| liability for nuclear damages Subjection to a legal obligation, such as financial recompense or ecological reparations, for any harm or damage inflicted on persons, property or the environment during the production, use or transport of radioactive materials used as an energy source or in weaponry | atbildība par bojājumiem kodolstarojuma rezultātā |
| nuclear accident An event occurring in a nuclear power plant or anywhere that radioactive materials are used, stored, or transported and involving the release of potentially dangerous levels of radioactive materials into the environment | kodolavārija |
| nuclear debate The ongoing, public discussion and dispute over the uses of energy | debates par kodolenerģijas izmantošanu |
| nuclear energy Energy released by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion | kodolenerģija |
| nuclear energy legislation | kodolenerģijas tiesību akti |
| nuclear energy use Nuclear energy is employed in the industrial sector, in the production of other energy types, in the medical and scientific research field, in transportation, in the production of nuclear weapons, etc. | kodolenerģijas izmantošana |
| nuclear explosion accident, An unintentional release of energy from a rapid reaction of atomic nuclei yielding high temperatures and radiation potentially harmful to human health and the environment | kodolsprādziens (avārija) |
| nuclear facility A place, including buildings, where all the activities relating to nuclear research are performed | kodolkomplekss |
| nuclear fission The division of an atomic nucleus into parts of comparable mass; usually restricted to heavier nuclei such as isotopes of uranium, plutonium, and thorium | kodola skaldīšana |
| nuclear fuel Nuclear fuels are obtained from inorganic minerals extracted by mining. Although they are at least partially consumed when used in nuclear reactors for the production of heat, they differ from fossil fuels in the way they release energy. Burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, is a chemical reaction. Nuclear fuels, such as uranium, are destroyed by a process of spontaneous disintegration, called fission, and prompted by natural radioactivity. If the process is left to occur naturally in uranium-bearing rock, the rate of change is imperceptibly small. In a man-made nuclear reactor the energy-releasing processes of disintegration, which in the natural state happen slowly over thousands of millions of years, are compressed into minutes. The release of energy is harnessed to generate steam which drives electricity generators | kodoldegviela |
| nuclear fuel element A piece of nuclear fuel which has been formed and coated, and is ready to be placed in a reactor fuel assembly | kodoldegvielas elements |
| nuclear fusion Combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with release of some binding energy | kodolsintēze |
| nuclear hazard Risk or danger to human health or the environment posed by radiation emanating from the atomic nuclei of a given substance, or the possibility of an uncontrolled explosion originating from a fusion or fission reaction of atomic nuclei | kodolavārijas apdraudējums |
| nuclear physics The study of the characteristics, behaviour and internal structures of the atomic nucleus | kodolfizika |
| nuclear power plant A power plant in which nuclear energy is converted into heat for use in producing steam for turbines, which in turn drive generators that produce electric power | atomelektrostacija |
| nuclear power plant disposal | atomelektrostacijas novietojums |
| nuclear reaction A reaction involving a change in an atomic nucleus, such as fission, fusion, neutron capture, or radioactive decay, as distinct from a chemical reaction, which is limited to changes in the electron structure surrounding the nucleus | kodolreakcija |
| nuclear reactor Device which creates heat and energy by starting and controlling atomic fission | kodolreaktors |
| nuclear research centre A facility in which scientists and other researchers study the behavior and characteristics of atomic nuclei through testing and other forms of experimentation, often to invent new technology with scientific, medical and industrial purposes | kodolizpētes centrs |
| nuclear risk A risk connected to the functioning of nuclear power plants, by the storage or transportation of radioactive materials and involving the release of potentially dangerous levels of radioactive materials into the environment | kodolavārijas risks |
| nuclear safety Measures and techniques implemented to reduce the possibility of incidence and the potential harm posed by radioactive substances used as an energy source, a test material or in weaponry | kodoldrošība |
| nuclear test Test performed to evaluate nuclear weapons | kodolizmēģinājums |
| nuclear weapon Any bomb, warhead, or projectile using active nuclear material to cause a chain reaction upon detonation | kodolieroči |
