Question

The energy created from nucllear fission can be harnessed and use in which of the following ways

Answer 1

The power that can be produced by water expanding into steam has been controlled and used for hundreds of years. In a nuclear reactor this reaction is caused by the heat generated in the process of nuclear fission. Enriched uranium gives off energy through nuclear fission. In a nuclear power plant this energy is controlled in a process that turns the heat generated by nuclear fission into electrical energy.

In the reactor core, the uranium is organized in bundles. Uranium pellets of the same length and diameter are arranged in rods, and these rods are gathered into bundles. The uranium bundles are placed in a container and submerged in water that acts as a coolant. The heat of the uranium bundles in the reactor core must be controlled to prevent overheating, which could cause the reactor to melt. Control rods in the uranium bundle are raised and lowered to control the core temperature as needed. The rods can also be lowered all the way down, to stop creating heat and to shut down the reactor in case of an emergency or to change the fuel.
