Nuclear Energy and Fuel
Nuclear Energy
- The energy released by the change in the nucleus of atoms is known as nuclear energy. The changes in the nucleus of atoms are normally caused by either nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. The technology that manipulates such changes in nucleus (nuclear reaction) of some specific elements and transform into energy is known as nuclear technology.
- In 1942, the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi first successfully produced the nuclear chain reaction.
Nuclear Reactor
- A nuclear reactor is a system used to initiate and contain a nuclear chain reaction, and they have many useful applications. These nuclear reactions produce thermal ....
