Which feature of nuclear Neutrons start the reaction and are released during it.
fission reactions allows these
reactions to take place in a
chain reaction?
Fisson the process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two
lighter atoms, releasing a large amount of energy
fusion the process in which the nuclei of two atoms join to form a
heavier atom, releasing a large amount of energy
Nuclear reactions involve nuclei, products of nuclear reactions are lighter than
reactants
Nuclear energy reaction large amounts of energy are released during nuclear reactions,
due in part to conversion of mass to energy; converted to
thermal energy
<Nuclear> nuclear reactor generates thermal energy
<Thermal> converts liquid water to steam to power turbine
<Mechanical> turbine movement creates mechanical energy
Fission Power Plants
<Electrical> generator converts the mechanical energy to
electrical energy
What are the products of a lighter atoms; energy; neutrons
fission reaction?
retrofit to provide with new parts not available during the original
construction
*Only fission is being used on a cost-effective manner with
today's tech
Used Today
*Electricity from fusion nuke energy has been achieved, but is
not yet practical
Which is a concern about dust in the air could be radioactive
mining for uranium?
