Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
For a chain reaction occur each fission must produce at least ____more fission reaction?
its 1 i think
Why is nuclear energy called Nuclear energy?
Because it is energy derived from the heat made by a (Hopefully) controlled nuclear reaction. The nuclear reaction involves the nucleus of Uranium 235 (or possibly Plutonium 239) fissioning or splitting which releases a large amount of energy, so it is a nuclear process, not a chemical one such as would occur between atoms or molecules.
How a nuclear accident occur?
There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.
Why does a chain reaction not occur in uranium mines?
Mainly because only about 0.7% of uranium is the isotope uranium-235, which is easily fissionable. It is believed that in Earth's remote past, there were such chain reactions - natural reactors - at a time when the percentage of U-235 was higher.
Minimum mass of material requied for the nuclear chain reaction to occur in a nuclear bomb is called?
The critical mass
In what area of the nuclear power plant does the chain reaction occur?
fuel assemblies in the core.
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
How does a nuclear disaster occur?
A nuclear disaster may occur when the radioactive materials are mishandled and which may lead to radioactive exposure or a chain reaction of nuclear fission, fusion. Most of these disasters are induced by the man made mistakes.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
Where did the first self-substaining nuclear fission chain reaction occur?
Enrico Fermi, 1942
Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
Where did the first nuclear reaction occur?
In this solar system, it is on the sun.
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
High Energy produced with high velocity which required for nuclear reaction
What condition is not necessary for a chain reaction to occur?
The absence of a bombarding presence of neutrons.
Where nuclear reaction occur?
In the nucleus of the fuel material, such as uranium-235
