All thermal reactors, that is those using a moderator to slow down the fission neutrons, use the same reaction. In the US all commercial reactors (104 of them) are either PWR or BWR types.
Nuclear explosions are not controlled. Nuclear reactors are controlled.The first controlled nuclear reaction in the US was on December 2, 1942.The first nuclear explosion in the US was on July 16, 1945.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942, and the first nuclear meltdown in US history occurred in 1979, marking a span of 37 years between these two events.
Nuclear
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
nuclear reaction= Kernreaktion
The US has refrained from using nuclear weapons due to the catastrophic human and environmental consequences associated with their use. Additionally, the world community, including the US, has generally upheld international agreements and norms that seek to prevent the use of nuclear weapons.
False
nuclear
A nuclear reactor contains a nuclear reaction, provides support for the control mechanisms for the reaction, and provides for the transfer of heat to machinery that will use it to produce electric power.
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
A nuclear reaction is not considered a living thing.
