It is inherently dangerous to living beings because it generates a great amount of radioactivity. However it can be made safe by thorough design and engineering, and careful operation. The principle has to be to contain the radioactivity, and if this is done then it becomes safe.
What else can I help you with?
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
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 is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
What is the next step in a nuclear reactor after nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods?
After nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods in a nuclear reactor, the next step is to control the reaction by regulating the rate of fission through control rods. These control rods absorb neutrons to maintain a steady and safe level of nuclear chain reactions in the reactor core.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Is nuclear fission extremely safe?
Not at all.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
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).
What is the next step in a nuclear reactor after nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods?
After nuclear fission occurs in fuel rods in a nuclear reactor, the next step is to control the reaction by regulating the rate of fission through control rods. These control rods absorb neutrons to maintain a steady and safe level of nuclear chain reactions in the reactor core.
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
