Most nuclear reactions, on the atomic scale, occur in the sub-picosecond (1 x 10-12) range. When you start talking about larger scales, it depends on geometry and critical mass.
If, however, you are talking about half-life, then you are asking a probabilistic question, and that is a function of the specific radionuclide.
10,000,000 and up.
Yes, chain reactions take place in nuclear reactors. In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction involves the splitting of uranium atoms (fission) which releases energy and more neutrons, leading to further fission reactions. Control rods are used to regulate and maintain the chain reaction at a steady rate.
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
nuclear fusion reaction
The energy produced in the sun is liberated in the form of heat and light. The reaction going on in the sun is known as Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission. Both processes take place simultaneously.
Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the sun.
The place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place is called a nuclear reactor. In a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms are split in a controlled manner to produce heat energy, which is used to generate electricity.
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
Light reaction take place in day time. Dark reaction take place at night
Nuclear fission reactions often take place in nuclear reactors. The key factors that contribute to their occurrence in that location include the presence of fissile materials such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, control rods to regulate the reaction, and a moderator to slow down the neutrons.
Light reaction takes place. The first step of photosynthesis
Russia, the nuclear plant was in the place called chernobyl :)
