    P2 7 Nuclear Physics

    Dr Barker

    Across
    1. charged atom.
    4. Reactions in which one reaction caused further reactions, which in turn causes
    further reactions, etc
    7. Every atom contains a positively charged nucleus consisting of neutrons and
    protons. This is where most of the mass is concentrated, and it is much smaller than
    the atom. Electrons move about in the space surrounding the nucleus.
    8. The number of protons in a nucleus, symbol Z (also called the proton number).
    10. Metal rods (made of boron or cadmium) used to absorb excess fission neutrons in
    a nuclear reactor so that only one fission neutron per fission on average goes on to
    produce further fission.
    11. Fluid in a sealed circuit pumped through the core of a nuclear reactor to remove
    thermal energy to a heat exchanger.
    12. Atoms of an element that contain different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
    13. Scattering of alpha particles (usually in a narrow beam) by nuclei of the atoms of
    a thin metal foil.
    14. The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom (symbol A).

    Down
    1. The process in which a large unstable nucleus becomes stable by emitting an alpha
    particle.
    2. The process in which small nuclei are forced together so they fuse with each other
    to form a larger nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
    3. A model of the atom which supposed that the positive charge was evenly spread
    throughout its matter and the negative charge was held in tiny particles
    (electrons)inside the atom.
    5. A reactor that releases energy as a result of nuclear fission inside it.
    6. The process in which certain nuclei (uranium 235 and plutonium 239) split into two
    fragments when struck by a neutron, releasing energy and two or three neutrons as a
    result.
    9. A solid or liquid used in a nuclear reactor to slow fission neutrons down so they can
    cause further fission.
