Give scientific reasons:
It is absolutely necessary to control the fission reaction in nuclear power plants.

उत्तर
- One kind of chain reaction is the nuclear fission reaction.
- Nuclear power plants closely regulate these reactions.
- Neutron production may increase uncontrollably if these reactions are not adequately regulated.
- In nuclear power plants, the fission reaction must be strictly controlled because each released neutron triggers the fission of three uranium (U-235) atoms. Uncontrolled reactions can result in dangerous accidents.

What are the advantages of nuclear energy?
The calorific value and ignition temperature of fuel A are 55 kJ/g and 80°C, respectively. These values for fuel B are 80 kJ/g and 10°C, respectively. On burning, the fuel A produces CO2 and H2O while the fuel B produces CO2 , CO and SO2. Give three points of relative and disadvantages of these two fuels.
