reactors
Fission energy sources
Reactors are devices or vessels in which controlled reactions occur.
A nuclear reactor contains and controls nuclear fission to generate power.
Chemical reactors are vessels where chemical reactions take place under controlled conditions.
The word also describes people who react to something: The video attracted thousands of reactors in the comments.
In online culture, reactors are content creators who film themselves reacting to videos, music, or other media.
