what is nuclear fission?
nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy.
100
what is nuclear energy?
is a energy in the nucleus of an atom.
100
what is nuclear fusion?
a reaction in which two nuclei combine to form a nucleus with the release of energy
100
what is uranium?
a white, lustrous, radioactive, metallic element, occurring in pitchblende, and having compounds that are used in photography and in coloring glass.
200
Is nuclear fission a process of nuclear physics?
yes nuclear fission is a process of nuclear physics.
200
true or false.Atoms are not tiny particles that make up every object in the universe.
false, because atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe.
200
what is the einstein relationship to nuclear fusion?
the relationship is if combined nuclear mass is less then that of iron at the park of the binding energy curve.
200
what fuel is most widely used by nuclear plants?
uranium
300
These fragments, or fission products, are about equal to half the original mass. So how many neutrons are also emitted?
Two or three neutrons are also emitted.
300
Is Nuclear energy energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom.
yes, nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom.
300
what type of nuclear fusion sources the earth?
nuclear energy, the deuterium tritium fusion reaction combined by some kind of magnetic confinement.
300
is uranium renewable or nonrenewable energy?
nonrenewable
400
does nuclear fission produce neutrons?
yes nuclear fission produces neutrons.
400
what is the status of the U.S. nuclear industry?
There are currently 104 operable commercial nuclear reactors at 65 nuclear power plants.
400
true or false? Nuclear Fusion is not the acknowledged world-leading journal specializing in fusion physics.
false, nuclear fusion is the acknowledged world-leading journal specializing in fusion physics.
400
what splits releasing a great amount of energy as heat and radiation?
a small particle called neutron hits uranium atom.
500
If a massive nucleus like uranium-235 breaks apart (fissions) then what will there be?
then there will be a net yield of energy because the sum of the masses of the fragments will be less than the mass of the uranium nucleus.
500
true or false? nuclear energy ever is a threat to human life.
true, because there is enough data in the last quarter century to prove that nuclear energy is a threat to human life its self.
500
what fuses together to make nuclear fusion?
hydrogen atoms fuses together to form helium.
500
what are the neutrons called that bombard other uranium atom, and the process repeats itself over and over again?
this is called a chain reaction.
