Is nuclaer energy renewable?
Not exactly, but there are enormous reserves of nuclear fuel available. This is because a small amount of uranium, for example, or of deuterium, produce a large amount of energy.
Particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay produce?
Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes
Which equation shows why nuclear fission can produce a large amount of energy from very little mass?
E=mc^2
Which type of nuclear reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy?
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
Does creating nuclear energy produce large amounts of radioactive wastes?
True
What do nuclear fission release?
Large amount of energy and extra neutrons are released
Do nuclear reactors supply a large amount of energy using a very small amount of fuel?
yes
What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
What is a reaction in which a large amount of energy is released?
Typically nuclear reactions produce large amounts of energy.
How does nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
nuclear fusion is when two atoms are forced together, fusing their nuclei into a heavier element and releasing a large amount of energy. Fission is when an atom is broken up into smaller atoms releasing a large amount of energy.
How does fission produce?
Nuclear fission is nuclear reaction in which nucleus of an atom , usually a heavy element, splits into smaller parts i.e. lighter nuclei . Free neutrons and photons are produced along with release of large amount of energy.
What are some benefits of a nuclear power plant?
Much cleaner than coal powered plants (no emissions) - although there is nuclear waste Produce relatively cheap energyProduces extremely large amount of energy compared to a coal plant
