Why does alpha decay have less energy than gamma decay? Why does the strong nuclear force exist? What causes gamma decay? Why does beta decay increase atomic number? What decays first during radioactive decay? What causes the strong nuclear force?
Which statement is true about nuclear fusion? (a) It is caused by the same process that causes nuclear fission (b) It does not occur naturally in the solar system (c) It has a very low activation energy (d) It produces nearly all the elements that are hea ...
a large fusion reactor that’s being built in southern France.It’s designed to create the first sustained nuclear fusion reaction, meaning the energy it will release is greater than the energy we’ll use to start it up. And I’ll get back to this point in a moment. But let’s back...
Stack gases release higher levels of radioactivity than nuclear plants during normal operation Many deaths incurred during the mining of coal Nuclear Fuel is inexpensive Energy generation is the most concentrated source Waste is more compact than any source Extensive scientific basis for the cycle Easy...
Nuclear power: good or bad? Nuclear energy to create power has been used for hundreds of years. Today nuclear energy powers almost 11% of the world. It produces nearly no greenhouse gases or co2 emissions. But it does leave behind nuclear waste that stays radioactive for decades. Nuclear en...
Yet a supply from nuclear fusion could provide massive amounts of energy from a very small footprint. With the E=mc2 formula revealing the possibilities of it, and our already understood knowledge of the scale of difference between energy production from nuclear fission shown in theatomic bombto...
In a first phase of this necessary global energy transformation, the emphasis should be on converting the major part of the world's electrical energy generation capacity from fossil fuels to nuclear fission. This can realistically be achieved within a few decades, as has already been done in Fra...
reaction, and the atomic bombs or nuclear power stations that people have created all use nuclear fission reaction, which is controllable and can releasehuge energy, and the nuclear fusion reaction, which is uncontrollable and can release more energy than that produced by the nuclear fission ...
Re:why does n/p ratio inrease? « Reply #8 on: August 05, 2005, 05:54:07 AM » Put aside all stability/unstability, binding energy per nucleon and similar problems. Look just for the quotient:n/pn is - at the moment of start - 146, p is 92when the alpha particle is emitte...
Why does helium, released into the atmosphere, eventually disappear into space? Why are heavy nuclei unstable? Why will the escape of neutrons be proportionally less in a large piece of fissionable material than in a smaller piece? Explain why the energy level of an atom become energy bands ...
