Soviet-designed nuclear power reactor developed in the 1960s and 1970s. It is a graphite-moderated, light-water-cooled, channel type reactor designed primarily...

Gray iron or gray cast iron is a mixture of cast iron and graphite. It is used in cookware and combustion cylinders. The more force the iron can hold,...

made of a narrow, colored core inside a wooden cylindrical case. Unlike graphite and charcoal pencils, colored pencils' cores are wax or oil-based and have...
