For one of my assignments at linn tech, i have to write a paper on a kind of nuclear reactor
So i have some questions about PWRs
things that need to be adressed are:
advantages/disadvantages
efficiency(input/output)
disc of operation
what are some rad protection concerns on a pwr
how changes in reactivity are made
and chemistry(main and secondary loop)
you may not have answers to all these questions but any and all help is appreciate
-
Yet you couldn't be bothered to CAPTITALIZE!!

Most of your questions are easily answered with a Google search.
You should try doing your own research first.

nrc web site in general...
...on the Nukeworker forum NucEngforHire gave me the following extremely valuable NRC Reactor Concepts Manual from the NRC website...this is the perfect resource for your assignment...

sure, which is why i posted here to get some replies while i do my own searches

No, so you could get others to do your work for you. Try doing your research first, then ask questions. It's the standard we're expected to adhere to in this industry. I'm a Shift Manager at both BWRs and PWRs but I think you're lazy and was offended you couldn't be bothered to capitalize correctly so ...

...hope the NRC Reactor Concepts Manual was adequate for the list of topics your post covered...
...by the way, the other responders to your post are the best in the world at what they do...wouldn't want to dress badly if you were invited to meet the president, would you?
...study hard, life is short...

May I suggest you do some sort of survey/poll here on nukeworker? I myself conducted a survery/poll on here a few years back for a major term paper and it worked out well.

Or hit spell check! Capitalize.
