I thinks its Nuclear fission that’s what I put
What else can I help you with?
From where radioactive wastes are produced?
By nuclear power plants
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
Why can't chemical treatment be used to destroy the radioactive products produced in a nuclear reactor?
The radioactive materials produced in a nuclear reactor are radioactive because of instability in the nucleus of the atoms of the radioactive materials. Chemistry only affects the way elements behave because of the electron structure. Chemistry is electonic and the radioactive products have problems in their nuclei. Chemistry doesn't affect the nucleus of the atom, so chemical methods cannot be used to deal with radioactive materials, per se.
Is polonium nuclear?
Polonium is a radioactive chemical element.
Does nuclear fusion produce radioactive waste?
Yes, nuclear fusion produces some radioactive waste, but it is generally less than what is produced by nuclear fission.
Electricity is produced by using the heat produced by splitting radioactive atoms?
Nuclear Power
Are there any non examples of radioactive decay?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are processes that involve nuclear reactions but are not examples of radioactive decay. Chemical reactions, such as burning wood, do not involve nuclear processes and are also not examples of radioactive decay.
Why does nuclear chemistry happen?
The object of nuclear chemistry is the study of radioactive materials, nuclear wastes, chemical reactions in a nuclear reactor etc.
Is Zirconium not radioactive?
Zirconium does have radioactive isotopes, but the main ones used in industry are not radioactive.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
Is technetium active or inactive?
Technetium is considered to be an active element because it typically forms compounds and undergoes chemical reactions. It is a silvery-gray metal that is radioactive and does not occur naturally in the Earth's crust, making it an artificially produced element in nuclear reactors.
Are radioactive isotopes produced in a nuclear reactor?
Yes, radioactive isotopes are produced in a nuclear reactor through the process of nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei are split into smaller fragments. These fragments, some of which are unstable and radioactive, can be used for various purposes such as medical imaging, cancer treatment, and scientific research.
