Yes, nuclear fission is used in nuclear reactors. Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fission results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.

What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
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
Did hydrogen bombs get dropped on Hiroshima?
No, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was an atomic bomb using uranium as the fissile material.
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
fission bomb no, fusion bomb yes.
What is the speed of nuclear fission?
In an atomic bomb the time between fission generations is about 10ns and the entire reaction is over in 1us to 3us. In an atomic reactor the time between fission generations is about 10us because each neutron must collide about 1000 times with moderator atoms to slow down to "thermal" speeds.
How is an atomic bomb related to nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission
What is a nuclear weapon in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
A nuclear bomb or atomic bomb
What is an example of uncontrolled nuclear fission reaction?
Atomic fission bomb.
What does atomic bomb?
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
What is a nuclear weapon in wich enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
This nuclear weapon is called an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb
Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.
What does atomic bomb mean?
An atomic bomb is a bomb that releases a tremendous amount of energy by initiating a nuclear fission chain reaction.
Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
Maximam dengrus bomb between nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb?
If you are asking which has the maximum danger, a hydrogen bomb is one type of nuclear bomb. In general, nuclear bombs can be fission (called atomic) or fusion (hydrogen) A fusion bomb is larger than an fission bomb, and actually uses a fission bomb to start the fusion reaction.
What kind of nuclear reaction does an atomic bomb use?
Fission bombs use fission. Fusion bombs use fusion. Although atomic bomb is usually used for fission bombs, it technically applies equally to either.
Full form of a-bomb?
An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission at the atomiclevel to detonate several tons of explosives.
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
