Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
Chicago, 1942
so far with the research that i have done its only common in areas were nuclear reactions are common.
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
nuclear reactions
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Nuclear reactions at very high temperatures are known as thermonuclear reactions. These reactions involve the fusion of atomic nuclei, typically hydrogen isotopes, and release large amounts of energy. Thermonuclear reactions are responsible for the energy production in stars like our sun.
Enrico Fermi, an Italian physicist, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his work on nuclear reactions and the discovery of transuranium elements. He is known for his contributions to the development of the first nuclear reactor and his significant role in the Manhattan Project.
A controlled nuclear reaction is one in which the average number of reactions per second does not increase.
Nuclear fusion
