Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What else can I help you with?
Where is fission used by humans?
In nuclear reactors, there are over 400 operating power reactors world wide
Natural commutation is used in which kind of circuit?
phase controlled RECTIFIER circuit used Natural Commutation......
Why should gas metal arc welding oonly be used in climate controlled areas?
inert gas
Why Silicon Controlled Rectifier is called current controlled device?
Because it is controlled by the gate current
Nuclear fission does not create any waste materials?
Actually it does.
Mechanism and container for controlled fission is called?
The mechanism for controlled fission is nuclear reactors, which utilize a controlled chain reaction to generate heat. The container used to house this process is typically a reactor core, which contains the fuel, control rods, and coolant necessary for maintaining the fission reaction at a steady rate.
Can Nuclear fission be controlled?
Yes. Nuclear power plants and nuclear powered ships and submarines use controlled fission reactions.
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.
Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?
Yes, the chain reaction of nuclear fission can be controlled by using control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium that absorb neutrons, thus regulating the rate of fission. Additionally, cooling systems can also be used to control the temperature and prevent the reactor from overheating.
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
What is nuclear fission?
the splitting of a nucleus
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
Do nuclear plants use fission or fusion to create electricity?
Fission. We don't have the technology to fuse atoms in a controlled way yet.
How is fission inside a powerplant controlled?
Fission in a power plant is controlled by using control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium that absorb neutrons, slowing down or stopping the chain reaction. By adjusting the position of these control rods, operators can regulate the rate of fission, maintaining a stable and controlled nuclear reaction to generate heat for electricity production.
What are the destructive uses of nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission can be used in destructive ways, such as in atomic bombs where a chain reaction is initiated to cause a powerful explosion. Additionally, nuclear fission can be used in nuclear reactors to produce energy for electricity, but if not controlled properly, accidents like meltdowns can occur, leading to environmental and health hazards.
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reaction is?
The element most commonly used as a fuel in nuclear fission reactions is uranium-235. It is a naturally occurring isotope of uranium that can sustain a chain reaction under controlled conditions in nuclear reactors.
What deals with fission?
Fission refers to the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. In nuclear reactors, controlled fission reactions are used to generate heat for producing electricity.
