Nuclear Fission and Fusion
Self-Assessment No. 5
1. From your understanding of nuclear fission, explain how an atomic bomb works.
2. Why do heavy elements such as uranium undergo fission while light elements such as
hydrogen and lithium undergo fusion?
3. What are the advantages of a fusion reactor over a fission reactor? What are the
practical difficulties in operating large-scale fusion reactor?
To be submitted in Google classroom on:
Describe briefly the process of nuclear fission, how it is initiated, how a chain reaction may be established, and the roles of the moderator and the control rods in a fission reactor.
