Explanation

A smoke detector is a device that detects smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. In this device, one of the civilian applications of nuclear chemistry is seen. An ice breaker is a special purpose ship or boat designed to move and navigate through ice covered waters. Several technological advances were introduced into icebreaking technology over the years, but it was not until the introduction of nuclear power in the Soviet icebreaker Lenin in 1959 that icebreakers developed to their full potential.
