Korolek [52]1 year ago
3 0

Answer: the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).

Explanation:

The question requires us to choose, among the options given, which one best corresponds to the correct form of disposal fo high-level nuclear waste.

High-level nuclear waste corresponds mainly to highly radioactive materials produced as byproducts of reactions that occur inside nuclear reactors. When they are not of use anymore, they are disposed in underground repositories, without any recycling. The place of disposal of this type of nuclear waste is usually placed in cannister which are placed underground and sealed with rocks. Since the time of decay of high-level nuclear waste can reach hundreds of thousands of years, this type of waste must be disposed of in a way that provides adequate protection for a long time.

Considering the information above, we can say that the best option to answer the question is the second one (letter B).

Temka [501]
The independent variable would be the amount of sunlight because that is what you are testing and the dependent variable would be the length of time the mice slept because it is what you are measuring. The constants would be everything else water, food, cage size, exercise wheel, and temperature because they stay the same.

Write a transmutation nuclear equation that represents an example of fission
morpeh [17]

Answer:

²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He

Explanation:

Nuclei higher than Bi - 92 naturally are radioactive.

In a transmutation reaction, a new element is produced from an existing one due to radioactivity.

Nuclear fission is the radioactive process by which a heavy nucleus spontaneously decays into lighter ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

 One example is the transmutation of uranium into thorium;

         ²³⁸₉₂U →  ²³⁴₉₀Th  + ⁴₂He
