Parent topics
- Nuclear fission [r]: A reaction by which a nucleus of a suitable isotope of an element with a high atomic number splits into two nuclei of lower atomic numbers and one or more neutrons and a relatively large release of energy per atom. [e]
- Nuclear reactor [r]: A unit or vessel, including associated equipment and material, in which nuclear reactions take place, generally controlled nuclear fission chain reactions. [e]
Subtopics
- Water [r]: A chemical compound with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms (H20). It is often in a liquid form and makes up the bulk of the oceans, lakes, rivers and living organisms. [e]
- Heavy water [r]: Water containing the isotope Deuterium rather than normal hydrogen [e]
- Graphite [r]: A naturally occurring allotrope of the element carbon. [e]
- Beryllium [r]: A chemical element, having the chemical symbol Be, and atomic number (the number of protons) 4. [e]
