2. How is the age of an object containing a radioactive nuclide estimated?

3. How is the fission of a uranium-235 nucleus induced?

4. How does the fission of uranium-235 produce a chain reaction?

5. Describe the purposes of the five major components of a nuclear power plant.

6. Describe the reaction that produces the sun's energy.

7. What is one problem that must be overcome before energy-producing controlled fusion reactions are a reality?

Answer 1

1.) They count the number of incident alpha or beta particles.

2.) The amount of the nuclide present is determined and compared with a recent sample.

3) By a slow or thermal neutron.

4) 3 neutrons are released per fission, if they propagate, a chain is formed.

5) Depends on the components

6) Nuclear Fusion

7) The extreme energy must be controlled.
