Radioactive wastes, must for the protection of mankind be stored or disposed in such a manner that isolation from the biosphere is assured until they have decayed to innocuous levels. If this is not done, the world could face severe physical problems to living species living on this planet. Some atoms can disintegrate spontaneously. As …
Introduction Thirty years ago, energy in the nuclear form was futuristic and an exotic technology. It was the basic subject of all the experiments at the time and science considered it as fiction. Currently, however this source of energy is the second largest in America seconded by coal. Over one hundred and ten nuclear plants …
At present we rely on oil for most our energy needs. However, oil is a fosil fuel and causes air pollution, and it will eventually run out. Nuclear energy is the only practical and clean source of energy for the world. In what extend do you agree or disagree? Energy is the most important issue …
The future of the human race largely depends on the advancement in efficient, clean, high out-put energy production. As a civilization we need not focus on what the past has held for energy production but rather what the present and future hold for us. Two key options are the long lasting, high out-put but environmentally …
Nuclear Proliferation Affecting The World in a Negative Way For the past thirty years, Iran and North Korea have been trying to develop and design a nuclear warhead, nowadays; American spies say that Iran has built a Uranium enrichment plant on Qum. Uranium enrichment is the hardest step in order to produce nuclear weapon, and …
* Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy, as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence, a large amount of electricity can be generated. Presently, 12-18% of the world’s electricity is generated through nuclear energy. * The biggest advantage of nuclear energy is that there is no release of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, …
Do you believe that something small can power a country? A pound of Uranium has the capacity to produce the same amount of energy of 3 million pounds of fossil fuel. That’s how powerful nuclear energy is, generating so much from so little unlike our common source of energy today namely fossil fuel. That is …
