ATOMIC ENERGY

By. Sam Irish

Nuclear Radiation

High energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms; alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays are types of nuclear radiation

Isotopes

Atoms that have the same number of protons but have different numbers of nuetrons

Half-Life

The amount of time it takes for one-half of the nuclei of a radioactive isotope to decay

Beta Decay

The release of a beta particle from a nucleus

Radioactivity

Gamma Decay

The ability of some elements to give off nuclear radiation

The release of gamma rays from a nucleus

Nuclear Fission

Radioactive Decay

The process in which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy

The process in which the nucleus of a radioactive atom releases nuclear radiation

Mass Number

Nuclear Fusion

The sum of the protons and nuetrons in an atom

Two or more nuclei with small masses join together, or fuse, to form a larger, more massive nucleus

Nuclear Chain Reaction

Alpha Decay

A continuous series of nuclear fission reactions .

The release of an alpha particle from the nucleus
