Nuclear power
Nuclear electricity - In nuclear electricity, the chain reaction of neutron bombardment (in uranium after fission) continues without control to produce the most energy possible at the moment.

Note: This energy is used in electricity production (in a nuclear power plant) or destruction (nuclear). The process of nuclear fission requires neutron bombardment to create nuclear fission; That is, to slow down the neutron whose speed is (almost) equal to the speed of light by methods such as using heavy or light water, so that the atom will disintegrate after the atom's nucleus becomes unstable.
Generating electricity with nuclear energy requires uranium enrichment. The working basis of nuclear power plants and steam power plants are almost the same. Reactors are used instead of boilers in nuclear power plants. In a nuclear power plant, the nucleus of the atom changes its nature and produces energy by itself. In the reactor, water is heated and steamed by the energy of nuclear reactions, and this steam drives the turbine and produces electricity. (In uranium, after the decomposition of barium and krypton elements, 2 or 3 neutrons are returned) when we plan to bombard uranium with neutrons to convert it into radium; which has achieved a much smaller atom. In all the known nuclear reactions; Only small particles are separated from the nucleus, but the product of this neutron bombardment is barium, and the mass of each uranium atom when it is converted into smaller particles is reduced to one-fifth of the mass of a proton, which after the impact of a neutron is converted into the uranium-236 isotope. It decays quickly and emits radioactive rays. Then, barium-141 and krypton-92 decays into lanthanum-141, and lanthanum-141 is divided into cerium-141 and praseodymium-141 and becomes stable, and krypton-92 decays into rubidium-92. And rubidium-92 reaches strontium-92 and strontium to yttrium-92 and yttrium to zirconium-92 and becomes stable.
At the same time, it releases 2.5 more neutrons, each of which causes the fission of another uranium nucleus, and this chain reaction continues regularly. In nuclear electricity, the chain reaction continues without control until the maximum possible energy in To be produced at the moment. During this chain reaction that occurs within a few millionths of seconds, the number of nuclear fission events increases rapidly. In nuclear reactors, the speed of neutrons is reduced by using retarders to control the chain reaction. Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy atom such as uranium is converted into two lighter atoms. When a nucleus with a high atomic number is split, based on this formula, some of its mass is converted into energy.
Conclusion :
This energy is used in the production of electricity (in a nuclear power plant) or destruction (nuclear). The process of nuclear fission requires neutron bombardment to create nuclear fission; That is, to slow down the neutron whose speed is (almost) equal to the speed of light by methods such as using heavy or light water, so that the atom will disintegrate after the atom's nucleus becomes unstable.
