Which lists correctly orders nuclear reactions from most radioactive waste
generated to least waste generated within a given period of time?
OA. Nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, radioactive decay
OB. Radioactive decay, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion
OC. Nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, radioactive decay
OD. Radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission

Respuesta :

B. Radioactive decay, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion

Explanation:

Radioactive decay generates more radioactive wastes than nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

  • These processes are nuclear reactions that takes place in the nucleus of an atom.
  • In radioactive decay, an unstable nuclei splits spontaneously into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable release of energy.
  • The process is spontaneous and occurs freely on its own. The process continues until a nuclei becomes stable.
  • In nuclear fission heavier nuclides are broken down into smaller ones.
  • In nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
  • The wastes are low in fusion process.
