Do nuclear chain reactions happen in only uranium?
The most common fuels used in nuclear chain reactions are 235U (uranium) and 239Pu (plutonium).
Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
Is fusion a chain reaction?
Not exactly, nuclear chain reactions are a series of nuclear fissions initiated by neutrons produced in a preceding fission.
What are Controlled nuclear chain reactions?
Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
What is a benefit of nuclear fussion?
There is a lower risk of runaway chain reactions.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and in a nuclear reactor?
the suns nuclear reactions happen at extreme temperatures we do it at lower temps
What is the other term for a chain reaction in which grows exponentially in nuclear chemistry?
'Nuclear chemistry' is an odd term, what does it mean? Nuclear energy and chemical energy are not at all related, but both can have chain reactions.
Why does nuclear chemistry happen?
The object of nuclear chemistry is the study of radioactive materials, nuclear wastes, chemical reactions in a nuclear reactor etc.
What type of nuclear chain reactions are atomic bombs?
What happens is the nuclear bomb explodes and something like gas comes from it and it disinigrates you
What must happen for a nuclear to make electricity?
a chain reaction
A nuclear fission process in which neutrons produced by fission trigger more fissions?
nuclear chain reactionNote: there are also chemical chain reactions (e.g. polymerization), of course they involve no neutrons
Fossil fuels form from nuclear chain reactions?
No. They are fossils that formed underground with pressure for thousands of years.
