What else can I help you with?
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
How does the sun goes on shining?
Due nuclear reaction on sun which are uncontrolled chain reaction with huge amount of energy
What happens to a stars nuclear energy generation change if the core decreases in temperature?
What happens to a stars nuclear energy generation change if the core decreases in temperature?
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
What happens within a star that gives it energy?
Nuclear fusion does.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Is the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant controlled or uncontrolled?
Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.
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.
What is an uncontrolled nuclear fission?
There are both controlled and uncontrolled fission reactions. The reactors in nuclear power plants and submarines make use of a controlled nuclear reaction. Nuclear weapons make use of an uncontrolled reaction.
What happens to the loss mass during fission?
It becomes energy, hence the energy released in nuclear bombs.
Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
