What causes the thermal heat in a nuclear explosion?
The thermal heat in a nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from the fission or fusion reactions taking place. The intense heat is a result of the high temperatures reached during the explosion, which can be in the millions of degrees Celsius.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
Which energy transformation occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor, where the energy released from splitting atoms is transformed into heat energy. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity.
What energy transformations occur in a nuclear explosion?
In a nuclear explosion, nuclear potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy. The fission or fusion of atomic nuclei releases a massive amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This energy causes intense pressure waves and heat that result in the explosive force of the nuclear blast.
Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear energy is produced in the core of a nuclear reactor, where controlled nuclear fission reactions occur. These reactions release heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.

How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself

Is the core as hot as the sun?
no, the core is were the nuclear reaction happens, this causes lots of heat and therfore, the core is hotter. :)
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
Which element in the core of a high mass star leads ultimately to a supernova explosion?
The Answer may be hydrogen. Hydrogen moves to the suns core as it starts to die, or explode. hydrogen is a very flammable gas. A star, like the sun is surrounded by heat. this heat will ignite the hydrogen gases as it moves to the core. This ignition of the hydrogen will cause the star to expand in size and increase in temperature.

Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
What are the forms of energy most commonly released when matter is converted into energy in a nuclear explosion?
Heat and Light
What part of the sun provides heat and light?
The core of the sun is responsible for generating the heat and light that we receive on Earth through nuclear fusion reactions.
