What are the capital resources needed in nuclear fission?
urm well i dont no
Why dont we use nuclear fusion in nuclear power plants?
Because no one has been able to produce a continuous fusion reaction so far.
What are the improvements being made for using conventional sources of energy?
Well for nuclear energy they have two different types. Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fission, is the splitting of an atom to create heat which then goes into steam turbines that create electricity. Fusion, is much more safe because it does not have radiation. Fusion creates massive amounts of energy through combining the substances of Deuterium and Tritium. The energy created is more than any other light atomic nuclei in the world. I dont know 2 much about it. But it sounds promising and a good alternative to burning coal and gas.
The splitting of an atom nucleus into smaller nuclei is called?
Neclear fission
What type of energy comes from nuclear uranium atoms?
Uranium is an element, not energy. It can be converted into energy by nuclear fission.
What percentage of the world's electricity is supplied by nuclear fusion reactors?
I will give you 2 answers. First and most correctly, 0%. We have not found a way to initiate and control fusion energy in a way that is economically viable. The control part is key. An example of an uncontrolled nuclear fusion reation is the Hydrogen Bomb. Second the smart ass answr, since the sun supplies most of the energy to the earth, which plants used and had become oil, most of our energy comes from nuclear fusion. The first answer is correct though. Also it may be possible that you are mistaking nuclear fusion for fission, which delivers 11% of the world's energy needs
Why dont you use nuclear fusion power plants?
Because we do not have the technology to build them. It may be 50 years before we do.
Why do some people think nuclear fission is a desirable energy source?
it can give massive amout of energy for us also dont give out waster gases
The differences between nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs include what?
Nuclear reactors produce exactly one additional fission for each fission reaction while nuclear bombs don't Nuclear bombs are runaway fission reactions and reactors aren't (APEX)
What are the sun sources of energy?
we dont know all of them, but we know hydrogen and helium(which is far into the sun). eventually the sun will run out of fuel (we guess about 5 billion years) and either colapse on itself of super nova energy source: nuclear fusion of hyrogen and helium
How does the mass-energy equation relate to nuclear fission?
First, you ask your mom if she does not know ask your dad(if You are living with him) if he does not know as your gradparents then if they dont know Your WHOLE fanil is some DUMB Bi..ches
Can elements be changed into another substance?
Yes, its called transmutation. It is the process by which one element changes into another. This can only be done with a nuclear reaction, but alchemists once believed it might be possible, for example, to transmute lead into gold. They tried many bizarre things, but were never successful. Only nuclear reactions, such as fusion, fission, radioactive decay, etc, can induce a transmutation. Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
