Nuclear Power
- Fission
- Nuclear power
- A heavy nuclei splits
spontaneously or on impact
with another particle
- Resulting in a release of
energy
- Resulting in a release of
energy
- In power stations
- Useful
- Produces a lot of energy
- Relatively easy to maintain
once the chain has began
- Produces a lot of energy
- Problems
- If the chain reaction
gets out of hand
things can turn bad
quickly
- Potentially causing nuclear devastation
- Hard to recover
from this state
- Potentially causing nuclear devastation

- Revision cards
- Nuclear power
- Fusion
- Natural power
- Occurs in suns and stars to
produce light and heat
- Complicated
- Overall hydrogen nuclei join to
form helium
- Hydrogen-1 fuses with
hydrogen-2 to make helium-3
- Hydrogen-1 fuses with
hydrogen-2 to make helium-3
- Overall hydrogen nuclei join to
form helium
- Occurs in suns and stars to

- Nuclear power
- Nuclear power in fusion is still in
development and very
experimental
- Nuclear power in fusion is still in
development and very
experimental
- Two atomic nuclei joining
to make a large nuclei
- This in turn releases energy
- This in turn releases energy
- Problems
- We have to energize and hold on to the hydrogen fuel
at temperatures over 150 million degrees Fahrenheit
