What else can I help you with?
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission reactions typically occur in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is where the fissionable material, such as uranium-235, is bombarded with neutrons, causing the nuclei to split and release more neutrons and energy in 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
How many years passed from the first controlled nuclear reaction to the first nuclear meltdown?
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942 at the University of Chicago. The first nuclear meltdown occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, which is 44 years later.
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.
Where nuclear reaction occur?
In the nucleus of the fuel material, such as uranium-235
What is meant by TNT in nuclear reaction?
TNT (trinitrotoluene) is a conventional explosive used to trigger the beginning of a nuclear reaction in some nuclear weapons. When the TNT detonates, it generates the high temperatures and pressures needed to initiate the fission process in the nuclear material, causing a chain reaction to occur.
In what area of the nuclear power plant does the chain reaction occur?
fuel assemblies in the core.
Who was first to produce and describe an artificial nuclear reaction?
Physicists Enrico Fermi and his team at the University of Chicago were the first to produce and describe an artificial nuclear reaction in 1942. They created the first controlled nuclear chain reaction as part of the Manhattan Project.
Where did the first self-substaining nuclear fission chain reaction occur?
The first self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction occurred at the University of Chicago's Stagg Field on December 2, 1942, as part of the Manhattan Project. Physicist Enrico Fermi led the team of scientists that successfully achieved this milestone in nuclear physics and engineering.
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.
Where was the first nuclear reaction?
The first chain reaction was achieved in Chicago 1942, under Enrico Fermi
