CONTROLLED: EX: Nuclear Power Plant UNCONTROLLED: In reactor = meltdown! Ex: Atomic bomb!Ĩ Fusion Definition: a nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of two atoms fuse or COMBINE to form a larger nucleus. Requires high temp, stars, SUN -do this.ĭefinition: a nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus is split into two smaller parts producing energy. Tons of energy produced from a small mass Fusion- combining atomic nuclei.
Neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.įission- splitting of atomic nuclei. Nuclear fusionĥ The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by nuclear fission.
Which of the naturally occurring elements is used in nuclear fission? Why is nuclear fusion dangerous? Which nuclear reaction does the sun produce?Ĥ ANSWERS 1. You will work with your table partner and create a Venn Diagram of Fusion vs Fission Each person will make a copy for their notebooks You will need 4 items in each section You will have 20 min to complete
