Yes. The first use we developed for nuclear fission was the atomic bomb. The number of people who died when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is difficult to estimate precisely, but was likely over 200,000.
Even aside from nuclear weapons, the products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and fission itself produces large amount of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants, which use controlled fission reactions, can result in radioactive material being released into the environment.
What else can I help you with?
Why is nuclear fusion less harmful than a nuclear fission?
Lack (or reduced) fission products. Fission products emit most of the harmful radiation in fallout.
Why nuclear fusion are less harmful than nuclear fission?
it isn't
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
Why is it called Nuclear Fission?
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
