Can any one explain What's nuclear energy and Nuclear fission
Answers
Answer:
pls mark my answer the brainliest
Explanation:
Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-six nuclear reactors in 29 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels. These plants are always on: well-operated to avoid interruptions and built to withstand extreme weather, supporting the grid 24/7.
Nuclear fusion is a reaction through which two or more light nuclei collide into each other to form a heavier nucleus. This reaction takes place with elements which have a low atomic number, such as Hydrogen. It is the opposite of nuclear fission reaction in which heavy elements diffuse and form lighter elements. Both nuclear fusion and fission produce a massive amount of energy.
Answer:
nuclear energy:
the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
nuclear fission:
a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy.
