What is the name of the reaction that occurs in a nuclear reactors core?
The main reaction that occurs in a nuclear reactor core is nuclear fission. In this reaction, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity in the reactor.
Is there a place other then the Sun that nuclear reaction happens?
Yes - all the millions of other stars in the Universe, where fusion occurs. Also of course fission reactions in all nuclear reactors on earth
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
What type of nuclear reaction occurs in a reactor?
Nuclear fission is the primary type of nuclear reaction that occurs in a reactor. It involves the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei to release energy.
What reaction occurs when uranium atoms are split?
In such a case nuclear fission occurs.
What is the meaning of nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
Which nuclear reaction occurs when one nucleus splits into two nuclei?
Nuclear Fission
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?
Nuclear fission
When nuclear fussion occurs some mass is lost where does it go?
The mass that is lost during nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy is what powers the sun and other stars.
When a uranium nucleus breaks up into fragments which type of nuclear reaction occurs?
The nuclear reaction that occurs when a uranium nucleus breaks up into fragments is called nuclear fission. It releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
What kind of reaction occurs to produce energy inside a star?
Nuclear Fusion
