The Physics

Nuclear reactions are one of the magical areas that is applicable to both Physicists, Chemists, and Mad Scientists of any calling.

Physics can describe kinds of radiation. According to University Physics with Modern Physics, there are three primary varieties of radiation. The first is alpha decay, which is the release of a He-4 nucleus. Second is beta decay, which releases a anti-neutrino and a electron, a neutrino and a positron, or a neutrino with an electron being absorbed.

Energy can be released through fission and fusion. The reactors mentioned on this website use fission. Physics can also measure the strength of these reactions.

Physics can also deal with applications of nuclear materials, from creating a power plant to designing sensitive medical or scientific equipment.
