What nuclear reaction is used to the Bataan power plant?
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission
What type of nuclear reaction is used to create power in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission
Through which kind of nuclear reaction does the sun produce energy?
Nuclear fusion. Lighter elements such as hydrogen atoms get fused to produce heavier elements such as helium. While doing so enormous heat is produced.
What common elements are used to create a nuclear reaction?
Uranium, particularly U-235
What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?
Nuclear Fusion.
Why must a synchrotron be used to create a?
By the intermediate of a nuclear reaction this new element is obtained.Now heavy elements are bombarded with nuclei from other elements.
What nuclear reaction is used to the Bataan power plant?
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
What type of nuclear reaction is used in modern day nuclear reactors?
Current nuclear reactors rely on nuclear fission as their nuclear reaction.
What elements were used to make Curium?
The first nuclear reaction to obtain curium was:Pu-239 + He-4 = Cm-242 + nNow curium is separated from burned nuclear fuels.
In a nuclear reaction engery is released by the combination of two elements into a new element this process is an example of?
nuclear fusion
What kind of elements in nature can be used to keep nuclear reaction under control?
Water (oxygen and hydrogen) as a moderator, and boron as a control rod.
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission
What type of nuclear reaction are used in nuclear power plants?
fission
