What type of reaction occurs in a nuclear power plant?
It is NOT a chemical reaction, but a FUSION of atoms. Say two atoms of hydrogen may fuse together to form an helium atom , with the consequent release of energy.
What produces nuclear energy everyday?
A commercial nuclear power plant
What type of reactions or fuel did the Chernobyl nuclear plant use?
Nuclear Fission
Compare and contrast coal and nuclear power plant?
coal is black nuclear is purple
How do elements in nature get bonded together?
Well for things to react, usually there is an external source of energy like heat that contributes to the reaction but sometimes the reaction happens through an animal or plant like photosynthesis or when nitrogen is converted to ammonia.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens in a power plant?
Nuclear fission
What nuclear reaction is used to the Bataan power plant?
The nuclear reaction used in the Bataan power plant is nuclear fission.
What happens in a nuclear power plant in Bataan?
Nothing happens in the nuclear plant in Bataan. This plant was built but never operated.
What happens inside a plant?
photosythesis happens inside a plant
What is the ideal location of fission?
Fission refers to a nuclear reaction wherein a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously, with the release of energy. The ideal location of fission is in a power plant inside a nuclear reactor.
Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?
The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
Is the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant controlled or uncontrolled?
Controlled! ...if the reactor is working properly.
What chemical reaction happens in a plant?
photosynthesis
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
