The nucleus becomes a different element

The atom fuses with another atom

What is the result of every uranium nucleus that splits apart in a nuclear fission reaction?

It releases neutrons that cause other uranium atoms to split apart

It absorbs neutrons from other reactions

It creates a stable new element

What can happen if nuclear chain reactions are not controlled?

They can last for several minutes

They can generate electricity without any risk

What is the purpose of moving the control rods deeper into the reactor core?

To increase the temperature of the reactor

To generate electricity directly

How is thermal energy transferred from the nuclear reactor to the water in the boiler?

Using electrical heating elements

What is the role of the turbine in a nuclear power plant?

To rotate and generate electricity

To absorb neutrons from the reactions

What is one advantage of nuclear power plants over fossil fuel power plants?

They don't release pollutants into the atmosphere

What is one of the disadvantages of using water as a coolant in nuclear reactors?

It can damage the environment when released into streams and rivers.

It can cause an increase in the efficiency of the reactor.

It can lead to the production of more nuclear fuel.

It can decrease the amount of radiation produced.

What can happen if a reactor overheats, as it did in Chernobyl, Ukraine in 1986?

The building can be partially destroyed and radioactive materials can escape.

The reactor can become more efficient and produce more energy.

The reactor can automatically shut down without any consequences.

The excess heat can be used to generate additional electricity.

What is a characteristic of low-level nuclear waste?

It is usually sealed in containers and buried deep in the ground.

It contains a large amount of radioactive material.

It is made by nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons programs.

It remains radioactive for tens of thousands of years.

What is a characteristic of high-level nuclear waste?

It remains radioactive for tens of thousands of years.

It is usually disposed of in shallow pools of water.

It contains a small amount of radioactive material.

It has short half-lives and decays quickly.

What can happen if a person is exposed to too much radiation?

They may have been exposed to radiation that was carried by winds.

They may develop superhuman abilities.

They may require less sleep than usual.

They may experience improved health and vitality.

What is fission as defined in the Mini Glossary?

When a small amount of mass energy is converted into a tremendous amount of thermal energy

A system that uses the energy from controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity

Any radioactive by-product that is created when radioactive materials are used

When atomic nuclei combine at very high temperatures resulting in a small amount of mass being converted into a large amount of thermal energy

What does the term "nuclear reactor" refer to according to the Mini Glossary?

A system that uses the energy from controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity
