Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 4

A nucleus 92A235 A emits alpha and beta particles and is converted, to thenucleus 82By . The total number of alpha and beta particles emitted in thereaction is 11. Their respective numbers are: 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 5

S.l. unit for radioactivity is 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 6

Shielding in a nuclear reactor is generally done to protect against 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 7

Which one of the following statements is correct? The nuclear radiators produced in a reactor, which must be shielded, are: 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 8

Which one of the following pairs of materials is used as moderators in nuclear reactors   

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 8

Moderator in nuclear reactor is Beryllium and heavy water.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 9

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer (these pertain to nuclear reactors).

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 10

Match List I (Material) With List II (Application) and select the correct answer.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 11

Which one of the following is correct ? A nuclear reactor is said to be critical when the neutron population in the reactor core is 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 12

Assertion (A): Pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants use superheated steam.

Reason (R): An increase in the superheat at constant pressure increases the cycle efficiency. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 12

Pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants doesn’t use
superheated steam.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 13

Assertion (A): The thermal efficiency of a nuclear power plant using a boiling water reactor is higher than of a plant using a pressurized water reactor.

Reason (R): In a boiling water reactor, steam is directly allowed to be generated inthe reactor itself, whereas in a pressurized water reactor, steam is generated in aseparate boiler by heat exchanger device using water of the primary circuit which absorbs the fission energy. 

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 13

Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A. Because low pressure and temperature in secondary loop results in poor thermodynamic efficiency in PWR.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 14

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 14

Since fast reactor is related with breeding, magnetic pump is needed for sodium cooled reactor, mainly natural uranium (with some enriched uranium) is used in pressurized water reactor, and graphite is moderator for gas cooled reactor.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 15

Assertion (A): A breeder reactor does not require moderator.

Reason (R): The parasite absorption of neutrons is low. 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 16

Enriched uranium is required as fuel in a nuclear reactor, if light water isused as moderator and coolant, because light water has 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 17

Which one of the following statements is correct ?

The mass defect is 

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 18

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 18

U-233 is not a fertile material.

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 19

Uranium 238 is represented as 92U238 . What does it imply? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 19

Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 20

The energy released during the fission of one atom of Uranium-235 inmillion electron volts is about 

Detailed Solution for Test: Nuclear Power Plant - 1 - Question 20

Energy released during fission of U-235 is 200 million electron volt
