How many neutrons are produced during a typical uranium fission reaction and what is the role of these neutrons in a nuclear chain reaction?
A typical uranium fission event produces 2 to 3 neutrons. These neutrons are moderated (slowed down) and go on to initiate the fission of more uranium. On average, in a controlled reaction that is maintained at normal criticality (KEffective = 1), each fission creates exactly one neutron that is used to produce another fission.
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reaction is?
Uranium
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction . Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235
Two particles to start nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium 235 (92U235) and slow Neutrons.
Is a source of energy that utilizes uranium-235 in a fission reaction to vaporize water. The steam is then used to turn turbines to generate electricity.?
nuclear power

What is the reaction done within an uranium bomb?
A nuclear fission reaction.
The uranium atom can be triggered to split when struck by?
The nuclear fission of uranium is a reaction with neutrons.
What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?
Nuclear fission
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared

What reaction occurs when uranium atoms are split?
In such a case nuclear fission occurs.
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reaction is?
Uranium
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
Does Uranium 238 and 235 release neutrons in nature as they do in a fission process?
Yes, by spontaneous fission, but the nymber of neutrons is very small because the halflife of the spontenuoes fission is: for Uranium 235: (1,0 ± 0,3).1019 years for Uranium 238: (8,20 ± 0,10).1015years
What particle is nessicary to start a fisson reation?
A fission reaction in uranium requires neutrons.
