- 14. A cylindrical device that contains nuclear fuel in a reactor
- 15. Coal with the highest energy per volume and the greatest concentration of carbon at 90%
- 16. an oil gas extraction method that uses high-pressure fluid to break rocks and leaves lots of chemicals behind
- 18. The emission of ionizing radiation
- 19. The time it takes for half the mass of a compound to be left
Down
- 1. A measurement for rate of decay
- 2. fuels from biomaterial that fossilized millions of years ago
