Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
Why is nuclear energy called Nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is named after the atomic nucleus, which is the central part of an atom that contains protons and neutrons. This form of energy is generated through processes like nuclear fission, where atoms split apart, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
What causes a nuclear explosion?
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
What is a neutron reaction?
A neutron reaction is a process in which a neutron interacts with a nucleus, potentially causing changes such as fission, absorption, or scattering. These reactions play a key role in nuclear physics and nuclear engineering, contributing to processes like power generation in nuclear reactors and the formation of elements in astrophysical environments.
How a nuclear accident occur?
There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.
Where did the first nuclear reaction occur?
In this solar system, it is on the sun.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy

Where did the first self-substaining nuclear fission chain reaction occur?
Enrico Fermi, 1942
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
Minimum mass of material requied for the nuclear chain reaction to occur in a nuclear bomb is called?
The critical mass
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
High Energy produced with high velocity which required for nuclear reaction
Where nuclear reaction occur?
In the nucleus of the fuel material, such as uranium-235
What caused the very first nuclear reaction to occur?
The very first nuclear reaction (in our Solar System)occurred when a cloud of interstellar gases collapsed, over a period of about 10 million years, about 5 billion years ago, and then grew hot enough to form a fusion reaction with hydrogen becoming helium, resulting in the formation of our Sun.
In what area of the nuclear power plant does the chain reaction occur?
fuel assemblies in the core.
How does a nuclear disaster occur?
A nuclear disaster may occur when the radioactive materials are mishandled and which may lead to radioactive exposure or a chain reaction of nuclear fission, fusion. Most of these disasters are induced by the man made mistakes.
