Question

which of the following statement is not true about nuclear energy generation in nuclear reactor the energy Is obtained by a process called nuclear fusion is obtained by a process called nuclear fission be the nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons C a chain reaction is set In the process D in this process a trai in the process D in this process a tremendous amount of energy is released at a controlled rate

Answer 1

The nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons.

Option (b) is incorrect.

Explanation:

• The nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons.
• Nuclear energy generation means the production of energy by the break down of uranium atoms.
• This process is called nuclear fission.
• In nuclear fission, the heavy nucleus of uranium is subdivided into smaller units and produces large amount of heat energy.
• This heat energy is sued to run turbines and generators.
