What is the source of the large amount of energy evolved in nuclear fission?
It is basically the difference in energy between the original nucleus (u-235 or Pu-239) and the two smaller nuclei formed in the fission process. This arises because of the forces between the protons and neutrons, the strong nuclear force, and the electrostatic repulsion between protons. In effect the difference in mass is converted to energy.
Why moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor?
Moderator is not used in case of fast breeder reactor because there is no need to slow down neutron energy. Nuclear fission takes place at high energy of neutrons.
Which elements are used for nuclear reactors in India?
Uranium. There is some interest in using thorium in the future. Thorium cannot be used directly as fuel in a reactor as it does not fission, it requires a fast breeder reactor to convert it to Uranium-233 which does fission.
What forces has the greatest effect on the amount of energy that is released during nuclear fission reactions?
The amount of energy released during nuclear fission reactions is primarily determined by the mass difference between the initial nucleus and the fission products. This mass difference is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc^2). Additionally, the way in which the fission process is initiated and controlled can also impact the amount of energy released.
What are the difference between fission and nuclear?
That's like asking what is the difference between a potato and a plant. Nuclear fission is the splitting of atoms to release binding energy. Nuclear is the overall concept that structure and energy of the atom is contained within the nucleus.This answer assumes, by virtue of the category the question was placed in, that the intended topic is nuclear physics, and not biology, to which it could just have as easily been applied.
What is the same between nuclear and breeder reactors?
They all use nuclear fission
Difference between breeder reactors and nuclear reactors?
The nuclear reactor is different from the breeder reactor because it generates energy through fission. Historically, in order to be called a breeder, a reactor must be specifically designed to create more fissile material than it consumes. this is what I've looked up and been able to find
Does breeder reactor consists of fission reaction?
yes
What are the difference between atomic fission to atomic nuclear?
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What is the difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source?
Well, the difference is that when you get fusion it turns into fission. So really all your doing is using fissions. But, the difference to them is that when you use fission it produces a light that can be used. When you use fusion it can not be used as a light \, but just to make tatter tots. I like tatter tots do you?
What is the key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release?
The key difference between fission and fusion reactions in terms of energy release is that fission reactions involve the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion reactions involve the combining of light atomic nuclei, also releasing energy.
What is the key difference that allows us to distinguish between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
The key difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion is the process by which they release energy. Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, while nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus.
What is the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
What's the difference between nuclear fission and fusion?
Nuclear fission involves splitting atoms to release energy, while nuclear fusion involves combining atoms to release energy.
What is the difference between the use of fission as an energy source?
The difference between the use of fission and fusion as an energy source is that in fusion reaction, 2 or more light atomic nuclei fuses to form single heavier nucleus while in fission reaction, heavy atomic nucleus is usually splited into smaller nuclei, other particles and radiation.
What is the difference between fission and Plutonium waste?
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction: the nucleus of an atom is broken in two parts (and many other fragments).Plutonium wastes are wastes containing plutonium.
