NUCLEAR ENERGY

NUCLEAR ENERGY CAN BE

GENERATED BY TWO TYPES

NUCLEAR FISSION(TO SPLIT

UP)

NUCLEAR FUSION (TO

COMBINE)

NUCLEAR FISSION IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH A SINGLE NEUTRON

IS BOMBARDED IN HEAVY ATOMS SUCH AS URANIUM-235 (OR

PLUTONIUM-239 ) WHICH THEN FURTHER BREAKS DOWN INTO

LIGHTER ATOMS OF KRYPTON AND BARIUM RELEASING A LOT

ENERGY AND 3 NEUTRONS WHICH THEN FURTHER GET

BOMBARDED INTO ANOTHER THREE ATOMS OF URANIUM

U 235 + 1N BA 139 + KR 94 + 3 N + A LOT OF ENERGY

NUCLEAR FISSION PROCESS IS USED FOR

GENERATING ELECTRICITY IN NUCLEAR POWER

PLANTS

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

NUCLEAR BOMB

NUCLEAR BOMB IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF NUCLEAR

FISSION PROCESS IN WHICH ATOMS OF URANIUM 235 OR

PLUTONIUMN 239

IS ALLOWED TO GO OUT OF CONTROL TO PRODUCE A

ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY IN A SHORT TIME WHICH

CAUSES A LOT OF DESTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING

NUCLEAR FUSION

NUCLEAR FUSION IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH TWO NUCLEUS OF

LIGHT ELEMENTS(LIKE HYDROGEN) ARE COMBINED TOGETHER TO

FORM HEAVY NUCEI(LIKE HELIUM)

FOR NUCLEAR FUSION MILLIONS OF DEGREES OF

TEMPERATURE

AND MILLIONS OF PASCALS OF PRESSURE

H2+H2 He3+1N+A LOT OF ENERGY

NUCLEAR FUSION MUCH MORE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAN

NUCLEAR FUSION BUT IT IS NOT CONTROLLED YET

THEREFORE NOT USED TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY

HYDROGEN BOMB

THERMO NUCLEAR REACTION : FUSION REACTION TOOK PLACE AT

VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE (IT IS USED TO PRODUCE WEAPON OF

HEAVY DESTRUCTION CALLED HYDROGEN BOMB)

IT CONSISTS OF H2,H3,Li6 ELEMENTS

THE EXPLOSION OF HYDROGEN BOMB IS DONE WITH THE HELP

OF ATOM BOMB WHEN THE TEMPRATURE REACHES ABOUT 10^7

C THE FUSIONB OF DEUTRIUM AND TRITIUM TAKES PLACE
