Nuclear Fusion and Fission

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

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 They could be described as “Big Bang” and “Bigger Bang”.

Outline Fission and fusion will be defined. Examples of fission and fusion will be discussed. Modern day applications of these reactions will be discussed. 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS2

Nuclear Reaction Occurs when a nucleus collides with another particle Example: uranium- 235 decays into barium and krypton 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS3 Total Energy released: Q= (m i – m f )c 2

Nuclear Fission Nucleus breaks down into many parts Releases kinetic energy Many isotopes decay through induced fission Number of protons and neutrons affects the amount of energy released 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS4 Fig. 1.

Chain Reactions Each fission reaction will cause other fission reactions to occur. Critical assembly: ensures that a reaction can sustain itself 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS5 The energy released during a chain reaction: E j = E 0 k j

Fission Reactor Uranium-235 is used as the fuel Control rods absorb neutrons Neutrons produced from each generation become slower 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS6

Nuclear Fusion Nuclei combine to form heaver nuclei Mass decreases Kinetic energy increases 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS8

Lawson Criterion For fusion to occur: High temperatures are necessary Reaction must be held: For a certain amount of time A certain density of ions 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS9

Fusion in Relation to Stars Carbon Cycle Uses carbon as a catalyst Results in helium Occurs when a star has a high temperature Stellar Collapse- Star collapses into a white dwarf Energy production from fusion no longer matches the gravitational attraction 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS11

Fusion Reactors Difficult to use as a power source Requires extreme conditions Ways to confine nuclei Magnetic confinement Inertial confinement 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS12

Conclusion Fission - nucleus breaking down into many parts. Fusion - nuclei combining to form heaver nuclei. Chain reaction - one reaction triggers many other reactions. Fission reactors are used to produce energy. Proton-proton cycle is composed of multiple fusion reactions. 12/02/2014LAD MODERN PHYSICS13
