much more interesting way to resume knowledge 1h before test than by reading and repeating formulas. thanks for video!

Wow this really explains the fission process simply. I love science and learning about stuff like this but I hate it when people get technical. I am a visual learner so I learn best from animations and vids like this. Too bad my math skills are at a fourth grade level otherwise I would love to work in a nuclear power plant as an operator or get into prion research. Though I am in college I am majoring in graphic design.

Nuclear reactors DON'T use fussion, but fission. Fussion only happens in the sun, You fuse 2 elements to one, creating energy. Quick and simple tutorial/vid.

powerpoint presentation looking ahh video

I believe you are referring to fusion, not fission? Fission is how the atomic bomb and nuclear reactors work. It is fusion (the opposite of what is shown in this animation) that takes place in stars, and that scientists are currently working on generating more efficient power sources with.

"this helps a lot, but what happens on this video its supposed to happen even much much faster right?" It's quite inaccurate actually. The U-235 nucleus absorbs a neutron and becomes U-236*(star notes that it is excited). Think of it like flicking a water droplet. The excited U-236 nucleus is a rapidly spinning oblonge shape. 18% of the time U-236* will not undergo fission; it will emit a gamma ray and become U-236(ground state). The rest of the time the U-236* nucleus will split(unevenly).

Wow that is so much easier to understand than having someone tell me how it happens

Nice video comrade.

Nice Video! I love science! 5/5!

this helps a lot, but what happens on this video its supposed to happen even much much faster right?

BOOOM

This happenss consantly in stars but so far cant be done in a lab. They say in about 1 or 2 yrs it could be done and when it is done it will be used for new power sources and then we will enter a new renissance era like when the computer was invented or when the printing press was invented!

i finally understand now!

Fusion...

do you know what a nuclear bomb is buddy?

My Physics exam is tomorrow I really hope this helps :(

nuclear reactors use fusion

THIS IS B S!
