Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
The discovery of the principle of nuclear fission led to the production of the atomic bomb and the construction of nuclear power plant?
Yes, I think that can be said
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Is an example of nuclear fission?
An example of nuclear fission might be a nuclear weapon. In this device, sub-critical masses of fissionable material are driven together by conventional explosives. This "assembles" a critical mass, and a chain reaction will follow. That is a nuclear fission chain reaction. In another example, a nuclear reactor has its control rods pulled and achieves criticality. It is brought to operating temperature and generates heat to make steam and drive turbines. The reactor operates on the principle of nuclear fission.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What prosses causes atars to give off heat and linght?
Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion are the reactions which enable stars to give off heat and light. Nuclear Fission: When a nucleus of an atom of heavy element splits is called nuclear fission. The principle used in Nuclear reactors. Uranium 255 is broken down to form krypton and lead. Nuclear Fusion: When nuclei of 2 or more light atoms fuse or join together is called nuclear fusion. The principle used in Hydrogen Bomb. Two Hydrogen atoms fuse together to form a Helium atom.
Occurs when a large nucleus splits releasing energy and two smaller nuclei?
Nuclear fission.
What is the process of the production of lighter nuclei from heavier nuclei called. Nuclear radiation nuclear force fusion or fission?
Nuclear fission
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
