Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

Where is fission used by humans?
In nuclear reactors, there are over 400 operating power reactors world wide
Natural commutation is used in which kind of circuit?
phase controlled RECTIFIER circuit used Natural Commutation......
Why should gas metal arc welding oonly be used in climate controlled areas?
inert gas
Nuclear fission does not create any waste materials?
Actually it does.
Why Silicon Controlled Rectifier is called current controlled device?
Because it is controlled by the gate current
Can Nuclear fission be controlled?
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
How is fission inside a powerplant controlled?
The fission is controlled by inserting rods made of a material that absorbs the neutrons. This keeps the reaction from continuing, or slows the chain reaction.
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished by?
fission
Mechanism and container for controlled fission is called?
A nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
How is the rate of the fission in a nuclear reactor controlled?
By the control rods and by the moderator.
Do nuclear plants use fission or fusion to create electricity?
Fission. We don't have the technology to fuse atoms in a controlled way yet.
How is the rate of a fission reaction controlled within a nuclear reactor?
Using control rods that obsorb neutrons, and can be gradualy raised or lowered into the core. In emergencies, "neutron poisons" are used, which almost instantly stop most fission within the core.
What is the meaning of nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
What is meant by nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
In the core of a nuclear reactor
