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.. 8.1 Nuclear Fission . - release of energy due to splitting of heavy elements into two parts. . (. atomic bomb . and . nuclear reactors. ). 8.2 Nuclear Fusion . - fusion of light nuclei into heavier with release of energy. Dubna. , Russia. Avazbek NASIROV. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Contents of talk. Short information about synthesis of superheavy elements . . in heavy ion collisions.. 2. Significance of nuclear reactions: . reactors. and Geometric Buckling. .

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). . http://science.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-power1.htm. 10 facts about NUCLEAR FISSION. 1. . Nuclear Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei of approximately equal mass. . 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 . Ian Gauld. Marco Pigni. Reactor and Nuclear Systems Division.

Gamma radiation. In gamma radiation no particle is released, just a “packet” of energy.. Photon- “packet” of energy.. When an atom has too much energy, it is . excited. , it’s electrons are in higher energy levels.. Enormous Energies. Nuclear Fission. Take a large atom and impact the nucleus with a particle. . Split the atom releasing high energy, more high energy neutrons, and two daughter nuclides.. Fission occurs only rarely in nature. Alpha decay is much more common..
