radioactive 💥🤯📻📻🤯🤯 Flashcards
(7 cards)
1
Q
Nuclear fission
A
SPLITTING a heavy nucleus into two lighter nuclei with the released of energy and more neutrons
2
Q
Isotopes used
A
Uranium/plutonium
3
Q
Occur
A
1-the uranium nucleus absorbs a neutron
2-split into two smaller nuclei
3-realsing energy and more neutrons
4-chain reaction
4
Q
Disadvantages
A
-mining and transportation release greenhouse gases
-major accidents like Japan and Ukraine
5
Q
Fusion
A
The combining of two lighter nuclei nuclei to form a heavy nucleus with the release of energy
6
Q
Advantages
A
Less radioactive waste compared to fission
Plentiful supply of raw materials(sea water-Deuterium)
7
Q
struggles
A
Very high temp
How to contain nuclei at high temp
