Nuclear fission differs importantly from other types of nuclear reactions, in that it can be amplified and sometimes controlled via a nuclear chain reaction.

Nuclear power plants operate by precisely controlling the rate at which nuclear reactions occur, and that control is maintained through the use of several redundant layers of safety measures.

** Nuclear reactions

Nuclear particles like protons and neutrons are not destroyed in fission and fusion processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions ( the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured ).

Nuclear reactions can create much higher temperatures than the temperatures the materials can withstand, meaning that much of the potential of the reactor for very high temperatures is sacrificed.

Nuclear reactions in stars and supernova explosions produce very large numbers of neutrinos, a very few of which may be detected by a neutrino telescope.

* Nuclear poison, an inhibitor of nuclear reactions

Nuclear power is any nuclear technology designed to extract usable energy from atomic nuclei via controlled nuclear reactions.

Nuclear reactions in stars and supernova explosions produce very large numbers of neutrinos, a very few of which may be detected by a neutrino telescope.

The Detector of Recoils And Gammas Of Nuclear Reactions ( DRAGON ) is an apparatus designed to measure the rates of nuclear reactions important in astrophysics, particularly nucleosynthesis reactions which occur in the explosives environments of nova, supernova, and x-ray bursters.

Nuclear technology is technology pertaining to the reactions of atomic nuclei.

Nuclear logs utilize nuclear reactions that take place in the downhole logging instrument or in the formation.

Nuclear fission reactors run on nuclear chain reactions, in which each nucleus that undergoes fission releases heat and neutrons.

Nuclear reactions cannot be realized by chemical reactions such as combustion.

CIDNP ( Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Polarization ), often pronounced like " kidnap ", is a non-Boltzmann nuclear spin state distribution produced in thermal or photochemical reactions, usually from colligation and diffusion, or disproportionation of radical pairs, and detected by NMR spectroscopy as enhanced absorption or emission signals.

Nuclear weapons are fearsome, but the long-range ballistic missile gives them a stealth and merciless swiftness which is much more terrifying.

The Armenian Government is working toward closing the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant as soon as alternative energy sources are identified.

Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award, the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.

Plans are in the reference Nuclear War Survival Skills by Cresson Kearny.

It recommends safety standards, but member states are not required to comply ; it promotes nuclear energy, but it also monitors nuclear use ; it is the sole global organization overseeing the nuclear energy industry, yet it is also weighed down by checking compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT ).

Signature and ratification of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT ) are not preconditions for membership in the IAEA.

Nuclear pre-mRNA introns ( spliceosomal introns ) are characterized by specific intron sequences located at the boundaries between introns and exons.

Nuclear pre-mRNA introns are often much longer than their surrounding exons.

Among the Laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission ( which includes the Curiosity rover ), the Cassini – Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory ( GRAIL ) mission to the Moon, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array ( NuSTAR ) X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Nuclear claims between the U. S. and the Marshall Islands are ongoing, and health effects from these nuclear tests linger.

Nuclear magnetic moments are important in other contexts, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ).

In December 2011, Fraser was highly critical of the Australian government's decision ( also supported by the Liberal Party Opposition ) to permit the export of uranium to India, relaxing the Fraser government's policy of banning sales of uranium to countries that are not signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Nuclear pores are large protein complexes that cross the nuclear envelope, which is the double membrane surrounding the eukaryotic cell nucleus.

Nuclear fissions in fissile fuels are the result of the nuclear excitation energy produced when a fissile nucleus captures a neutron.

Nuclear fission of heavy elements produces energy because the specific binding energy ( binding energy per mass ) of intermediate-mass nuclei with atomic numbers and atomic masses close to < sup > 62 </ sup > Ni and < sup > 56 </ sup > Fe is greater than the nucleon-specific binding energy of very heavy nuclei, so that energy is released when heavy nuclei are broken apart.

Nuclear weapons are designed to operate under this state.

Nuclear reactors generally have automatic and manual systems to shut the fission reaction down if unsafe conditions are detected.

The former include the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor ( ABWR ), two of which are now operating with others under construction, and the planned passively safe Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor ( ESBWR ) and AP1000 units ( see Nuclear Power 2010 Program ).

Nuclear disarmament refers to both the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-free world, in which nuclear weapons are completely eliminated.

Other opened issues are the implementation of the joint management of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, the financial compensation for the Croatian depositors who lost their savings in the liquidation of the Slovenian-based Yugoslav bank Ljubljanska banka.

Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) spectroscopy is a widely used resonance method and ultrafast laser methods are also now possible in the infrared and visible spectral regions.

Reactor compartments are sealed at both ends and shipped by barge and multiple-wheel high-capacity trailers to the Department of Energy's Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state, where they are currently in open dry storage and slated to be eventually buried.
