Reaktoriteid

Reaktoriteid, also known as reactorite, is a term used to describe the materials that are used or produced in nuclear reactors. These materials can be categorized into two main groups: fuel and structural materials. Nuclear fuel, typically composed of uranium or plutonium, undergoes fission reactions to produce heat and energy. Structural materials, such as stainless steel and certain alloys, are used to build the reactor's core and other components, providing the necessary containment and support. Additionally, reaktoriteid can refer to the waste materials generated during the nuclear fuel cycle, including spent fuel and radioactive by-products. The management and disposal of these materials are critical aspects of nuclear energy, involving complex processes to ensure safety and environmental protection. The study of reaktoriteid encompasses various scientific disciplines, including nuclear physics, materials science, and environmental engineering, aiming to optimize reactor performance, enhance safety, and minimize environmental impact.
