Where was the first nuclear reaction?
The first chain reaction was achieved in Chicago 1942, under Enrico Fermi
What does it mean if a isotope is fissile?
Fissile means that an isotope is capable of supporting a sustained nuclear chain reaction.
How has having an atomic model improved science?
the first sustained and controlled nuclear chain reaction by Enrico Fermi in 1942
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 type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction?
Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What controls the chain reaction in a nuclear reaction?
moderator
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
