PPT-Some nuc . reactors Nuclear reaction by Fission

Nuclear fission All commercial power reactors are based on nuclear fission generally use  uranium  and its product  plutonium  as nuclear fuel though a thorium fuel cycle is also possible . 8.1 Nuclear Fission . - release of energy due to splitting of heavy elements into two parts. . (. atomic bomb . and . nuclear reactors. ). 8.2 Nuclear Fusion . - fusion of light nuclei into heavier with release of energy. The Nucleus. Protons – . 1.672 . × 10. 27. kg. Neutrons – 1.675 . × 10. 27. kg. isotopes. Strong Nuclear Force. Holds the protons and neutrons together.. Third Fundamental Force (after gravity and the electromagnetic forces). Dubna. , Russia.

Nuclear Reactors - 7/13/17 - ©The NEED Project . Nuclear Energy Production. Although the national percentage of nuclear generated electricity is about 19%, it varies from state to state.. Nuclear Fission. We convert mass into energy by breaking large atoms (usually Uranium) into smaller atoms. Note the increases in binding energy per nucleon.. A slow moving neutron induces fission in Uranium 235. Nuclear Reactions , Transmutations , Fission and Fusion Nuclear reactions The first induced nuclear reaction was accomplished by none other than Australian physicist Ernest Rutherford, the same guy Gamma radiation. In gamma radiation no particle is released, just a “packet” of energy.. Photon- “packet” of energy.. When an atom has too much energy, it is . excited. , it’s electrons are in higher energy levels.. 8.4.2 Distinguish between controlled nuclear and uncontrolled nuclear fission. . 8.4.3 Describe what is meant by fuel enrichment..
