Nuclear Power - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Nuclear Fission
    large radioactive element is split creating two smaller elements.
  2. Partial Meltdown
    when some, but not all, of the fuel rods melted before coolant was restored
  3. Turbine
    a device that harnesses the kinetic energy of some fluid - such as water, steam, or air
  4. Control Rods
    absorb neutrons to regulate the rate of the chain reaction so that the water does not overheat and destroy the reactor
  5. Nuclear reactor coollant
    coolant in a nuclear reactor used to remove heat from the nuclear reactor core
  6. Nuclear Meltdown
    A severe nuclear reactor accident that results in core damage from overheating
  7. Nuclear Fusion
    Type of nuclear reaction on the Sun
  8. Radiation
    Energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light
  9. Nuclear Fusion
    two smaller elements are combined, creating a larger element
  10. Electricity
    a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons
  11. Nuclear Energy
    a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons
  12. Subatomic Particles
    the pieces that make up an atom
  13. Chernobyl
    The reactor melted down during routine maintenance & Technicians did not properly use the control rods.
  14. Nuclear Core
    the portion of a nuclear reactor containing the nuclear fuel components where the nuclear reactions take place
  15. Alternative Energy
    energy that does not come from fossil fuels, and thus produces little to no greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide
  16. Atom
    A particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element
  17. Nuclear Fission
    type of nuclear reaction used in nuclear power plants
  18. Proton
    Positively charged particle
  19. Radioactive Fallout
    radiation that landed on Earth from clouds carrying radiation
  20. Nuclear Waste
    All of the stuff left over when you’re done running the reactor or when you’re done using the fuel
  21. Isotope
    Forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons
  22. Neutron
    Particle with a neutral charge
  23. Electron
    Negatively charged particles
  24. Atomic nucleus
    the central region of an atom
