Reactor definition

Reactor means a vat or vessel, which may be jacketed to permit temperature control, designed to contain chemical reactions.
Reactor means any apparatus, other than a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device, in which a self-sustaining fission chain reaction is maintained by utilizing uranium, plutonium or thorium or any combination thereof;
Reactor means a device or vessel in which reactor processes occur, including the product separator, any associated vacuum pump or steam jet, and any associated recovery system.

More Definitions of Reactor

Reactor means the process in which the polymerization takes place.
Reactor means any swine that discloses complete agglutination reaction to the blood titer dilution of 1:100 or higher, is positive to the card test and positive to the rivanol test. If a veterinary epidemiologist determines that the herd history so indicates the animal may be classified as a suspect and quarantined until subjected to additional test(s) to determine the status of the animal(s). Swine from known infected herds having complete agglutination titer in the 1:25 dilution, or higher, or positive to the card test or found infected by other means shall be classified as reactors.
Reactor means a vat, vessel, or other device in which chemical reactions take place.
Reactor means a vat, vessel, or other device in which chemical reactions take place. (Source: Added at 17 Ill. Reg. 16504, effective September 27, 1993)
Reactor means any apparatus, other than a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device, in which a self-sustaining fission chain reaction is maintained by utilizing uranium, plutonium, or thorium or any combination thereof.
Reactor means any or, as the context requires or admits, a particular nuclear reactor (as defined in the NIA 1965) at the Site (being Reactor One or Reactor Two or either of them) and “Reactors” shall be construed accordingly;
Reactor means any device in which a controlled, self-sustaining fission chain-reaction can be maintained.
