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.

What is the name of the process in which a nuclear fuel produces heat?
Nuclear fission
What is the name of the process in which the nuclear fuels release energy?
Nuclear fission
What are the main types of nuclear energy?
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.
What is nuclear powerd by?
Nuclear is a name given to a type of energy, these types of energy are fission and fusion.

it is funny hello my name is ................... sjgvgbvdhvbdh
What are the name of fission fragements in a nuclear reactor?
Fission products, in the case of uranium, krypton 92 and barium 141.
What is the name of the scientist that studies fission and fusion atoms?
Nuclear physicist.
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What is the name of the nuclear process in which heavy nuclei split into two lighter nuclei?
Fission
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
Nuclear fission
Name the process by which prokryotic cells divide?
aka, nuclear division- MITOSIS binary fission
How does nuclear fission differ from nuclear fusion?
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.
