The conversion of nuclear mass to energy is consistent with the mass-energy equivalence formula ÄE = Äm.c, in which ÄE = energy release, Äm = mass defect, and c = the speed of light in a vacuum (a physical constant).Nuclear energy is released by three exoenergetic (or exothermic) processes: Radioactive decay, where a neutron or proton in the radioactive nucleus decays spontaneously by emitting either particles, electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays), neutrinos (or all of them) Fusion, two atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus Fission, the breaking of an heavy nucleus into two (more rarely three) lighter nuclei This book presents the latest research in the field from around the globe.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886635331927,"sku":"9781604563658","price":149.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/nuclear-energy-research-progress-9781604563658","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
