nuclear fission is where, i am going into a lot of detail here i found out in full extent a few days ago, you have U (uranium) 235 (isotope number) and it is floating around in the water around the reactor, the U235 now sucks up a thermal (same speed and temperature) neutron and Uranium explodes. Which releases 3 elements, heat, and 3 neutrons which all cause friction to heat up water. That water is usually 600ºF and is under about 2100lbs psi (pounds square inch) and that water heats up other water which turns turbines. It heats up other water so turbines and those items are not radioactive. Then that water is around 400ºF 900psi and is cooled off by other water under no pressure and that non-radioactive vapor forms clouds and stuff in the sky, the cooling tower near my house gives off 10,000 gallons of water a minute 80,000lbs. In the case of a "meltdown" the control room drops the control rods to suck up neutrons in water. If the Uranium is still causing heat they increase the boric acid % in the water. The acid sucks up neutrons right from uranium and gives no reaction. The tower, usually 2nd tallest on land, contains the reactor and normally can be hit by a Boeing 737 and only have a burn mark. 2.5ft concrete 3 inch steel and some lead.
Hope this answers your question =) I have more info about the Uranium and other things not mentioned.
What else can I help you with?
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
What do you mean by Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is the basis for 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 is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the synonyme of nuclear fissure?
The synonym for nuclear fissure is nuclear division or nuclear cleavage.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Division of nuclear material is called?
Nuclear fission refers to the process of dividing the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
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
What do you mean by Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
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).
How are they different from regular nuclear reactors?
Please elaborate on "they" as no comparison can be given otherwise. Do you mean?: "How is nuclear fusion different from regular nuclear reactors (nuclear fission?)"
