What is a radioactive decay of the spent fuel?
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
What is the source of the radioactive nuclei present in spent rods?
The nuclear fission process produces a range of lighter elements as fission products, and many of these are radioactive.
What kind of process is radioactive decay?
It is a nuclear process.
In a nuclear power station the process that produces heat is called?
Fission is the process that produces heat in a nuclear power station
Why wouldn't heating radioactive uranium make it decay faster?
The thermal energy is minimal compared to nuclear energy; and the radioactive decay is not a thermodynamic process - it is nuclear physics process.
What is the name of the process in which a nuclear fuel produces heat?
Nuclear fission
What happens if a nuclear reactor blows up?
A nuclear meltdown will be in process releasing radioactive material
Which process is not a common form of natural radioactive decay?
Nuclear fission
Are glow sticks radioactive?
No. They generate light by a process of chemical luminescence and contain no radioactive materials.
What is the process that produces coal deposits?
Nuclear fission
Does carbon dating use nuclear fusion?
No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.
What waste products come from power stations?
Radioactive waste is a waste product containing radioactive material. It is usually the product of a nuclear process such as nuclear fission, though industries not directly connected to the nuclear power industry may also produce radioactive waste.
