Question

Basic process of nuclear reactor fission

Answer 1

Answer:

When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.

Answer 2

$\huge\text{\underline{Answer}}$

$\sf{\underline{Nuclear Fission}}$

The Nuclear fission is the proces in which a heavier nuclei is break down in to two simpler nuclei along with release of tremendous amount of energy.

The nuclear reactor fission ocur in this process.

The fissionable elements like uranium and thorium is used as reactor fuel.

The fuel are subjected to the reactor core. In which it is strike by a thermal neutron.

The neutron strikes to the fuel material and the fission reaction started.

The fission reaction in nuclear reactor is controlled by absorbing extra neutron by elements like graphite and boron rod.

The energy released during nuclear fission is used to generate electricity.
