How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
What are the advantages of using nuclear as a source of energy?
There are large amounts of fissionable isotopes on the planet, especially if one uses breeder reactors. No greenhouse gasses are produced by nuclear fission. If the process of designing, building, testing, and approving nuclear fission reactors can be streamlined, then costs can be favorable. The disadvantages include safety issues and unwanted radioactive end product. The radioactive end product is the source of low level heat. Possibly uses can be found for this heat. For example, it might be used to evaporate water off the east coast of equatorial Africa to increase rainfall.
Why nuclear power station is cleaner than fossil fuel power station?
Because it doesn't pump thousands of tons of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of generating electricity. While nuclear waste IS highly radioactive, providing all safety precautions are taken, the ONLY waste product of a nuclear plant - is hot water from the turbines !
What is one negative impact that using nuclear energy is?
nuclear waste pollutes the environment.and if we use radioactive elements like uranium to generate nuclear energy then some waste will also get generated as the by product of the reaction and these waste are highly radioactive,dangerous to us and the environment and the last but not the least the radioactive waste will remain on earth for thousands of year
What kind of toxic waste is produced near nuclear energy?
It is produced by the product of a nuclear plant by the uranium turning waste/gunk radioactive and the gunk flowing through waste pipes and having a black tint -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually Uranium gets split into Barium and Krypton along with release of immense heat energy. These by products are highly radioactive. These would emit harmful gamma radiations. These are considered as nuclear waste. Some innovative techniques have to be found so as to recycle these without any harm. Definitely human brain would catch that soon.
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
What is the radioactive element which is a by product of a nuclear reactor?
neptunium and plutonium
What waste products come from power stations?
Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear fission, though industries not directly connected to the nuclear power industry may also produce radioactive waste.
Between nuclear fission and fussion radioactive by-product are more characteristic of which?
Fission
Describe the concept of using radioactive elements to establish an age for a fossil Be sure to include how the parent and daughter elements are used in the determination of age?
A daughter product is either a different element altogether, or is a different nuclide of the same parent element. A daughter product may or may not be radioactive. radioactive decay is a nucleus consists of a bunch of protons and neutrons known as nucleons.
Is a toxic inert gas that is a product of some nuclear reactions?
You think probable to radon (radioactive gas).
Can you get power from the radioactive element Xenon?
xenon is usually a waste product of nuclear reactors and although has power not that much
When thorium decays by producing an alpha praticle the product nuclide is?
The decay of thorium by alpha decay the resultant nuclide is the element radium. The specific nuclide of radium cannot be determined unless we know which specific nuclide of thorium underwent alpha decay.
What is nuclear refining facility?
The refining of partially radioactive raw materials such as stone and dirt to extract the radioactive portion for use as nuclear fuel. One example, the use of a nuclear centrifuge to spin the raw material, using the difference in specific gravity to separate and extract the final product.
Is cesium in atomic bombs?
No. However the radioactive isotope cesium-135 is a product of the fission that takes place in a nuclear explosion.
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
What is the product of a radioactive decay called?
The product.
