What was the truck carrying around in the video clip? What did the baddie (Baine) try and turn the nuclear fusion reactor into?
TITLE: Nuclear Fission vs Fusion Objectives (We are learning that): Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power stations Nuclear fusion takes place in the Sun KEY WORDS: Fission Fusion Reactor Chain Sun Temperature Neutron absorb Outcomes: You should be able to... Using the slides create a revision A3 poster to summarise nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Cut images and sentences from the PowerPoint to create it. Research images using the internet and watch video clips
P2 – Physics – Nuclear Fission Nuclear fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei and is used in nuclear reactors as a source of heat energy which can be transformed into electrical energy There are two fissionable substances in common use in nuclear reactors: Uranium 235 Plutonium 239 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D91T-B-PVE0
P2 – Physics - Nuclear fission More neutrons Neutron Uranium or plutonium nucleus Unstable nucleus New nuclei (e.g. barium and krypton)
P2 – Physics - Nuclear Fission - Chain reactions Each fission reaction releases neutrons that are used in further reactions.
P2 – Physics – Nuclear Fusion Nuclear fusion is the joining of two atomic nuclei to form a larger one Nuclear fusion is the process by which energy is released in stars Find an image to show nuclear fusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb8NX3HiS4U
