these elements are produced by nuclear fusion
1Nuclear fusion — Nuclear physics Radioactive decay Nuclear fission Nuclear fusion Classical dec …
2nuclear fusion — fusion (def. 4). [1895 1900] * * * Process by which nuclear reactions between light elements form heavier ones, releasing huge amounts of energy. In 1939 Hans Bethe suggested that the energy output of the sun and other stars is a result of fusion …
3Nuclear fission product — Nuclear fission products are the atomic fragments left after a large atomic nucleus fissions. Typically, a large nucleus like that of uranium fissions by splitting into two smaller nuclei, along with a few neutrons and a large release of energy… …
4Nuclear fission — For the generation of electrical power by fission, see Nuclear power. Splitting the atom redirects here. For the EP, see Splitting the Atom. Nuclear physics Radioactive decay Nuclear fission Nuclear fusio …
5Nuclear technology — A residential smoke detector is the most familiar piece of nuclear technology for some people Nuclear technology is technology that involves the reactions of atomic nuclei. Among the notable nuclear technologies are nuclear power, nuclear… …
6nuclear engineering — Introduction the field of engineering that deals with the control and use of energy and radiation released from nuclear reactions. It encompasses the development, design, and construction of power reactors, naval propulsion reactors,… …
7Nuclear isomer — A nuclear isomer is a metastable state of an atomic nucleus caused by the excitation of one or more of its nucleons (protons or neutrons). Metastable refers to the fact that these excited states have half lives more than 100 to 1000 times the… …
8Nuclear reprocessing — technology was developed to chemically separate and recover fissionable plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel.[1] Reprocessing serves multiple purposes, whose relative importance has changed over time. Originally reprocessing was used solely to… …
9Nuclear transmutation — is the conversion of one chemical element or isotope into another. In other words, atoms of one element can be changed into atoms of other element by transmutation . This occurs either through nuclear reactions (in which an outside particle… …
10Nuclear binding energy — is the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom into its component parts. The component parts are neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons. If the binding energy for the products is higher when light nuclei fuse, or when… …
