Once he collected the sample, which of course came from Korse Lenken, he would contract to give them the location of the reactor for a very high price indeed.
The Atomic Energy Commission said quite a while ago that they used a nuclear reactor with uranium as a fuel to make plutonium, which is the artificial element that can be used in atomic bombs.
Even without a nuclearreactor or any potential atom bombs," Rick added.
Relief swept over him as he looked back at the reactor itself.
Two more connected the reactor labs themselves, putting the labs and the living quarters at the corners of an equilateral triangle.
Well, whatever it is, it isn't hydrogen in the reactor room.
It was the most logical, easiest, and simplest way for a D-H reactor to go off the deep end.
A Ditmars-Horst reactor took advantage of the fact that any number can be expressed as the sum of powers of two--and the number of nucleons in an atomic nucleus was no exception to that mathematical rule.
But that wouldn't cause an atomic reactor to blow.
Peter had never been able to figure out why A and B corridors led to Reactor Two, while C and D led to Reactor One.
They found Peter de Hooch sound asleep in the control chair, and the instruments showed that the Ditmars-Horst reactor was inactive.
The trouble with the Ditmars-Horst reactor was that it lacked any automatic negative-feedback system.
He went over to the periscope that surveyed the part of the reactor beyond the firewall.
There were five other men in the reactor station, and--so far--he had seen no one.
All he had to do was go climb into the reactor, and let the reactor do the job.
But the bleeder vent at the other end of the reactor had apparently kicked at the same time.
The head had vanished back into the control room of Reactor Two.
De Hooch and Willows walked back to the control room of Number Two Reactorin silence.
Going down C meant that he'd have to get to Reactor Two the long way around.
You will receive all information and regulations governing the minimum and maximum size of the ships entered, types of reactor units, and amount of ballast to be carried.
I have my new reactor unit working properly now, and I believe that I still have a chance.
Now, all I've got is a reactor that hasn't been tested properly, that I'm not even sure will work on a long haul and a hot race.
He knew Astro would be on the power deck, preferring to nurse the reactor than watch the blast-off.
Tell him I said he can't use his reactor unit unless he changes it to more standard operational design.
As it stands now, his reactorwill not be approved for the trials," he continued.
You said the time on that reactor blast should be set at--" "Is that so?
Has Barnard got that new reactor of his working yet?
Well, anyway, I gave the new reactor my blessing last night," said Astro as they walked away from the ramp.
He's watching that reactor as if it were a treasure chest.
The reactor is in the large building in the center.
Modern reactor control rods are held in place with claw-like devices, held closed by current.
The story goes that in the earliest nuclear power experiments the engineers recognized the possibility that the reactor wouldn't behave exactly as predicted by their mathematical models.
A reasonable amount of preventive maintenance is done, mostly during the one week of four that the reactor is shut down.
The neutron spectrometers are located on the floor surrounding the High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR); the x-ray spectrometer was placed in the same building in order to facilitate linking it to the computer.
We've got to clean out the boilers once a year to make sure the tubes in the reactor don't clog up.
Cade threw the switch back the other way, and the relay in the reactor building opened.
He squinted through his dark visor at the reactor building, a gray concrete structure a quarter of a mile distant.
Lehman and Cowalczk, who were already suited up started across to thereactor building.
Obviously, the reactorwas the only part not vaporized in the fall--because of its construction.
About these, she milked Grant's available knowledge until he felt like reaching down and throwing open the reactor valve and fuel switch.
The internal reason is that the reactor is extremely sensitive to slight changes in instruction, in the rules laid down for the experiment.
The four reactor cores in their lead cases went aboard last and were packed inside a pile of lead-block shielding.
The coils of fuel wire were ready to load, and the power slugs for the ship's reactor were already stored in the power plant building here at Olympus.
He took longer than usual, making sure the lead baffling around the reactor units and the reaction chamber was secure, before firing the initial mass.
This picture, which is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution, was exposed to neutrons in a nuclear reactor and then placed in contact with modern photographic film.
In the most common type of activation analysis, the neutron bombardment of a sample is performed in a nuclear reactor where the neutrons that strike the target atoms have been slowed down so that they have very little energy of motion.
The tubes are then sealed and taken to a reactor to be irradiated for 12 hours.
Often samples are placed in plastic tubes and are carried in and out of a reactor by air pressure in a pneumatic tube system.
This is the number of hours from the time the sample was removed from the reactor to the time it was counted, or 5 hours.
The water serves as a shield to protect workers from the radiation and also helps the reactor “go” by slowing down neutrons to make them more likely to interact with the target atoms.
Put the sample and comparator together into a reactor and bombard them with neutrons.
This will be true no matter where in the reactor or for how long the irradiation took place.
In nine minutes and twenty seconds, the reactor units go off automatically at one-second intervals.
They were unloading the first reactor unit, with Astro and Shinny digging the hole.
He watched Roger and Alfie bring the last of the reactor units from Major Connel's jet boat.
Even with space suits as protection, the five Earthmen were forced to work in relays in the digging of the hole for the reactor unit.
As soon as we get the reactor units set, we're going to send this hunk of copper back to Earth and then take you back.
The crew on the satellite had completed the installation of the first reactor unit.
What Connel meant was that they were finished with the placement of the reactor units, but he knew immediately that his words had been taken to mean something each felt but had not dared to put into words.
Three white-coated men with the aloof look of reactor specialists stared at them as they bulled into the spotless chamber.
There was a sanitation reactor every hundred yards or so, but he mistrusted the look of the ground-level mains that led to it from, the houses.
Charles gulped his gin and turned shakily to his deliverer, a little reactor specialist he had seen on the sub once or twice.
The man went white and led them down the corridor and into the reactor room.
Cobalt-59 can be neutron-irradiated in a reactor to yield cobalt-60 with such a high specific activity that a small cylinder of it is more radioactive than the entire world’s supply of radium.
This treatment is accomplished by placing the head of the patient in a beam of slow neutrons emerging from a nuclear reactor a few minutes after the boron-10 compound has been injected into a vein.
Likewise the grid circuit reactor is used to keep the voltage of the grid at a constant value.
The reactorfor the plate and grid circuit of a wireless telephone transmitter where one or more tubes are used as modulators as shown in the wiring diagram in Fig.
For this reason both a filter reactor and filter condensers are used to smooth out the pulsating direct currents.
A reactor is a single coil of wire wound on an iron core, see Fig.
A condenser of large capacitance used in combination with a filterreactor for smoothing out the pulsating direct currents as they come from the rectifier.
He had sewed up three of his points when we heard somebody moving around down on thereactor floor.
Mattup was a guard at the reactor installation at Bayless, Kentucky, where my friend Danny Hern and I were part of the staff when the Outsiders took everything over.
I'd been keeping the stuff in the reactor beam tubes.
A reactor accident conceivably could add a unique hazard since neutron radiation might change the normally stable, nonradioactive atoms in the bodies of nearby workers into radioactive ones.
Illustration: Figure 13 A portable whole body counter used for research as well as routine monitoring of personnel in an atomic reactor installation.
Illustration: Figure 15 Graphic evidence that a radioactive gas accidentally inhaled by a worker at an experimental reactor contained 3 radioactive isotopes of iodine.
This counter is in almost constant use at the AEC’s National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho.
Every person or scrap of material entering the reactor area was searched; the life-history of every man and woman employed there was known back to the cradle.
Melroy left the reactor area and returned to the office in the converted area.
They claim you're going to bring in strike-breakers; they're talking about picketing the whole reactor area.
So I have to use them outside the reactor area, on fabrication and assembly work.
Oh, poking around inside the reactor with telemetered scanners and remote-control equipment.
An hour later, Ben Puryear called from the reactor area, his voice strained with anger.
They hadn't got security-cleared to enter the reactor area when this happened.
Somehow, one of them had to get very near the reactor room, in order to activate the Displacer.
The Displacer would tell him which window to enter--which window was so near the reactor that he could do his job before the Men even knew he was about.
Getting near the reactor might not be so difficult after all.
The Displacer in his body pouch pulsed and tugged, urging him to be on his way toward the distant reactor room.
I'll disguise myself as a Man, walk through the gate to the reactor room, and activate my Displacer.
They put The Thing onto contragravity again, and brought her down in place; the work of lifting off the reactor and the converter and the rest of it, piece by piece, began.
Because of the close quarters at which they worked inside the reactor and the converter, they weren't fitted with anticollision repulsors, and, working under close human supervision, they all had audiovisual pickups.
Neither the converter nor the reactor had sustained any damage while the fissionables were burning out.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "reactor" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: breeder; component; device; furnace; generator; lattice; parts; pile; reactor; relay; rod
