A) energy is obtained by a process called nuclear fission b) the nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons c) a chain reaction is set in the process d) in this process a tremendous amount of energy is released at a controlled rate

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is B option which is the nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons it's high in the option but the correct is low

Hope it helps u

Answer 2

Answer:

Statement that is not true about nuclear energy generation is Option B: the nucleus of uranium is bombarded with high energy neutrons.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is generated by splitting of uranium atoms. This process is called fission, as stated in Option A. It generates heat, by which steam is generated. This steam is used to generate power by using a turbine generator. The fission that is carried out by absorption of low energy neutron and not high energy neutrons as per Option B. So, Option B is not the correct statement. This low energy neutron is also called slow neutron.

The power plant has to be shut for around 2 years as the uranium fuel has to be removed.
