Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that involve the particles in the nucleus of an atom.

MEASURING RADIATION Large doses of radiation are harmful to living tissue. Radiation can be measured with a Geiger counter – a device that measures radioactivity.

Fission, the splitting of nuclei, and fusion, the combining of nuclei, release tremendous amounts of energy. Section 3: Nuclear Reactions K What I Know.

Fission and Fusion Nuclear power And you

YOU Have heard of nuclear reactions – but what are they???????????? Nuclear bombs Nuclear reactors The Sun

As you suspect: Nuclear reactions deal with the nucleus of the atom. Recall in our studies of radioactivity, that the nucleus of atoms can change Neutrons can change into protons Protons can change into neutrons α, β,, particles/radiation can be released!

Deal with more significant changes in the nucleus of the atom When these changes happen… VERY large amounts of energy are released ???? What kinds of reactions are you talking about here mister????? There are 2 types we will study here today. Nuclear Reactions

1. Fission Fission = break apart a nuclei into smaller nuclei

How do you do it?? Start with a very large nucleus (like that of Uranium – 235. Then smack it with a n O U + n O  U  Ba Kr + 3 n O Show fission video clip here…

The released neutrons go on to bombard other Uranium nuclei in the area. This results in a chain reaction The reaction is sustainable (critical) if the n O used to sustain reaction = n O produced ex: nuclear power plant No explosions here!

What if n O produced > than those needed to just sustain the reaction? Supercritical = when n O produced is great enough to sustain geometric progression. 1n O  3n O  9n O  27n O  …

Well just how much Energy is released? Show video clip Little boy, Nagasaki, nuclear bombs here

So where does all this energy come from??? Briefly – some mass from the atom is converted to Energy during this process – We will discuss this in more detail later The idea comes from this famous equation: E = mc 2

2. Fusion Fusion = 2 small nuclei fuse to make one larger nuclei.

The Sun H  4 2 α e + Energy Protons  alpha particle + positron Advantage: less waste, less dangerous than fission Disadvantage: requires very high temps. to get going

More bombs… H  4 2 He n + Energy High temps required to start process – use of small fission bomb to detonate fusion bomb!!!! Rocky Flats “triggers” Show Tsar bomb video here.
