Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
What else can I help you with?
Do chain reaction takes place in nuclear reactor?
Yes, chain reactions take place in nuclear reactors. In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction involves the splitting of uranium atoms (fission) which releases energy and more neutrons, leading to further fission reactions. Control rods are used to regulate and maintain the chain reaction at a steady rate.
If heat must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is?
Endothermic reactions need heat. Exothermic reactions give off heat.
What is the amount of energy a reaction needs to take place?
The amount of energy needed for a reaction to take place is called the activation energy. It is the minimum amount of energy required for the reactants to transform into products. This energy is needed to break bonds in the reactant molecules before new bonds can be formed.
Will a reaction take place if Ca H2O?
Yes. The reaction would be Ca + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + H2. Hope that helped.
A single reaction where oxidation and reduction take place is called?
A redox reaction. This type of reaction involves the transfer of electrons from one reactant to another, resulting in oxidation and reduction of the reacting species.
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
The place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place is called a nuclear reactor. In a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms are split in a controlled manner to produce heat energy, which is used to generate electricity.
Do chain reaction takes place in nuclear reactor?
Yes, chain reactions take place in nuclear reactors. In a nuclear reactor, the chain reaction involves the splitting of uranium atoms (fission) which releases energy and more neutrons, leading to further fission reactions. Control rods are used to regulate and maintain the chain reaction at a steady rate.
What part of the nuclear powerplant does the chain reaction occur?
The chain reaction in a nuclear power plant occurs in the reactor core, where nuclear fission reactions take place. Heat generated from these reactions is used to produce steam, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.
What is the function of reflector and reactor core?
The reflector in a nuclear reactor helps to reflect neutrons back into the reactor core, increasing the chances of nuclear reactions occurring. The reactor core is where the nuclear reactions take place, generating heat that is used to produce electricity.
What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
The part of a nuclear reactor in which the fuel is located is called the?
The part of a nuclear reactor in which the fuel is located is called the core. This is where the nuclear fission reactions take place, producing heat that is used to generate electricity.
What kind of temperatures are requires for a nuclear fusion reaction to take place?
10,000,000 and up.
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
The center of the reactor where the fuel and control rods are located is called the?
The center of the reactor where the fuel and control rods are located is called the core. It is the central region where nuclear reactions take place and energy is generated.
How long does it take a nuclear reactor rod to cool down?
It can take anywhere from several years to several decades for a nuclear reactor rod to cool down to a level where it can be safely removed from the reactor core and stored. Cooling times vary depending on the type of reactor and the specific isotopes present in the fuel rod.
How can we make power on saturn?
The most practical way is to take a nuclear reactor with you when you go there.
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
