SO I need to make a model of how Nuclear Fission works.. send help pls

[inactive account]

It's for my geography project.

 

I need to model Nuclear Fission and I have no idea how

 

send help pls

Nuclear fission ? The hell how is that related to geography ? Dafuq is our education system doing ?

I HAVE NO IDEA

[Trik'Stari]

Perhaps it relates to the existence of "naturally occurring nuclear reactors".....those are a thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor

 

Just wikipedia it, then make something with paint.

 

Fissile material gives off neutrons, which collide with other atoms of fissile material, which give off more neutrons, and the process continues, this creates heat, which creates steam, and that steam turns turbines.

 

Want better help, @LukaP, the resident physicist.

Could be somthing on the effect nuclear fission has on the planet?????

This took me all of 5 minutes. You had better like it! It might not be what you're looking for, but I made it, and it's not going to waste

PM me if you want help, ive got the knowledge on it, so just ask

neutrons don't move

 

electrons are the only particles that are able to move.

 

also the project is for "energy conservation".

 

I need to make a model of how it works and I have no fucking clue how

Neutrons do can move, they decay quickly outside of a nucleus though.

Just model a fision reaction, the total "Energy" (Energy+Mass) in an isolated system will remain constant.

Wikipedia is your friend. Heres a nice model from it, It gets a lot more complicated when you introduce more elements (Parts of the model not the substances).

Yes they can move... that's how fission reactions can take place. Not for long though.

 

Can't help on that front though

since its for geography would you be looking at the natural nuclear fission like - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reactor

no not looking at natural.

 

We were given a list of different sources of power ex. hyrdo electric, bloom box, geothermal etc.

and some questions we're supposed to awnser

 

right now what we're supposed to do is plan what we're to do.

 

so I went with nuclear fission.

What are the questions? Someone might feel like helping.

sorta struggling to see how you make a connection between geography and nuclear fission though

It the culminated activity

 

worth 30% of my overall mark for the course

 

my "teacher" is really fucking terrible and I really hate him

what grade are you in?

 

It sounds like your doing a refined course in something like human  geography.

Also what are you seeking in terms of a model?

 

reaction sequence or something more along the lines of a behavior over time model showing the relationship between the human development and the need of power - with nuclear being one of the major player's
