Question

Nuclear power reactors that supply energy have to operate at low temperature and consequently with a lower efficiency because:

• A. the walls of the nuclear containers cannot withstand higher temperatures
• B. it is difficult to heat uranium
• C. the nuclear heat is carried by ordinary steam
• D. the high pressure inside the reactor reduces the temperature

Answer 1

The correct option is A the walls of the nuclear containers cannot withstand higher temperatures

Nuclear reactors need to be operated at a low temperature because the walls cannot withstand high temperature. In past, many accidents occurred because of this but now the conditions have been revived for a nuclear power plant.
