Question

i. Name the source of energy for nuclear power?


ii. What are the terms used to describe the splitting and fusing of the

atom?


iii.What type of energy conversion takes place in the nuclear power

plant?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium. Nuclear decay processes are used in niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators.
2. Simply put, fission is the division of one atom into two, and fusion is the combination of two lighter atoms into a larger one. They are opposing processes, and therefore very different. The word fission means "a splitting or breaking up into parts" (Merriam-Webster Online, www.m-w.com).
3. Three mutual conversions of energy forms occur at nuclear power plants: nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy, thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy.

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\red{Answer}}}}}$

1. Uranium or Plutonium is the source of Nuclear Power.
2. The splitting and fusion of the atom is called as Nuclear Fission.
3. Three mutual conversions of energy forms occur at nuclear power plants: nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy, thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy. This is how the most difficult conversion (nuclear into thermal energy) is carried out.
