What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What is it called when neutrons released from a fission event cause other fission events in a continued self sustaining cascade?
A chain reaction
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
Which of the following is the name given to a situation in which one fission reaction innstigates exactly one more fission reaction?
A runaway chain reaction.It is called super criticality, with KEffective > 1.When one fission reaction instigates more than one or more fission reactions it is called a Chain Reaction.KEffective is the neutron multiplication factor which is an indication of whether a reaction is stable (=1), increasing (>1), or decreasing (
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.

An ongoing series of fission reactions is called a (n) .?
Fission and fusion reactions are chain reactions but in different ways. In fission reaction a heavy nuclei is bombarded with a slow moving neutron and this nuclei breaks to produce more such neurons along with generation of new elements. These slow moving neutrons are further used to carry out fission of more such nuclei. This is chain reaction. Fusion reaction are a different class of nuclear reaction in which small nuclei fuse together to produce bigger nuclei along with the generation of energy due to mass defect.. In fusion reaction lot of energy is produced and this energy is used to carry out further reaction. Thus both can be called series reaction.
When was fission reaction invented?
The first time a fission chain reaction was produced was in 1942
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.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
What is it called when neutrons released from a fission event cause other fission events in a continued self sustaining cascade?
A chain reaction
If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?
To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear fission
Is nuclear fission a chain reaction?
Not of itself, but it can be made to be.
Which describes what happens during a chain reaction?
Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.
What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission
