Fast neutrons fro U238 but you can use slower neutrons for U235. Other fast bombardment nucleii may also be used

Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
Uranium 235 can be split using what?
Usually a small subatomic particle such as a neutron, since it does not contain any charge and thus is not repelled by the positively charged nucleus, and it is massive enough to give enough energy to split the uranium nucleus.
Do uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
What happens when you split a nucleus?
You can't. You can't split atoms, which have a nucleus, so therefore you can¡t split the nucleus, which is an even smaller, inner part. It's mathematically and scientifically impossible! Actually no, Nuclear energy used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs use the energy from a split nucleus of plutonium or uranium. So why is it that you think that a nucleus cannot be split when the USA has used a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki..... Genius.
Can an atom of uranium split?
Yes, by nuclear fission.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?
Nuclear fission
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when struck by?
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
Uranium 235 can be split using what?
Usually a small subatomic particle such as a neutron, since it does not contain any charge and thus is not repelled by the positively charged nucleus, and it is massive enough to give enough energy to split the uranium nucleus.
What is nuclear energy released by?
In fission reactors, which are the only ones we have at present for useful power, energy is released by the fission of the nuclei of the nuclear fuel, usually uranium-235, but sometimes plutonium-239.
Do uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
What is the process in which an uranium atom is split to generate energy?
Nuclear fission
What is it called when unstable nuclear atoms are split unto two?
either atomic decomposition or nuclear fission, fission being a uranium-235 or other such isotope having a slow moving neutron fired into it's nucleus.
What reaction occurs when uranium atoms are split?
In such a case nuclear fission occurs.
