Does fission require many safety features making it expensive to build power plants?
This depends strongly on the reactor design (mostly the moderator material chosen) and the temperature coefficient of reactivity of the design (a positive coefficient is unsafe, a negative coefficient is safe).
Unfortunately most current reactor designs are not inherently safe and do need multiple expensive safety systems that could fail themselves. However many reactor designs that would be inherently safe and need only minimal additional safety systems have been examined, unfortunately almost no money has been made available for development of such reactors.

Why is Americium not suitable for making fission type nuclear bombs?
Americium is not suitable for making fission-type nuclear bombs because it is primarily an alpha emitter, which means it does not release enough neutrons to sustain a chain reaction necessary for a nuclear explosion. Additionally, it is difficult to obtain enough pure americium for bomb production, as it is a rare element that is not found in large quantities.
Who was the inventor of 1st atom bomb?
Leo Szilard invented the atomic fission bomb in 1933 while in London, and patented it in 1934. However no material that fissioned was known at the time, so the bomb was not possible to build at that time.Otto Frisch discovered fission of Uranium-235 in 1938 while in Berlin, making the atomic fission bomb possible. However Uranium-235 is only 0.72% of natural Uranium and purifying it is difficult and expensive, so an atomic fission bomb could not be built immediately.The US Manhattan Project built the expensive industrial infrastructure it purify Uranium-235 and manufacture Plutonium-239 between 1942 and 1945. Resulting in a usable atomic fission bomb by 1945.
Is an IT equipment lease a lot more expensive than buying the equipment for a small business?
Yes it does. IT leasing is more expensive because the equipment has less features, thus making it cheaper and a better bargain. Equipment has has its advantages.
What are some factors to consider when purchasing the most expensive strollers on the market?
When purchasing the most expensive strollers on the market, it is important to consider factors such as safety features, durability, comfort for the baby, ease of use, and additional features like adjustable handles and storage space. It is also important to research the brand reputation and read reviews from other parents to ensure you are making a wise investment.
Why is Unreal Engine so hell expensive?
Unreal Engine can be considered expensive due to its licensing model, which typically involves a 5% royalty on gross revenue for commercial products after a certain threshold. Additionally, it offers high-end features, advanced graphics capabilities, and extensive tools that require significant investment in development and support. The cost also reflects the ongoing updates, support, and comprehensive resources provided to developers, making it a powerful choice for professional game development.
What is the splitting of an atomic nucleus to form two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass?
Nuclear fission is the process by which an atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei of roughly equal mass. This process releases a large amount of energy, making it a key component in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is the process of making a Ferrari?
Similar to making most cars, but the parts are more expensive.
Are the more expensive car DVD players all that much better?
More expensive DVD players such as the Clarion VRX485VD 7 in. Touchscreen Motorized Car DVD Player offer higher quality LCD screens, and additional features, such as touch screen capability, making it quicker and easier to navigate menus.
Was plutonium used in nuclear weaponry?
Yes, plutonium IS used in nuclear weaponry it is one of the two fission fuels (the other is enriched uranium) that provide the energy for the explosion. Traditionally plutonium has been the prefered fission fuel, as it is less expensive to manufacture in quantity with nuclear reactors than is enriching uranium and also has a lower critical mass than enriched uranium. However because plutonium is manufactured in reactors it is "contaminated" with heavier plutonium isotopes that have high rates of spontaneous fission and are more radioactive, making it unsuitable for a few bomb designs for which enriched uranium must be used.
What is making a paint expensive?
rare ingredients or all natural
What is the main difference between breeder nuclear fission and convention nuclear fission?
Breeder nuclear fission produces more fissile material than it consumes, while conventional nuclear fission produces energy without producing additional fuel. Breeder reactors can create more fuel (like plutonium) for use in other reactors, making them potentially more efficient in terms of fuel usage.
