basics of nuclear chemistry

Hydrogen is not available as such. It does not occur in a free state in nature. The cheap production of hydrogen is a basic requirement of hydrogen economy. The source of hydrogen is water and using nuclear energy or solar energy might generate i..

Nuclear Reactors - An equipment in which the nuclear chain reaction is carried out in a controlled manner is called a nuclear reactor. The energy liberated in a controlled manner is used to produce steam, which can run turbines and produce electricity. In nuclearh..

Nuclear Fusion - The fission of heavy nuclei is accompanied by mass losses resulting in the liberation of large amounts of energy. Similarly, the fusion of light nuclei is accompanied by mass losses and the evolution of large quantities of energy. Nuclear fusion is a process in ..

Nuclear Fission - Two consequences of nuclear reactions are the phenomena of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Both are important sources of nuclear energy, which may be used for peaceful or destructive purposes. When a nucleus is bombarded with s..
