7 Radioactivity and Particles – Part C “Fission and Fusion”
Syllabus Aims…
7.17 know that nuclear reactions, including fission, fusion and radioactive decay, can be a source of energy
7.18 understand how a nucleus of U-235 can be split (the process of fission) by collision with a neutron, and that this process releases energy in the form of kinetic energy of the fission products
7.19 know that the fission of U-235 produces two daughter nuclei and a small number of neutrons
7.20 describe how a chain reaction can be set up if the neutrons produced by one fission strike other U-235 nuclei
7.21 describe the role played by the control rods and moderator in the fission process
7.22 understand the role of shielding around a nuclear reactor
7.23 explain the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission
7.24 describe nuclear fusion as the creation of larger nuclei resulting in a loss of mass from smaller nuclei, accompanied by a release of energy
7.25 know that fusion is the energy source for stars
7.26 explain why nuclear fusion does not happen at low temperatures and pressures, due to electrostatic repulsion of protons.
In nuclear fission, an unstable atom splits into two or more smaller pieces that are more stable, and releases energy in the process. ...The fission process also releases extra neutrons, which can then split additional atoms, resulting in a chain reaction that releases a lot of energy. There are also ways to modulate and soak up the neutrons.[+] Show More

Color footage of soldiers being exposed to high levels of radiation
Please like my video, it only takes a second. Visit my youtube channel at ...
Color footage of atomic bomb tests with active duty military personnel at Camp Desert ...Rock, Nevada Test Site, Nevada. Shows soldiers in foxholes as nuclear detonation occurs nearby; light and shockwaves; blowing dust; soldiers climbing out of foxholes and running towards mushroom cloud. Some of this footage is familiar by virtue of having been seen in the film Atomic Cafe. Many soldiers who were present were exposed to high levels of radiation.
