الانشطار النووي

المحتوى

• Fission
• Chain Reaction
• النواة الذرية

Description

Start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor! (Previously part of the Nuclear Physics simulation - now there are separate Alpha Decay and Nuclear Fission sims.)

أهداف التعلم

• Describe how a neutron can give energy to a nucleus and cause it to fission.
• Explain the byproducts of a fission event.
• Explain how a chain reaction works, and describe the requirements for a sustained chain reaction large enough to make a bomb.
• Explain how a nuclear reactor works and how control rods can be used to slow down the reaction.
