Difference between Nuclear propulsion and Radionuclide

Nuclear propulsion vs. Radionuclide

Nuclear propulsion includes a wide variety of propulsion methods that fulfill the promise of the Atomic Age by using some form of nuclear reaction as their primary power source. A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable.

Similarities between Nuclear propulsion and Radionuclide

Nuclear propulsion and Radionuclide have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acute radiation syndrome, Ionizing radiation, Lead, Nuclear fission, Nuclear reactor, Radioisotope thermoelectric generator, Radium, Thorium, Uranium-235.

Acute radiation syndrome

Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a collection of health effects that are present within 24 hours of exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

Lead

Lead is a chemical element with symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82.

Nuclear fission

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).

Nuclear reactor

A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.

Radioisotope thermoelectric generator

A Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG, RITEG) is an electrical generator that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect.
