12 cards from this deck
Large unstable nucleus splits into two smaller pieces
Uranium-235 and plutonium
Becomes very unstable and splits into two smaller nuclei
Two smaller pieces created when nucleus splits in fission
2-3 new neutrons
Neutrons from one fission cause more fissions in nearby nuclei
Reaction accelerates rapidly, releasing huge energy quickly
Chain reaction managed to stay steady and not speed up
Special materials absorb neutrons to slow the reaction
One neutron from each fission causes another fission
Fission energy heats water to make steam
Steam turns turbines connected to generators
