Yes, by introducing a neutron absorber such as boron. In a nuclear reactor this is done by inserting the control rods

The energy from nuclear fission is released as heat?

Initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, but this is quickly converted to thermal energy as they are slowed down in the mass of the fuel.

Is the energy of nuclear fission released as heat?

Yes, as heat and radiation Nuclear fission actually releases first fission fragments and other particles with kinetic energy, which then turns to heat as the ejected fission fragments and part of the particles are slowed down within the mass of the solid fuel.


What is fission temperature?

Fission temperature refers to the temperature at which nuclear fission reactions can occur. For uranium-235, which is commonly used in nuclear reactors, the optimal fission temperature is around 572°F (300°C). Controlling the fission temperature is crucial for maintaining the stability and efficiency of a nuclear power plant.

nuclear fission


The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?

The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.


What is splitting of atomic nuclei?

Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.


What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?

Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.


What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?

It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.


Why is it called Nuclear Fission?

It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
