supplying intense fields or beams of neutron for scientific experiments.
marine ship propulsion.
none of these.
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Tarapur atomic power station
has two boiling water reactors of American design.
has an installed capacity of 400 MW.
is the first power reactor in India, which became critical in 1969.
all (a), (b) and (c).
✅ The correct answer is option D.
H2 is a better coolant than CO2, due to its relatively
lower density.
higher specific heat.
non-reactivity to uranium.
lower neutron capture cross-section.
✅ The correct answer is option B.
The electric power generation cost in nuclear power plant is less than that in a coal based thermal power plant, mainly because the
fuel cost per unit power generated is less.
thermal efficiency of the former is higher.
maintenance cost of the former is less.
none of these.
