P2 Topic 5: Nuclear Fission and nuclear fusion This topic looks at: Isotopes Ionising Radiation Nuclear Reactions – Fission and Fusion How nuclear reactors work Structure Ionising Strength Penetrating power What is an ion? What is ionising radiation? What is a radioactive substance? Put the following steps in the correct order to explain how a nuclear power station works: a. Reactor contains nuclear fuel rods b. Electricity is produced c.Turbine spins the generator Keywords: Ionising radiation, ion, radioactive, nuclear reactors, control rods d. This produces a lot of heat which boils water in nearby pipes. e. In the heat exchange water boils to form steam, it moves turbines f. Electricity sent to the National Grid Explain nuclear fission (use diagrams): Explain nuclear fusion (use diagrams): Keywords: alpha, beta, gamma, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion
