Probably Rutherford.
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
It was a 'panic' reaction - to a rumour that the USSR was working towards a nuclear weapon.
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
235 was used to produce one of the first atomic weapons. 238 is much harder to start a nuclear chain reaction than 235. 238 is used in nuclear weapons, but not as the first stage.
Nuclear grade resin has got higher capacity ,it produce high purity water,were as non nuclear grade resin produce purity water not high purity......
Nuclear fission
From the nuclear reaction of burning hydrogen!
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
nuclear fusion
It is true that nuclear reaction produce huge amounts of energy by transforming tiny amounts of matter.
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear reaction inside the Sun is fusing of Hydrogen to Helium and release out thermal energy.
All the nuclear fissions produce smaller elements from the larger element and few neutrons so that the fission reaction is continuously carried out.
A nuclear reactor contains a nuclear reaction, provides support for the control mechanisms for the reaction, and provides for the transfer of heat to machinery that will use it to produce electric power.
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
