  1. chain reactor

    A chain reactor, also known as a nuclear reactor, is a system or device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction that generates thermal energy. This energy is typically used to produce electricity in nuclear power stations, but it can also be used to power ships or produce medical isotopes. A chain reactor operates on the principle of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of a particle is split into smaller parts, causing the release of energy.
