The electrical output of the plant is accurately and continuously measured by normal electrical equipment. To get the nuclear reactor thermal output, it is basically necessary to know the coolant flow rate and the temperature rise. In a BWR you would also need to know the steam content of the reactor outlet. These calculations would not be done frequently but would be done at intervals to check the plant efficiency. An approximate indication of reactor power can be obtained from neutron flux measurement directly, but this is used to help the operators rather than for an accurate power measurement, because there are variations in instrument sensitivity as well as in the flux distribution in the core.

How much energy does the suns nuclear reactions produce?
Sun releases energy at the mass-energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second. That is 384.6 yotta watts.You will need to multiply that up to get the yearly output.

How long does it take to have a safe nuclear fuel rod?
The amount of energy obtained from nuclear fuel is expressed as so many megawattdays per tonne, in a liquid water reactor (LWR) it is now around 60,000 MWd/tonne. So if a reactor power output is say 3000 MW (thermal), in one day it will use up 1/20 tonne of fuel, and in a year it will use 18.25 tonne. With reactors that can be refuelled during operation, or during short shutdown periods, the individual fuel assemblies can be changed as required giving flexibility, this applies to the advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR's) built in the UK. With LWR's where the top of the pressure vessel has to be removed for fuelling, this is only possible during long outages (though they have become much shorter with practice), and so a large proportion of the fuel is changed each time. When a reactor has settled into a routine of regular fuelling outages, this would probably be at about two yearly intervals, and about 1/3 of the fuel changed each time, so any particular assembly could stay in the reactor for about six years on average.

How long does it take to become a nuclear medical technician?
It can take anywhere from 1 to 4 years to complete a training program to become a nuclear medical technician. The median yearly salary is just over $70,000.
How do you calculate average yearly balance?
It is calculated by averaging the balance after each day. This is then averaged with the closing balance after each month.
