⚛️Cross-section is the probability of neutron interaction with a nucleus.
🔗Fission reactions release energy by the breaking of heavy atomic nuclei.
⚙️Reactor control involves maintaining a self-sustaining nuclear reaction.
🔥Nuclear fuels, such as uranium and plutonium, undergo fission reactions to release energy.
🧪Binding energy is the energy that holds the nucleus together and is released in fission reactions.
What is the concept of cross-section in neutron interactions?
—Cross-section is the probability that a neutron will interact with a nucleus.
How does reactor control work?
—Reactor control involves maintaining a self-sustaining nuclear reaction by adjusting the reactivity.
What are nuclear fuels?
—Nuclear fuels, such as uranium and plutonium, are materials that undergo fission reactions to release energy.
What is binding energy?
—Binding energy is the energy that holds the nucleus together and is released in fission reactions.
What is the chart of the nucleid?
—The chart of the nucleid is a diagram that shows the number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
