| Terms for subject Environment (26921 entries) |
| Kernphysik | nuclear physics (The study of the characteristics, behaviour and internal structures of the atomic nucleus) | |
| Kernporenfilter | Nuclepore | |
| Kernreaktion | 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) | |
| Kernreaktor | nuclear reactor (Device which creates heat and energy by starting and controlling atomic fission) | |
| Kernschmelze | core meltdown (An accidental overheating of the part of the nuclear reactor where fission takes place, causing fuel elements and other parts of the reactor to melt, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences in which dangerous levels of radioactive materials would be released into the environment) | |
| Kernspaltung | 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) | |
| Kerntechnische Anlage | nuclear facility (A place, including buildings, where all the activities relating to nuclear research are performed) | |
| Kerntechnischer Unfall | nuclear accident | |
| kerntechnischer Unfall | nuclear accident | |
| Kerntechnischer Unfall | 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) | |
| Kernwaffen | nuclear weapon (Any bomb, warhead, or projectile using active nuclear material to cause a chain reaction upon detonation) | |
| Kernwaffenversuch | nuclear test (Test performed to evaluate nuclear weapons) | |
| Kerosin | kerosene (A thin oil distilled from petroleum or shale oil, used as a fuel for heating and cooking, in lamps, and as a denaturant for alcohol) | |
| Kessel | boiler (An enclosed vessel in which water is heated and circulated, either as hot water or as steam, for heating or power) | |
| Kessel-Luftfilter | drum-type air filter | |
| Kesselstaub | boiler dust | |
| Ketene | cetene | |
| Kettenräummaschine | chain-and-flight collecting mechanism | |
| Kfz-Abgas | motor vehicle exhaust gas (Gases vented to the atmosphere by internal-combustion-engine driven vehicles) | |
