What make Uranium fission?
Uranium (especialy the fissile isotope) 235U is fissionable by bombardments with thermal neutrons.
An isotope of uranium using nuclide notation?
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
What uranium nucleus is fissile?
The isotopes 233U and 235U are fissile with thermal neutrons and the isotope 238U is fissile with fast neutrons.
What is a cascade in terms of refining uranium?
A cascade is a long series of identical, successive specific equipments used in the process of uranium enriching in the isotope 235U.
What determines the different isotopes from an atom?
The name of the element and the mass number (number of protons + neutrons) it is written e.g Uranium-235 or symbolically 235U
Which equation represents the alpha decay of plutonium 244?
The isotope plutonium 224 don't exist.
How many years will it take for 10g of radioactive uranium to decay into 5g of radioactive uranium?
Depending on the isotope: - for 235U: 7,038.108 years - for 238U: 4,468.109 years etc.
The uranium decay chain ends when the final disintergration product is the stable element?
The uranium decay chain ends with lead stable isotopes.
Describe the difference between weapons grade and reactor grade nuclear fuel?
Uranium in nature is only about 0.7% 235U. In order to have a chain reaction, the percentage of 235U must be increased by enrichment. The percentages of 235U in nuclear reactors are generally low, about 3% to 5%. For bombs, the percentage is generally 85% or more.
What does the 235 refer to in uranium 235?
235 is the approx. atomic mass of the isotope 235U.
What is the Uranium bomb?
A bomb containing highly enriched uranium (in the isotope 235U) as explosive.
Why uranium 235 is used in fusion reaction?
The isotope 235U is important for the nuclear fissionreaction (not fusion !).
What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 235?
The equation for the alpha decay of 235U is: 92235U --> 90231Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 235U also decays by spontaneous fission, but the results are somewhat unpredictable, so there is no standard equation.
What make Uranium fission?
Uranium (especialy the fissile isotope) 235U is fissionable by bombardments with thermal neutrons.
An isotope of uranium using nuclide notation?
The chemical symbol of uranium is U.
What is completed uranium?
You think probably to depleted uranium.Depleted uranium is uranium containing less than 0,2 % the isotope 235U.
What uranium nucleus is fissile?
The isotopes 233U and 235U are fissile with thermal neutrons and the isotope 238U is fissile with fast neutrons.
