Chemistry

6. any amount of energy emitted
8. part of a power plant, releases excess heat to cool down the reactor.
9. located in Japan,was too close to the ocean,Tsunami caused people to evacuate, leading to the reactor not getting cooled down.
10. nuclear core becomes so hot it melts, including the floor of vessel.
12. combination of symptoms that occur after a fallout
14. 3% of radioactive material, highly radioactive, EX: fuel rods
15. strips electrons from atoms, creating ions
17. one atom splitting into two
21. 30km(~20mi) radius around Chernobyl, unhabited by humanity
22. absorbs neutrons, raises and lowers reaction rate
23. high energy radioactive particles
24. trigger fission in neighboring atoms

1. radioactive material that is put into the atmosphere after a nuclear blast
2. an agreement of nations to not test nuclear, besides underground
3. adds a proton, gets rid of a electron and neutron
4. creates a helium atom from pre-existing atom
5. atoms joining together in a nuclear reaction
7. given amount of time needed for half of a radioactive atom to decy
10. liquid, useally water, that pumps heat away from the fuel rods
11. what was the cause of Three-mile island's partial meltdown?
13. the worst nuclear disaster as of today, located in Ukraine
16. two atoms joining together
18. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
19. an immensely powerful bomb whose destructive power comes from the rapid release of energy during the nuclear fusion of isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium), using an atom bomb as a trigger.
20. 90% of radioactive material level, slightly radioactive, EX: hazmat suits
