Einstein showed that all matter has energy, E = mc2. But that doesn't mean we can release it as nuclear energy. Only materials like uranium and plutonium can be used for that and you won't find those at home.
Actually, virtually everything has some kind of radioactive energy. BUT! Only a little bit. If you are intending to harness this, you would need something very strong- and actually has nuclear energy specifically.
The use of nuclear energy in civilian society is to generate electricity. In the military it is to make bombs (and hopefully not use them). There are also some uses in medicine where radio isotopes can be used for diagnosis and treatment. These isotopes are produced by irradiation in low power reactors which enable short lived radio isotopes to be obtained as required.
Power stations produce electricity fronm nuclear power. Submarines and naval vessels produce propulsion power from the same source.
Nuclear reactors tap nuclear power. So do nuclear weapons.in nuclear power plants nuclear bombs, for production of electricity, for some medical diagnosis, etc.
A nuclear reactor
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
Fission
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
Uranium is a radioactive substance. Nuclear power production is carried out by the energy supplied by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors control the energy emission by nuclear fission reaction in radioactive substance when bombarded by neutrons.
It is simply a fact that nuclear fission produces radioactive fission products
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
U-235 isotope. (That is, of Uranium. It is a radioactive element.) The atoms are stocked in fuel rods, and the fission begins!
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
Yes. The first use we developed for nuclear fission was the atomic bomb. The number of people who died when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is difficult to estimate precisely, but was likely over 200,000. Even aside from nuclear weapons, the products of nuclear fission are highly radioactive and fission itself produces large amount of radiation. Accidents at nuclear power plants, which use controlled fission reactions, can result in radioactive material being released into the environment.
