Q: A beam of nuclei is used for cancer therapy. Each nucleus has an energy of 183 MeV, and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of this type of radiation is 16. The beam is directed onto a 0.220-kg tumor, which receives a biologically equivalent dose of 153 rem.
Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through turbines.hen a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and free neutrons.
