A homogeneous reactor is the one, in which the___________________?
Correct answer: C. The fuel and the moderator is mixed to form a homogeneous material
- A. Fissile atoms are evenly distributed throughout the mass of nuclear reactor
- B. Same substance (e.g. heavy water) is used as moderator & coolant
- C. The fuel and the moderator is mixed to form a homogeneous material
- D. All A., B. and C.
Explanation
A homogeneous reactor has fuel and moderator mixed uniformly to form one homogeneous material. Using the same substance as coolant and moderator is not the defining requirement, so option B is too restrictive.
