Where is the source of nuclear energy found?
Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name 'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are easier to split than others typically. The most common element used in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in many world locations.
What is highly radioactive with nuclear energy?
Uranium to name one, Technetium Plutonium Californium. The higher the atomic mass generally the more unstable the atom is, starting after iron because iron is the most atomically sound atom.
Major drawback to the use of nuclear power?
A major drawback to the use of nuclear power is that it produces radioactive waste. This waste can pollute water sources and kill organisms.
An element that gives off nuclear radiation what?
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
What is the name of the process in which a nuclear fuel produces heat?
Nuclear fission
Is the book Fallout by Jim Lester related to the fallout game?
No. This book refers to "falling out" with family members, as in fighting with one another with consequences following the disagreement. "Fallout", as in the video game, is about a post-nuclear war wasteland, and gets its name from "fallout" which is radioactive dust that is scattered by the explosion of a nuclear device.
What was the name of the first nuclear explosion?
Trinity, July 16, 1945
Could nuclear winter stop another ice age?
No. A nuclear winter (by its name) is a cold period brought on by dust and debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun after a nuclear explosion. This lack of sun would cause the earth to cool dramatically depending on the size of the blast. If a nuclear winter occurred we would be heading into another ice age rather than away from it.
The first nuclear explosion in history had the code name of?
The test was codenamed Trinity, the device was codenamed Gadget.
What is smiling Buddha?
Smiling Buddha was the code name for the first nuclear test explosion done my the Indian army on May 18,1974.

Where was the site of the first atomic explosion?
The Trinity project was the code name of the nuclear test in 1945. It was created because of the Manhattan Project. It took place in the Jornada del Muerto desert.
What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
What was the name of the dust bowl book?
The book about the dust bowl is called Out Of The Dust.
What is the name of explosion stars?
SuperNova
Where do nuclear decay occur naturally?
Radioactive Decay occurs naturally all around us. If you test for radiation with a Geiger Counter, you will find that it picks up radiation in the air around you. Mostly, however, radioactive decay occurs in the earth's crust. I cannot name a specific element, as there are many that decay.
What is another name for the Dust Storms?
Dust Storms
