1)Name the type of nuclear reaction by which the sun produces its energy. List two conditions that are present at the center of the sun responsible for this reaction.
2)Give two advantages of using nuclear energy
3)Differentiate between nuclear fission and fusion
4)Name the recent project in India related to nuclear energy which faced opposition from the local public over its implementation.why?
5)List any three hazards of nuclear waste. How does the disposal of nuclear waste pose a problem for plant and animal life?
Answers
Answer:
it is nuclear fusion and fission
Explanation:
this create much energy which is sufficient to produce current for a country
but more dangerous because recently 2 German nuclear generates were blasted
and they are constructed far from our houses
ANSWER 1:
Nuclear fusion reaction is responsible for sun's energy.It is a reaction in which two nuclei of hydrogen fuse together to form helium under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure to release tremendous amount of energy.
ANSWER 2 :
Advantages of Nuclear Energy
a) Relatively Low Costs. The initial construction costs of nuclear power plants are large.
b) Base Load Energy. Nuclear power plants provide a stable base load of energy.
ANSWER 3 :
Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.
ANSWER 4 :
Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (or Koodankulam NPP or KKNPP) is the largest nuclear power station in India, situated in Koodankulam in the Tirunelveli district of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Construction on the plant began on 31 March 2002, but faced several delays due to opposition from local fishermen. KKNPP is scheduled to have six VVER-1000 reactors built in collaboration with Atomstroyexport, the Russian state company and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), with an installed capacity of 6,000 MW of electricity.
The ground-breaking ceremony for construction of units 3 & 4 was performed on 17 February 2016. Due to operators and suppliers requirement to insure the next two units at ₹39,747 crore (US$5.57 billion), the cost of units 3 & 4 amounted to twice the cost of units 1 & 2.
ANSWER 5 :
Hazards of nuclear waste:-
1. Large amounts of energy that is produced in the reaction can lead to huge explosions causing harm to human life and property.
2. Radioactive particles are known to cause genetic abnormalities which can be passed on to next generations.
3. Radioactivity is also known to cause cancer.
Nuclear waste pose a problem for plant and animal life when disposed 'cause Nuclear Wastes can lead to the spread of Nuclear Radiations around the area where they are dumped and can even lead to the death of plants and animals of that particular area.
