PPT-Nuclear Fission

bombs and nuclear power Nuclear fission the separating of a nucleus of an atom This is the process used by nuclear power stations when it is kept under control It is also the process of an atom bomb when it is allowed to run uncontrolled . Special Topic 2014. Exam Craft mock 2014. Define the term Nuclear Fusion:. It is the process the nucleus of an atom (uranium or plutonium) is bombarded with neutrons. This splits the nucleus (fission) realising large amounts of energy in the form of heat.. Detailed Study . 3.3. Chapter. 12.1: Splitting the atom – Nuclear Fission. Inside the Nucleus. Uranium, with 92 protons and 140 neutrons, is one of the largest atoms. Even though its nucleus is so large, around 100 000 000 000 of these nuclei would fit, lined up in 1 mm.. . Stations. . Nuclear power station. s. Introduction. . What’s in a Nucleus. The nucleus of an atom is made up of . protons. and neutrons. each is about 2000 times the mass of the electron, and thus constitutes the vast majority of the mass of a neutral atom (equal number of protons and electrons). at NPL.
