The term "fast critical" means super criticality to the point where the rate of neutron increase is not limited by delayed neutrons as in a normal controlled reactor. This would be true of a nuclear weapon.
Nuclear is a name given to a type of energy, these types of energy are fission and fusion.
Fission products, in the case of uranium, krypton 92 and barium 141.
Nuclear physicist.
The two types of nuclear energy are nuclear fission nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the nuclei of the atoms are split. In nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, the nuclei of the atoms are joined together.
The process is called nuclear fission, in which the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines in nuclear power plants.
The process where nuclear fuels release energy is called nuclear fission. It involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Nuclear fission
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a nucleus with a large mass into two nuclei with smaller masses. The energy released can then be used to produce electricity. Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass. The energy released by this reaction may someday be used to produce electricity. In other words, Nuclear Fusion is the exact opposite of Nuclear fission. While Nuclear Fission is splitting a nucleus into two nuclei, nuclear fusion is merging two nuclei into a nucleus.
Otto Hahn and Fritz Stassmann were the discoverers.
"Nuclear" in nuclear energy refers to the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear energy is produced through the splitting (fission) or merging (fusion) of atomic nuclei, which releases a large amount of energy. The term "nuclear" distinguishes this type of energy production from other forms like chemical or mechanical.
The process is called nuclear fission. It involves the splitting of heavy nuclei, such as uranium or plutonium, into two or more lighter nuclei, along with the release of energy and additional neutrons. This process is the basis for generating energy in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
