Fusion is the combination of two atomic nuclei into one, while fission is the separation of one nuclei into two. Nuclear power plants use fission, where a particle (neurton) is shot at an atomic nuclei to break it apart. In the breaking apart process some of the mass of the original atom is converted into energy (e=mc2). This energy (heat) is used to heat water, expanding into steam that turns a turbine.
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
Nuclear energy
this energy is the nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
The science is that of nuclear physics. By taking an unstable heavy substance, such as uranium or plutonium, and hitting it with neutrons, some of the material will break (fission) into lighter materials, releasing energy, and more neutrons, which in turn cause more material to fission. This is called a nuclear chain reaction.
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
Neclear fission
The energy released is nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
Nuclear fission.
Nuclear energy
No, nuclear fission is not reversible energy. It is irreversible process.
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
Not precisely. The current technology of nuclear energy gets energy from fission. Fission produces radiation, as well as energy.
