Nuclear power by country also called Nuclear energy

Nuclear power is a method for generating energy by harnessing the radioactivity of atoms. Nuclear fission occurs when any fissile material, such as uranium-235, an isotope of uranium, is concentrated

nuclear nucleus radioactivity

Nuclear fission also called Nuclear energy

the splitting of the nucleus of an atom into parts (lighter nuclei) often producing free neutrons and other smaller nuclei, which may eventually produce photons (in the form of gamma rays)

the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting ionizing particles and radiation

created by factobot on November 14, 2008
This decay, or loss of energy, results in an atom of one type, called the parent nuclide transforming to an atom of a different type, called the daughter nuclide

created by factobot on November 14, 2008
For example: a carbon-14 atom (the "parent") emits radiation and transforms to a nitrogen-14 atom (the "daughter")

created by factobot on November 14, 2008
This is a random process on the atomic level, in that it is impossible to predict when a given atom will decay, but given a large number of similar atoms, the decay rate, on average, is predictable

The SI unit of radioactive decay (the phenomenon of natural and artificial radioactivity) is the becquerel (Bq)
