:  A fast breeder reactor (FBR) breeds more fuel than it consumes that is it produces more plutonium than it consumes while generating power. For a uranium scarce country like India, it is an attractive technology. Plutonium produced in the thermal reactors as spent fuel is ideally suitable as the fuel material for use in … Read more DMPQ: What are the benefits of fast breeder reactor?

Cross-breeding: In this method, superior males of … Read more DMPQ-Explain the following terms: a) Inbreeding b) Out crossing c) Cross Breeding d) Interspecific Hybridisation

Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems contact the treated secondary wastewater with UV light bulbs that are encased in clear housings. The UV light kills pathogenic organisms by using a germicidal photochemical wavelength. Unlike chlorination, UV leaves no residual in the wastewater with which to be concerned. Plants that use UV must either have dual UV systems … Read more DMPQ- Explain Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems
