Question

URGENT!!!!!!!!Which reaction takes place in a nuclear fission reactor?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option d.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reaction is defined as the reaction in which 1 heavier nuclei splits into two or more smaller nuclei.

As, nuclear fission reactors require a large amount of energy to split the nucleus, hence it is bombarded with a particle in order to star the reaction.

In a nuclear reaction, a large fissile atomic nucleus like Uranium-235 $(_{92}^{235}\textrm{U})$ or Plutonium-239 $(_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu})$ when absorbs a neutron, it undergoes nuclear fission reaction.

Hence, in the given options, uranium-235 is absorbing a neutron. Therefore, the correct answer is Option d.
