The very first nuclear reaction (in our Solar System)occurred when a cloud of interstellar gases collapsed, over a period of about 10 million years, about 5 billion years ago, and then grew hot enough to form a fusion reaction with hydrogen becoming helium, resulting in the formation of our Sun.
What else can I help you with?
Where did the first nuclear reaction occur?
In this solar system, it is on the sun.
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
Which type of nuclear burst occurs?
A nuclear burst can occur as a result of a nuclear explosion, which can be caused by either a fission or fusion reaction. The specific type of burst depends on the design and intent of the nuclear device used.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission reactions typically occur in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is where the fissionable material, such as uranium-235, is bombarded with neutrons, causing the nuclei to split and release more neutrons and energy in a chain reaction.
What causes a nuclear explosion?
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
Minimum mass of material requied for the nuclear chain reaction to occur in a nuclear bomb is called?
The critical mass
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
Where nuclear reaction occur?
In the nucleus of the fuel material, such as uranium-235
What is meant by TNT in nuclear reaction?
TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a conventional explosive used to trigger the beginning of a nuclear reaction in some nuclear weapons. When the TNT detonates, it generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fission process in the nuclear material, causing a chain reaction to occur.
In what area of the nuclear power plant does the chain reaction occur?
fuel assemblies in the core.
Where did the first self-substaining nuclear fission chain reaction occur?
The first self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction occurred at the University of Chicago's Stagg Field on December 2, 1942, as part of the Manhattan Project. Physicist Enrico Fermi led the team of scientists that successfully achieved this milestone in nuclear physics and engineering.
How does a nuclear disaster occur?
A nuclear disaster may occur when the radioactive materials are mishandled and which may lead to radioactive exposure or a chain reaction of nuclear fission, fusion. Most of these disasters are induced by the man made mistakes.
