The first nuclear reactor, a device designed to permit controlled fission chain reactions, was constructed at the University of Chicago under Fermi's direction, and the first self-sustaining chain reaction was achieved in this reactor in 1942.
Nuclear fuel rods in this reactor may have been dangerously exposed, and Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), which owns the plant, is trying to cool these by pumping in sea water.One positive development, though, is how the government, the defence forces and the famously stoic Japanese people have responded to the disaster.
In this reactor, methanogenic microbial consortia are present as granules (Diaz et al. 2006).
The degradation reaction of methylene blue was carried out in this reactor.
In this reactor pulsed initiation polymerizations of n-butyl acrylate were performed.
In this reactor monolithic structures are used as stirrer blades, creating a catalytic stirrer.
However, a zero order main reaction in this reactor presents a singular behavior not observed previously.
In this reactor, the catalytic particles are dispersed and recirculated in the solution.
The production of phenol by direct hydroxylation of benzene was achieved in this reactor.
Blue light emitting diode strips were used as light sources in this reactor for photocatalyst activation.
In this reactor one of the reaction products, i.e. sulphur, is removed continuously by flowing solids.
