Which subatomic particle is used in the production of nuclear engery by fuission?
If nuclear fusion power reactors were built they would depend on the fusion of Deuterium with Tritium which are two isotopes of hydrogen. However this cannot be done at this time. If you mean the nuclear fission power reactors now used, the chain reaction that sustains fission depends on neutrons: each fission generates 2 to 3 free neutrons which can potentially cause another fission. Impurities in materials and the positioning of control rods absorb enough of the excess neutrons to keep the reaction at a constant rate (i.e. the reactor is exactly critical at all times it is running at constant power). Readable spelling helps get the right answer, otherwise we must guess and might answer wrong because of a single letter.

what is the estinated cost for running a red light when making a right hand turn in california.
Why until recently was there no nuclear reactors in Mexico and Central America?
It depends on what you mean as "recently": the Laguna Verde power plant in Mexico and its two 4.8 GW nuclear reactors were built since 1976 and 1977, respectively. Also both became fully operational since 1989 and 1995. There are no other "commercial" nuclear power plants in Central America: there were two plants in Puerto Rico, but were dismantled or decommissioned since 1968. The island of Cuba tried to build a nuclear plant with the help of the Soviet Union, but the construction was suspended due to the collapse of the later. Panama (the canal zone) had a floating nuclear power plant, but was decommissioned since 1976. Finally, the island of Jamaica has a pair of reactors, but those have a nominal output of a mere 20 kW, so they are used almost exclusively for research.If you mean why there are no new plants being built right now, the answer is the huge costs associated with such endeavour and the fears that resulted from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Is it true that GE has a history of some of its activities giving rise to large-scale air and water pollution and the nuclear reactors involved in the 2011 crisis in Japan are GE designed?
Yeah you are right this incident happen in GE lightning industry in Fukushima, Japan this year & it involved nuclear reactor which lead to heavy air pollution in Japan.
What are some positives and negatives of having a nuclear reactor on the ring of fire?
because, like right now, if there were to be a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, the reactors could fail and there could be significant nuclear radiation leakage. I really cannot think of why it would be a good idea other than to power cites. Basically it's a bad idea in the long run...
What is right leg running?
When your running on your right leg.
Car is not running right?
what do u mean not running right? is it miss firing, etc?
When does the new nuclear envelope do?
It does right after mitosis.
Where are Nuclear Weapons right now?
korea
What is the importance of nuclear warfare?
Nuclear weapons are right now the only barrier between WW3.
Has nuclear power been successfully used in the past?
Nuclear power is successfully used right now.
Is California Gulf part of California?
No, it's part of Mexico not California. I say that because it's right beside Baja California (which is part of Mexico), and also the Gulf of California is right beside Mexico.
