The correct answer is A. I just took the test.

"nuclear to thermal and radiant"

Trust me y'all, this is the correct answer. I thought it was C but it's actually A. :)

Answer:

A nuclear to thermal and radiant

Step-by-step explanation:

Nuclear fission is the disintegration of the force that holds the nucleus of the atom together, creating two different but lighter nuclei.

In nuclear fission, it seeks to break the force of attraction or nuclear force that joins the protons and neutrons that form the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons without electric charge are used against the nucleus of the atom to produce enough excitation energy to deform the nucleus into two halves.

The nuclei obtained from nuclear fission are different and lighter than the initial nucleus. The excess energy that emerges from nuclear fission is what is known as nuclear energy.

Nuclear fission produces energy in the form of heat and other radiations releasing (ie thermal and radiation in general), in turn, other neutrons. Each generated neutron collides with the other nuclei created, producing a chain reaction.

Nuclear fission can be used for power generation through a nuclear reactor. A nuclear reactor is a facility that generates self-sustained and controlled nuclear reactions, and uses the energy released from the fission of atoms.

For example, one of the first applications of nuclear fissions used uranium atoms to produce electricity.
