The Chernobyl disaster involved a nuclear fission reaction. Fission is the process of splitting atoms to release energy, which is the fundamental reaction in nuclear power plants like the one at Chernobyl. Fusion, on the other hand, involves joining atoms together to release energy and is the process that powers the sun.
What else can I help you with?
Can fission occur after fusion?
No, fission and fusion are two distinct nuclear reactions. Fusion involves the joining of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei. They are not directly connected processes, so fusion does not lead to fission.
Which process, fission or fusion, releases more energy?
Fusion releases more energy than fission.
Is fission and fusion opposite?
Fission and fusion are opposite nuclear processes. Fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter ones, releasing energy, while fusion involves combining lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy.
Does fission or fusion occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Does fusion or fission occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Was the Chernobyl meltdown from fusion or fission?
The reactor(s) at Chernobyl are fission reactors, and fission of fuel and fission products following the fire and the overheating of the core melted it down.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
I currently use nuclear fusion.
Can fission occur after fusion?
No, fission and fusion are two distinct nuclear reactions. Fusion involves the joining of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei. They are not directly connected processes, so fusion does not lead to fission.
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
Which process, fission or fusion, releases more energy?
Fusion releases more energy than fission.
Is fission and fusion opposite?
Fission and fusion are opposite nuclear processes. Fission involves splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter ones, releasing energy, while fusion involves combining lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy.
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What are the two basic types of nuclear weapon?
Fission and fusion. All fusion boms are trigered by a fission weapon.
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
