What else can I help you with?
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
What particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction?
Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
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 is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What is artificial nuclear reactor?
An artificial nuclear reactor is a device that initiates and controls a sustained nuclear chain reaction. This reaction produces heat, which is used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants. The fission process in these reactors generates energy by splitting atomic nuclei.
What is a nuclear reactor and what is its purpose?
The nuclear reactor is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs. Its purpose is for:propulsion (e,g for nuclear submarines and ice breakers)process heat (e,g, for district heating)electricity productionradioisotope productionresearchmaterial testingmedical treatmentsaline water desalination
Is Nuclear bomb is a chain reaction?
Yes.
What was the year of the first nuclear chain reaction?
1942
Is nuclear fission a chain reaction?
Not of itself, but it can be made to be.
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.
