Is nuclear radiation a bad or a good thing?
Nuclear radiation is neither good nor bad, it is a natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena cannot be good or bad (this is an ethical/moral judgement), they are simply facts.
Are the butterfly effect a Christian band?
No they are not. But they are a bloody good band.
What are ome of the good things about the nuclear plant like in Chernobyl?
Nuclear power plants produce large amounts of energy which are generally better then using fossil fuels. The downside, in case you wanted to know, is the waste product is nuclear waste which is highly radioactive, and can give you radiation sickness, or cancer. The waste takes approx. 100,000 years to stabilize.
What is musical effect in music?
a good effect ? no or yes i say and its yes especially lady gaga music is good and kesha and david guetta an black eyed peas and shakira and beyonce and Florida and loada of other who i can't write otherwise i fill the page!
What is a good sicence fair project dealing with music?
How the music beats effect the sound and sound waves.
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.
Why is fusion important?
Because it may hold the key to a sustainable and highly powerful energy source and is capable of being a very powerful nuclear weapon. Scientifically, fusion is important as it is the reason that all the elements were created and is the power source behind the sun and all other stars.
What is nuclear weapon with explain?
A nuclear weapon is any explosive weapon that gets its destructive force from atomic nuclei. There are two ways to do this: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fission is the easier to achieve, it takes large already unstable atoms and splits them into smaller atoms with a fast neutron chain reaction. Fusion is harder to achieve, it requires heating and compressing small atoms forcing them to join into larger atoms.Few modern nuclear weapons are pure fission or fusion designs. Early ones were all pure fission, but now they optimize the design for size, cost, mission, etc. by using various mixtures of fission and fusion in different places in the weapon.From your question I am not sure how much explanation you want, or if you are interested more in general operation, design, safety systems/testing, effects, or what specifically. An encyclopedia is a good source for many of these answers. However remember that many of the important details are classified Top Secret-Q Restricted Data.
Good way to use nuclear fission?
In nuclear reactors, to produce electricity
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.
Is atomic bomb and nuclear bomb the same?
No, I don't believe so anyway. You see, an Atomic Bomb has an explosion made of the ripping of atoms whereas a nuclear bomb is either a Fission or Fusion reaction(fission=the splitting of molecules/fusion=the joining of atoms to create molecules)Ex. The sun is a giant nuclear explosion/reaction when the atoms of Uranium molecules separate to make a fission reaction and those same atoms join with other atoms to make a fusion reaction and recreating molecules to procede to the fission stage where the process is redone again and again and... etc.Fun Fact: Only two atomic bombs have been dropped one on Hiroshima and one on Nagasaki No nuclear bombs have ever been dropped in war.-Zazzer acc;)The above is one of the most confused explanations/understandings I have ever seen. For one thing "ripping of atoms" is confused, it really is just a way of saying fission yet its use implies something different from and probably weaker than fission is happening. Molecules are not involved here either, only atomic nuclei (this is a serious confounding of chemical reactions and nuclear reactions, which happen in entirely different parts of atoms and involve about three orders of magnitude difference in energy). Another thing the reaction in the sun does not involve uranium, the sun (as any star) only operates on fusion and at its current stage of life can only fuse hydrogen into helium. There is no such thing as a fission-fusion... and repeat cycle in any star. No star can ever produce elements large enough and heavy enough to fission, only supernova explosions are powerful enough to do that. The two Fission bombs dropped on Japan in the war could equally validly be called Atomic bombs or Nuclear bombs.Atomic and Nuclear are basically interchangeable terms in this area. Both refer to energy obtained from the binding energy of atomic nuclei.There are two types of reactions involved:Fission - breaking of large heavy atomic nuclei into smaller lighter ones.Fusion - combining of small light atomic nuclei into larger heavier ones.From the 1945 Trinity test through 1951 all atomic/nuclear bombs were Fission bombs. After the 1952 Ivy Mike test, atomic/nuclear bombs could be Fusion bombs. However a Fusion bomb is very complex, needing at minimum:A Fission bomb trigger stage to generate x-rays to drive the implosion of the Fusion stage.A rod shaped Fission bomb "sparkplug" the length of the Fusion stage to ignite fusion at maximum compression of the Fusion stage.A cylindrical Fusion bomb stage.A cylindrical metal tamper around the bomb to hold it together for a few extra microseconds, to keep the reaction going and get a good yield. (Note: this tamper is usually made of depleted uranium because of its high density. however a depleted uranium tamper is able to absorb the high energy fusion neutrons and fission, making it responsible for about 90% of the yield and fallout of such bombs.)Therefor a typical Fusion bomb is really a fission-fission-fusion-fission bomb.Most modern Fusion bombs improve the efficiency of and miniaturize the fission trigger by using a hollow core deuterium/tritium gas fusion booster design. A Fusion bomb designed this way is really a fission/fusion-fission-fusion-fission bomb.All currently operating atomic/nuclear reactors are Fission reactors. Work has been going on since the early 1950s to make a Fusion reactor (as it should be cleaner and its fuel is more available), but none has reached "breakeven" (ability to generate enough energy to operate itself) let alone generate enough excess energy to operate as a powerplant.BTW, the "Fun Fact" is also completely false and confused. Many many atomic bombs have been dropped from airplanes or fired as missile warheads, beginning in 1945 and ending in either 1961 or 1962. The two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were thee only ones actually used in war.Please excuse my "micro-thesis" on the subject, but there were so many things needing correction and/or clarification.
What is the difference between fusion and fission atomic bombs?
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
Would it be a good idea to build a nuclear power reactor that utilized spontaneous fission?
maybe
What does a nuke look like?
Well, there are two types of Nuke, A bomb and a missile or commonly referred to as 'Nuclear Bomb' and 'Nuclear Warhead (or missile)'. It looks like a standard bomb in shape but not size. But there are two versions of Nuclear bomb, Fission and Fusion. The Fission one is more like a standard bomb but larger and the Fusion one looks like a Mini-Missile but is still dropped like a bomb. The Nuclear Warhead (or missile) looks like a missile obviously. The easiest way to answer this question is to look on Google Images and next time you wonder something like this, Please, Don't waste the good people's time to answer your stupidity and minor amount of common sense.
What are two reasons that people don't use nuclear fusion as a energy source?
One good reason-it has not been made to work yet! We do of course use solar energy which is produced by nuclear fusion
Why is it important to save nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy, (fission only, fusion does not work except in stars and hydrogen bombs), is only good for aircraft carriers, submarines and satellites that go away from the sun and can't use solar power. There are other forms of energy that are safer to use and don't have radioactive wastes that will last for thousands of years.
Can matter release energy in nuclear weapons?
That is exactly what happens:Each fission releases about 200 MeV of energy.Each fusion releases about 15 MeV of energy.However getting the reaction started and keeping the fuel together long enough (a few tens of microseconds) to get a good explosion is rather tricky.
