Across
- 3. fission when atoms split into smaller atoms
- 8. life given amount of time for half of the sample to decay
- 9. crossroads study the effects of a nuclear blast on an armada of naval ships
- 10. positive charge(determines identity)
- 12. sickness combo of symptoms that occur following radioactive fallout
- 16. negative charge (little mass that orbits the nucleus)
- 17. decay converts a neutron to a proton
- 20. differs elements by the # of nuetrons
- 21. level nuclear waste highly radioactive and dangerous
- 22. rays High energy with no mass and no charge
- 23. bravo large amount of fallout in the form of coral dust
Down
- 1. chain reaction triggers fission in neighboring atoms
- 2. containment building was inadquete
- 4. level nuclear waste slightly radioactive
- 5. decay decreases the atomic # of atom by 2 and the atomic mass by 4
- 6. nuclear core becomes so hot it melts
- 7. any energy emitted from a source
- 11. mile island relief water valve stuck open. water escaped from the core
- 12. elements -Elements with atoms that can release their own energy.
- 13. radiation Any wavelength of frequency of energy that is able to remove electrons from other atoms
- 14. neutral (stabilizes the nucleus)
- 15. particles releases when the nucleus has too many nuetrons
- 18. particle releases when the nucleus has too few nuetrons
- 19. for peace shift from using nuclear power for destruction to seeing how to use it for peace
