What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction?
Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What controls the chain reaction in a nuclear reaction?
moderator
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
What control the chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The reason a nuclear chain reaction occurs is that one of the by products of a single reaction: the neutrons can start reactions of their own. So how do you stop a chain reaction? Stop these neutrons from causing any more reactions. This is done in nuclear reactors by placing control rods into the reactor core. These control rods are made of elements that can absorb the high energy neutrons without reacting themselves. Therefore, by moving these rods in and out of the reactor, the rate of reaction in a nuclear reactor can be easily controlled.
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Is Nuclear bomb is a chain reaction?
Yes.
What is necessary sustain a nuclear chain reaction?
In a chain reaction, neutrons released during the splitting of an initial nucleus trigger a series of nuclear fissions.
