-

Match the type of nuclear radiation with its effect on the nucleus that is decaying. reduce the atomic number by two and the atomic weight by four - the original atom is now a different element increases the atomic number by one and does not change the atomic weight - the original atom is now a different element does not change the atomic number or weight - the original atom is now in a more stable but is otherwise unchanged Match the type of nuclear radiation to the particles that are produced. an electron two protons and two neutrons - a helium nucleus a very high energy bundle of electromagnetic energy Match each decaying nucleus with the result. 232th90 and a gamma photon 229Ra88 203Tl81 and a helium nucleus 224Rn86 and an alpha partcile 232pa91 and a beta partcile Match the nuclear reactor part with its function. Mechanism to convent left-over, low-pressure steam back into water, ready to be re-circulated through the reactor Structures to prevent radioactivity from escaping into the environment Typically Uranium 235 but could be other radioactive elements Mechanism to convert heat in the reactor to steam and then to motion of a turbine and then to electricity Mechanism for absorbing neutrons to slow the nuclear chain reaction or allow it to speed up Location of the radioactive material Graphite, water, or another material that slows neutrons without absorbing too many
