Nuclear Technology and its Applications Quiz

Uranium is a common fuel in nuclear reactors due to its ability to undergo fission reactions.

Fission is the process of splitting atomic nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons.

Mobile phone communication is not a practical application of nuclear technology.

Radioactivity is the process where unstable atomic nuclei emit radiation.

The activity of a radioactive substance is measured in Becquerel (Bq).

Gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons and is a type of nuclear radiation.

The main function of a nuclear reactor control rod is to absorb neutrons and regulate the reaction rate.

The fusion reaction involves Hydrogen-2 combining with Hydrogen-3 to form Helium-4.

The sun is powered by nuclear fusion reactions, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium, releasing energy.

The process where neutrons trigger additional fission reactions is called a chain reaction.

A breeder reactor is designed to produce more energy than it consumes by creating additional fissile material.

The process where energy is released by combining atomic nuclei to form heavier ones is called fusion.
