Nuclear Chemistry

Front 1

atomic bomb

Back 1

fission which uses U or Pu as the energy source.

Front 2

hydrogen bomb

Back 2

produces more energy per gram than a fission bomb and produces less fallout

Front 3

RAD

Back 3

radiation absorbed dose. a measure of the ionization caused by the substanse.

Front 4

Nuclear Reactor

Back 4

a device in which the controlled fission of radioactive wastes occurs.

Front 5

critical size of nuclear reactor

Back 5

minimum amount of material necessary to start a fission reaction

Front 6

control rod of nuclear reactor

Back 6

made of boron steel, used to stop neutrons

Front 7

moderator of nuclear reactor

Back 7

made of graphite, used to slow neutrons

Front 8

uses of isotopes know 4

Back 8

iodine-131 used for thyroid detection
ENERGY-fission now maybe fusion later
Mutations- a change in living things, may be good or bad
steriliziation of male insects- eggs will not hatch
