity?
  • actually do uranium
  • Fukushima and Chernobyl
  • Control rods
  • RBMK reactor - expand
  • clear out empty page tags
  • finish up WIP tags
  • Expand Fuel RodsFuel RodsThis is a breakdown of how Fuel Rods work, for information on nuclear fuel itself, you want Nuclear Fuel. Fuel rods are made out of the fissile material that is wanted for the reactor, then experience different things. Uranium Dioxide fuel is pelleted and filled into metallic tubes, which have cladding of Zirconium or stainless steel, and then these tubes are sealed. In a PWR reactor, fuel is cylindrical rods into bundles, where fuel is bundled and the cladding gap filled with helium to help w with info about CANDU, etc
  • Actually write a page about CANDU reactors
  • Finish ADHD
  • CPR
