Study Guide for Nuclear I have prepared this study guide to help you learn the objectives. This guide breaks the objectives into smaller questions or tasks. Each task or question will be the subject of a series of questions on the exam. How does a nuclear reactor work? What are the differences between fission and fusion? Be able to write and balance the equations for: Alpha Decay Beta Decay Gama Radiation Discuss the differences in penetrating abilities of alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation.
