What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei?
they combine to small nuclei to smaller unit
Why does nuclear reactions produce tremendous amounts of energy and what is the source of this energy?
It is due to the annihilation of a small part of the nuclear masses involved
Is Australia nuclear free?
There is a small reactor at Sydney used to produce radioisotopes. No power reactors.
What is artificial transmutation?
An artificially induced nuclear reaction caused by the bombardment of a nucleus with subatomic particiles or small nucei.
What is the combining of two small nuclei to produce heat and one larger nuclei called?
Nuclear fusion
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei combine?
Nuclear fusion.
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei?
they combine to small nuclei to smaller unit
What does NOT describe a nuclear reaction?
Relatively small amounts of energy are released or absorbed.

How much electricity can a nuclear reactor produce?
Nuclear reactors vary in size the same way any engine does. On the small size, they could produce tens of kilowatts. On the large side they can produce gigawatts. Commercial nuclear reactors that provide power to electrical grids produce about half a gigawatt to about one and a half gigawatts. They do not produce power continuously, even if there are no problems. They have to be shut down periodically for refueling.
An ongoing series of fission reactions is called a (n) .?
Fission and fusion reactions are chain reactions but in different ways. In fission reaction a heavy nuclei is bombarded with a slow moving neutron and this nuclei breaks to produce more such neurons along with generation of new elements. These slow moving neutrons are further used to carry out fission of more such nuclei. This is chain reaction. Fusion reaction are a different class of nuclear reaction in which small nuclei fuse together to produce bigger nuclei along with the generation of energy due to mass defect.. In fusion reaction lot of energy is produced and this energy is used to carry out further reaction. Thus both can be called series reaction.
Why might the following nuclear reaction not be very good for energy production in a fission reactor?
The reactants are too small to obtain energy from the missing mass due to strong nuclear force.
Which type of nuclear reaction from large less stable nucei decomposing into small more stable nuclei?
the path followed by one object as it revolves around another is called
Describe how nuclear fusion generates the suns energy?
It is the process that produces all the sun's energy
