What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
What are two dangers associated with nuclear fission?
Nuclear waste and high levels of radiation are two dangers associated with nuclear fission.
What is the majority of the suns radiation output from?
nuclear fission at the core.
Which type of nuclear reaction is used in modern-day nuclear reactors?
Nuclear fission is used in nuclear weapons to create what some might call an atomic blast (nuclear blast). Nuclear fission used this way can also be applied in special complex designs to generate enough thermal energy (heat) to initiate a fusion reaction. This creates an even bigger nuclear blast.
Is the energy of nuclear fission released as heat?
Yes, as heat and radiation Nuclear fission actually releases first fission fragments and other particles with kinetic energy, which then turns to heat as the ejected fission fragments and part of the particles are slowed down within the mass of the solid fuel.
What atom is broken to create nuclear fission?
hydrogen atom is broken to create nuclear fission
What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
Is nuclear energy obtained from radiation?
Not precisely. The current technology of nuclear energy gets energy from fission. Fission produces radiation, as well as energy.
What are two dangers associated with nuclear fission?
Nuclear waste and high levels of radiation are two dangers associated with nuclear fission.
Why is nuclear fusion less harmful than a nuclear fission?
Lack (or reduced) fission products. Fission products emit most of the harmful radiation in fallout.
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
Nuclear Fission
What is the majority of the suns radiation output from?
nuclear fission at the core.
What type of nuclear reaction is used to create power in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission
How is energy released from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
Initially as radiation (all types), most of which becomes heat.
Nuclear fission does not create any waste materials?
Actually it does.
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
