Identify the main type (s) of nuclear reactors:
Correct answer: D. Both A and B
- A. Slow reactors
- B. Fast reactors
- C. Thermal reactors
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
Nuclear reactors are either slow reactors or fast reactors. The correct answer is therefore D. Although thermal reactor is a nuclear reactor but they asked us the MAIN types of nuclear reactors. It is itself a type of slow nuclear reactor.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
