How are nuclear fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Think of a nuclear power station as a slowed down nuclear bomb. The heat energy released in the fission process is used to turn water into steam to drive electric turbine generators.
What is the difference in a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear power plant uses a slow, controlled nuclear chain reaction to heat water and generate electricity. A nuclear bomb uses a very rapid uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in order to generate a massive explosion.
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
How much heat would a nuclear bomb produce?
it is impossible to tell because the force would destroy anyything, including a thermometer!
How does a neutron bomb explode?
A neutron bomb is a form of nuclear weapon. It explodes in several steps. In the first step, control circuits fire electronic blasting caps cause conventional explosives to detonate. They are shaped in such as way that the explosion crushes a ball of nuclear material (mainly plutonium) causing that to produce nuclear fission (an atomic explosion). THAT serves as the trigger to a nuclear fusion explosion- (similar to the hydrogen bomb). This releases heat, blast, and neutrons.

Are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission opposites?
Sort of. Nuclear fusion is when two atoms are fused together to make another one, while nuclear fission is when one atom is split into two atoms. Both processes, however, involve a loss of mass representing the binding energy that was released. This binding energy is manifest as heat. It just happens that the amount of loss is far greater in fusion than in fission. That's why the H-Bomb (a fusion device) is so much more powerful than the A-Bomb (a fission device).
In Fahrenheit and Celsius How much heat is produced by a 5Mt nuclear bomb?
Fahrenheit and Celsius are not used to describe quantities of heat. They're used to describe how deep an object is filled with heat. If the object is one that can't hold much heat ... like a stone or 1/2 ounce of water ... then even a little bit of heat can fill it deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. If it's an object that can hold a lot of heat ... like a swimming pool ... then even if you pour heat into it for an hour, the heat in it won't get very deep in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The amount of heat you pour into the object is described in units of energy, like joules, watt-seconds, or foot-pounds, because, after all, heat is energy. The amount of energy produced by a 5 Mt nuclear bomb is a big number. So it's described as "the amount of energy released by exploding 5 million tons of TNT". That's what "5Mt" means.
The energy released from a nuclear power plant is released as?
From the nuclear reactor comes thermal energy (heat), which is then turned into electricity.
What major bombing did roaches survive?
It is a myth that roaches could survive a nuclear bomb. The heat would evaporate them.
How does nuclear fission generates energy?
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
What atomic bombs were made from Albert Einstein's E equals mc squared?
None. The amount of energy released by an atomic bomb is an infinitesimally small fraction of the amount given by that equation. The atomic bomb is based on chain reactions: fission driven by neutron chain reaction, fusion bomb driven by high heat & pressure.
What are the example of nuclear force?
The energy released when a nuclear power plant generates heat to generate steam to generate electricity. The energy released when a nuclear weapon detonates.
What makes up a nuclear bomb?
Depends on the type of bomb. The first nuclear weapons were fission weapons- they used a heavy metal such as Uranium or Plutonium. These metals, when compressed by explosives, would undergo nuclear fission, and break into lighter elements, releasing heat and radiation. Later, larger bombs were fusion bombs. They used a fission bomb to start the nuclear reaction, but then used that energy to FUSE light elements, such as Deuterium and Tritium into heavier elements, releasing LARGE amounts of heat and radiation.
What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
Will roachs surive a nuclear bomb?
Not if they are close enough. While tough, they will NOT survive heat, blast, and high radiation levels.
