(a) Discuss the principal operational features of a modern (Generation-II) power-producing nuclear reactor either of the pressurised water (PWR) or gas-cooled(AGR) type, with particular emphasis en the fuel type and fuel enrichment, thechain reaction, the neutron cycle, the choice and function of the moderatingmaterial, the origin and role of delayed neutrons, the nature and function of thecontrol rods, and the nature and impact o: reactor poisoning.(b) Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGRS) operate at higher temperature thanMagnox reactors. Why does this require (i) different cladding; (ii) different formof fuel; (iii) different enrichment of fuel, than a Magnox reactor?(c) A fission reactor produces 3 x 10°W of electrical power. Assuming that the steamgenerator has an efficiency of 30%, cal:ulate the mass of 23U consumed by thereactor in one day. You may assume that the fission of one 23"U nucleus releases,on average, 200 MeV of thermal energy.

QI) Steam is supplied to a turbine at 30 bar and 350 ° C. The turbine exhaust pressure is 0.08 bar. The main condensate is heated regeneratively in two stages by steam bled from the turbine at 5 bar and 1.0 bar respectively. Calculate masses of steam bled off at each pressure per kg of steam entering the turbine and the theoretical thermal efficiency of the cycle

Could you please help with these questions, i understand there is more than one question so plese feel free to take more credits or advice on how to do so, Thanks in advance
Steam is to be condensed by direct injection of cold water. The steam enters the condenser at the rate of (450 kg/hr) with dryness fraction of (0.9) and pressure (1 bar). The estimated heat losses from the condenser to the surroundings is (8500 kJ/hr). If cold water enters at (15"C) and the mixture of condensate and cooling water is to leave at (95"C). Determine the required flow of cooling water.
The LiBr-water absorption cycle shown in the Fig. operates at the following temperatures: generator, 105 C; condenser, 35 C; evaporator, 5 C; and absorber, 30°C.
