What does fission happen in?
Nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
Parts of nuclear reactor where nuclear fission occurs?
core
Which section of a nuclear reactor does nuclear fission occurs?
The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
How is nuclear fission initiated in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission in a nuclear reactor is initiated by bombarding uranium or plutonium atoms with neutrons, causing them to split and release more neutrons, which then continue the chain reaction.
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
How do control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission?
Control rods in a nuclear reactor regulate the rate of nuclear fission by absorbing neutrons, which are needed to sustain the fission process. By adjusting the position of the control rods, operators can control the number of neutrons available to cause fission reactions, thus regulating the overall power output of the reactor.
What is nuclear energies most common use?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
The place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place is called a nuclear reactor. In a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms are split in a controlled manner to produce heat energy, which is used to generate electricity.
