Primary purpose of a ____________ nuclear reactor is to supply a high neutron flux of the order of 1013 to 1014neutrons/cm2 second?
Correct answer: A. Research
- A. Research
- B. Power
- C. Breeder
- D. Homogeneous
Explanation
Research reactors are designed to produce intense neutron beams for isotope production, neutron experiments, and materials testing. Power reactors instead emphasise sustained heat generation for electricity.
