Lew Kowarski

Lew Kowarski (10 February 1907 – 30 July 1979) was a Russian-French physicist.

See Zoé (reactor) and Lew Kowarski

Neutron moderator

In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, ideally without capturing any, leaving them as thermal neutrons with only minimal (thermal) kinetic energy.

See Zoé (reactor) and Neutron moderator

Norsk Hydro

Norsk Hydro ASA (often referred to as just Hydro) is a Norwegian aluminium and renewable energy company, headquartered in Oslo.

See Zoé (reactor) and Norsk Hydro

Nuclear fuel

Nuclear fuel is material used in nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines.

See Zoé (reactor) and Nuclear fuel

Nuclear reactor

A nuclear reactor is a device used to initiate and control a fission nuclear chain reaction or nuclear fusion reactions.

See Zoé (reactor) and Nuclear reactor

Nuclear reprocessing

Nuclear reprocessing is the chemical separation of fission products and actinides from spent nuclear fuel.

See Zoé (reactor) and Nuclear reprocessing

Office of Scientific Intelligence

Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) also known as Scientific Intelligence Division was a department of the Central Intelligence Agency.

Plutonium

Plutonium is a chemical element; it has symbol Pu and atomic number 94.

See Zoé (reactor) and Plutonium

Pressurized heavy-water reactor

A pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR) is a nuclear reactor that uses heavy water (deuterium oxide D2O) as its coolant and neutron moderator.

See Zoé (reactor) and Pressurized heavy-water reactor

Saclay

Saclay is a commune in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, France.

See Zoé (reactor) and Saclay

ZEEP

The ZEEP (Zero Energy Experimental Pile) reactor was a nuclear reactor built at the Chalk River Laboratories near Chalk River, Ontario, Canada (which superseded the Montreal Laboratory for nuclear research in Canada).
