What else can I help you with?
Is there a place other then stars that have nuclear reaction?
Yes, they have accomplished nuclear fusion in a lab in Princeton.
What is the part of a nuclear reactor called where the nuclear reaction takes place?
The part of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reaction takes place is called the reactor core. It typically contains the fuel rods, control rods, and coolant necessary for sustaining and controlling the nuclear reaction.
Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?
Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
WHAT ZONE IN THE SUN IS WHERE the thermonuclear reaction take place?
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
Nuclear reaction taking place inside sun is called?
The nuclear reaction taking place inside the sun is called nuclear fusion. This is where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
What is the purpose of a reaction chamber in a nuclear reactor?
The reaction chamber in a nuclear reactor is where the nuclear fission process takes place, leading to the release of energy. It contains the nuclear fuel and control rods that regulate the reaction. The purpose of the reaction chamber is to sustain and control the nuclear chain reaction that generates heat to produce electricity in a controlled manner.
What type of reaction takes place in stars?
a nuclear recation is formed
What happens inside a a nuclear reactor?
Inside a nuclear reactor, controlled nuclear fission occurs. This process produces heat, which is used to generate steam. The steam then drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Heat removal systems and control mechanisms are in place to regulate the reaction.
What are the names of the particles involve in a nuclear reaction?
If we are just considering the "basic" nuclear reaction in a "regular" nuclear reactor, the particles of interest are the uranium-235 atoms (which are fissionable), and the neutrons, which get loose and cause fissions when they are absorbed by the U-235 atoms. We could broaden this to include some other reactions, but this is a fabulous place to begin to investigate nuclear physics.
How many years passed from the first controlled nuclear reaction to the first nuclear meltdown?
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942 at the University of Chicago. The first nuclear meltdown occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, which is 44 years later.
