Each atom is pushing every other proton with about 20 N of force, that's about the force of a hand resting on someone's lap.]]> 2019-04-09 20:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350134032 Is This Energy Source Imported? group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350136907 Yes, the United States imports most of it uses as fuel. Owners and operators U.S. nuclear power reactors purchased the equivalent of 43 million pounds of uranium in 2017. About 7% of the uranium delivered to U.S. reactors in 2017 was produced in the United States and 93% came from other countries.]]> 2019-04-09 20:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350136907 Coulomb Force group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350138481 The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive.]]> 2019-04-09 21:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350138481 What Is The Source Of Energy In Nuclear Fission? group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350603720 Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei. This releases a great deal of energy. Nuclear power plants use the energy from nuclear fission to generate electricity. The substance used for nuclear fission is called uranium.]]> 2019-04-11 01:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350603720 How Is The Energy Converted Into Electricity? group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350604716 When the atom splits into two smaller nuclei it produces heat they use this heat to turn water into steam. They then use this steam to turn turbines connected to generators ]]> 2019-04-11 01:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350604716 What Types Of Pollution Are Created By Nuclear Fission? group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350607124 Carbon dioxide is not released from nuclear fission as it is by many fossil fuels. However nuclear fission does produce waste but the was is short lived and decays to background levels in a very short amount of time.]]> 2019-04-11 01:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350607124 Is It Readily Available At All Times? group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350607625 Due to the fact that the Uranium is mostly imported from other countries it is not readily for our country.]]> 2019-04-11 01:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350607625 Credits group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350610193 2019-04-11 01:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350610193 group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350610467 2019-04-11 01:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350610467 group3hankins https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350611752 2019-04-11 01:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/group3hankins/Nuclear_Fission/wish/350611752
