How does nuclear energy work? #physics #nuclear #chernobyl

[miniartstv]

For people who dont know: Nuclear energy is a form of energy produced by nuclear reactions. It is generated through a process called nuclear fission, which involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
The most common type of nuclear fission used for energy production is the fission of uranium-235 (U-235), a naturally occurring isotope of uranium. In a nuclear reactor, U-235 first enriched to increase their concentration, typically to around 5%. These enriched uranium fuel rods are then arranged in a lattice structure within the reactor core.
Once the reactor is operational, a controlled nuclear chain reaction is initiated by injecting a small amount of a neutron source, such as a neutron initiator, into the reactor core. The neutrons collide with the U-235 nuclei, causing them to split and release more neutrons and a large amount of energy in the form of heat.
The heat generated by the fission reactions is used to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator. The generator produces electricity, which can then be distributed to power homes, businesses, and industries.
The reactor is designed to control the chain reaction to ensure that the reaction remains stable and does not get out of control, leading to a nuclear explosion. This is achieved by using control rods made of a material that can absorb neutrons, which can be inserted or withdrawn from the reactor core to adjust the reaction rate.
Nuclear energy has several advantages, including its high energy density, low greenhouse gas emissions, and the potential for long-term sustainability. However, it also has its challenges, such as the risk of nuclear accidents, the need for safe and secure storage of nuclear waste, and the potential for nuclear proliferation.

Bro where do you edit your videos? Your videos are underrated⛈🗿

[BruhWhoCared]

im guessing that when the bomb touches the ground the force of gravity pulling the nuke down causing the neutron launcher to activate, and than that disrupts the atoms structure causing it to release nuclear energy shown in the video, the other ones start distrupting like a domino effect causing the whole thing to expplode

I wish my future teacher should explain nuclear chemistry by animations like you

[Thatguywhosnameyoudontremember]

Another fact, nuclear power plants can make nuclear material go critical but they cant create a nuclear explosion like a nuke can

The math and thinking that are behind this are unbelievable

See this is something that i can pay attention to unlike the lame science classes I learn in school

[bheadelarama]

Bro i know that there's a special type of black hole that is cool but scary there's a theory it may crash on earth and its name is primordial black holes these exist on start of the universe

Chicos el atomo no esi no se lo crean el atomo es donde el neutro tiene los N y P y tienen negativos y los negativos rebotan entre si

[N_ne_Bruh]

So bro just taught us about neclear bombs? Or is it something else
