2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is nuclear fission?
Think about how a big structure is divided into smaller parts.
What happens in nuclear fusion?
Consider how small things join to become something larger.
What process occurs during nuclear fission?
Remember the term 'fission' sounds like 'division'.
True or False: Nuclear fusion is used in nuclear weapons.
Think about how energy is released in weapons versus power plants.
Given that nuclear fission can release energy, calculate the energy output if 1 kg of Uranium-235 undergoes fission. The energy released per fission reaction is approximately 200 MeV.
Start with the number of atoms and consider how energy is released per reaction to find total energy.
Discuss the potential societal impacts of switching from nuclear fission to nuclear fusion as a primary energy source.
Consider environmental effects, energy security, and safety in your discussion.
