Often times, if the fission reaction is exothermic, the substance being split apart is itself radioactive since exothermic energy strength is proportional (once you get past nickel) to atomic number. Also, the form in which the energy is being delivered to the isotope in question can be radioactive, like neutrons.
What else can I help you with?
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive?
Uranium
Are the products of nuclear fussion radioactive?
no, but the products of fission are radioactive
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive poisonous and explosive?
We know that plutonium is radioactive, highly toxic and is fissionable (capable of use in a nuclear weapon).
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
How does radioactive materials used to produce nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is produced by fission of new fuel, which is only very slightly radioactive to start with (it is safe to handle unprotected). It becomes radioactive during the reactor's operation, and at the end of life the radioactivity of the fuel contributes some 5% or so of the output heat, the rest is due to fission directly. There are some uses for radioactive isotopes to produce electricity directly but these are only used in satellites for small instrument type supplies.
What is the radioactive metal used in nuclear reactor?
The radioactive metal used in nuclear reactors is uranium. It is commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors due to its ability to undergo nuclear fission, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
What a radioactive material used for nuclear fission?
Clearly the main nuclear elements are plutonium, URANIUM, and a not widely known one thorium
Radioactive element used for nuclear energy?
Uranium is the most commonly used radioactive element for nuclear energy production. When uranium atoms undergo nuclear fission, they release energy that can be harnessed in nuclear reactors to generate electricity.
Does nuclear fusion create radioactive waste?
Nuclear fusion does not create long-lasting radioactive waste like nuclear fission does. However, some materials used in fusion reactors may become radioactive and need to be handled carefully.
None of the products of nuclear fission of uranium are radioactive?
This statement is incorrect. The products of nuclear fission of uranium are typically highly radioactive, including elements such as cesium, strontium, and iodine. These radioactive byproducts require proper handling and disposal to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
