What is subcritical mass?
Subcritical mass refers to an amount of fissile material that is not enough to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. This means the material does not reach a critical mass where nuclear fission reactions can continue in a self-sustaining manner. In order for a sustained chain reaction to occur, the material must exceed the critical mass threshold.
Does critical mass depend on polarity?
No, critical mass does not depend on polarity. Critical mass is simply the amount of fissile material needed to sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Polarity, which is a property of molecules, does not play a role in determining critical mass.
What is the smallest amount of radioactive material that will support a self sustained reaction?
The smallest amount of radioactive material that can support a self-sustained nuclear reaction is called the "critical mass." This mass varies depending on the type of fissile material, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, and the configuration of the material. For instance, the critical mass for uranium-235 in a spherical shape is about 52 kilograms. This threshold is crucial for achieving a sustained chain reaction in nuclear fission.
What is the amount of fissionable material required to continue a reaction at a constant rate?
The amount of fissionable material required to sustain a nuclear reaction at a constant rate is determined by the material's critical mass. The critical mass is the minimum amount of fissionable material needed to sustain a chain reaction, and it varies depending on the material and the reactor design. By controlling factors such as neutron moderation and absorption, reactor operators can adjust the critical mass to maintain a steady reaction rate.
What produces a type-I supernova?
A type-I supernova occurs when a white dwarf star accumulates mass from a companion star until it reaches a critical threshold, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction. This causes the white dwarf to explode in a bright supernova event.
Do nuclear reactors have critical mass?
We know that critical mass can be achieved in a nuclear reactor. If it could not, we'd not be able to get a chain reaction and generate heat to generate power. Reactors don't have critical mass when the control rods are in, but pull the rods, start the reactor up and away you go!
What is the amount of radioactive material needed to sustain a chain reaction in order to provide useful energy called?
The critical mass.
What is not a factor in determining critical mass is?
The color of the bicycles is not a factor in determining critical mass. Critical mass refers to the minimum number of participants needed for a collective action to be effective, typically in the context of a protest or demonstration involving cyclists. The factors that do influence critical mass include the number of participants, their level of commitment, and the visibility of the event.
What is upper sub-critical limit for U235 mass?
The critical mass depends on the shape; I don't think there is an upper limit to that.For the case of a sphere, the critical mass for U-235 is 52 kg. The corresponding diameter of the sphere is 17 cm.
Critical mass is the of material required to produce a chain reaction?
minimum amount
