Nuclear chain reactions within power plants do NOT produce bomb-like explosions primarily because the ________.
A)isotope of uranium used in power plants never undergoes fission
B)isotope of uranium used in power plants decays too quickly to be used for bombs
C)isotope of uranium used in power plants has a slower decay rate than the one used for bombs
D)density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The density of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is insufficient to become explosive, as power plants use low-enriched uranium, which is not capable of sustaining the rapid chain reaction needed for a bomb-like explosion.
