PPT-Fission vs. Fusion Nuclear Fission

Large nuclei split into 2 smaller more stable nuclei Sometimes natural Most of the time extra energy is needed Usually neutrons are released Released neutrons may then hit other nuclei causing a . Uma Lad. PHY 3305: Modern Physics. December 2, 2014. Outline. . Fission and fusion will be defined. . Examples of fission and fusion will be discussed. . Modern day applications of these reactions will be discussed. . Nuclear power plant. 2. NUCLEAR FUEL. Nuclear . fuel is any material that can be consumed to derive nuclear energy. The most common type of nuclear fuel is fissile elements that can be made to undergo nuclear fission chain reactions in a nuclear reactor . Heavy Elements can reduce. energy (i.e. increase binding. energy per nucleon) by. splitting roughly in half.. U 235 fission fragment distribution. Excess Neutrons. 235. 92. U + n . →. . 86. 38. Douglas G. Thorpe. KYrocketman@gmail.com. . 02May 2017. These guys have been at it for 62 years; spent $29.1B (US only) and need another 20 years and $48 Billion more to achieve 500MW for 400 sec! . Atoms consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Chemistry is produced by interactions involving the electrons around the atom. t. his involves small energy changes (~0.01 eV) and can happen at room temperatures. Presentation by Claire, Elesha, Fatima, Juhee and Lala. Knowledge Framework vs. Knowledge Structure. . Knowledge Framework (KF). Knowledge Structure (KS). . Way to organize knowledge so students can learn the language: “to learn through language and to learn about language”. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/41267-powering-the-future-fusion-video.htm. 10 facts about NUCLEAR FUSION. 1. Nuclear Fusion is the joining of two atomic nuclei of smaller masses to form a single nucleus of larger mass.. Ian Gauld. Marco Pigni. Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division. May 2, 2013.

The Sun produces energy in this manner.. Hydrogen bombs use this process.. Much more energy per gram is released by fusion than is by fission.. Fusion reactions create no radioactive waste . Unfortunately it is much harder to start and control a self sustaining reaction..
