Question

Formation of nuclear energy?

Answer 1

Hi Mate,

Nuclear Fusion

Deuterium and tritium, both heavy forms of hydrogen, are common candidates for nuclear fusion. To harness fusion power, a confined environment of over 100 million degrees Celsius has to be created. Scientists are working on this, with a prototype reactor targeted for 2030.

Nuclear Fission

Here, nuclear energy is released when a uranium nucleus is struck by a neutron. The uranium nucleus will break up (fission) and release two or three neutrons together with some energy.

Chain Reaction

The neutrons produced by fission may strike other uranium nuclei and produce more neutrons. This multiplication process, or chain reaction, happens in a split second and results in a release of a large amount of heat. The heat is used to generate electricity in a nuclear power plant.
