nucelar fission
what is nuclear fission
splitting up of large and unstabel nuceli into smaller nuclei
how do we get nucluer energy here on earth
the process of nucelur fission prodduce loads of energy ,this is how we get nucleur energy here on earth
2 ways nucleur fission can happen
1. spontaneous
2.by absorbing a nuetron
in a nucelur reaction we start with
large unstable nuclei which can be uranium 235
what do we do to our big unstabel nuclei- uranium 235
we fire a small moving neutron ,which will make it more unstable making it split into 2 other nuclei called daughter nuceli , which also produec 2 or 3 other nuetorns
these process of ceating more nuetron emit large amount eneryg in the form of _____
gamma radiation
what will the nuetron then do after
each nuetron will go on again to repeate the process with another uranium nucllie
nucleur fission result in _____ reaction
chain
what is chain reaction
when one reaction results in other reaction
what happens if we dont control the reaction
the whole system can go out of control and realease large amount of energy this is what happens in nucluer bomb
explain how the chain reaction works in this case
we fir ea nuetron to uranium makin it spli tinto 2 daughter nuclei and also releases 2 or 3 nuetron these then continue teh porcess with anothe unstabel uranium nuclei
what is a fuel elements
the rod typa thingy werefuel lik eiranium is kept
reactor core ????
the middle of reactor where all teh fuel and stuff kept in
what is moderator
these fuel element are emersed in moderater like water
what is teh objectiv of moderator
to slow down teh energy of nuetron
control rods????
absorb any excess neutrons, can be inserted if we neeed to increase teh speed of fisssion reaction and vice versa
