Learning Objectives By the end of this lesson you should... Describe the uses of different radioactive materials in the home and industry. Describe the characteristics of a sample which must be considered when choosing a radioactive sample for use. Explain how a nuclear power plant can harness the energy of nuclear fission. Nuclear Power Start with a fuel rod – made of uranium235 or polunium239. Allow a neutron to smash into one of the uranium atoms. This makes it unstable and it splits apart into two smaller atoms. As it does this it releases 2 more neutrons. Each of these can go on to cause a new fission event.
