Actually a nuclear reaction is when two or more nuclei collide.Originally posted by: splash
well actually if the N Jammer actually does prevent all nuclear reactions, then that would mean that there would be no such thing as radioactivity. Radioactivity is the tendency of the nucleus to break down and release high energy particles. The decomposition of the nucleus is actually a nuclear reaction. So if N Jammers work like they should then you cant really define radioactivity in that kind of an environment since it does not exist
Radioactivity is the transmission of energy (in the form of waves or partices) from one medium to another. The decomposition of a nucleus is just an unstable parent nucleus breaking down into a stable (or more stable) daughter nucleus.
