2. 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.
