1. Abstract The earthquake which took place on March 11‚ 20111 in the Tohuku District‚ Japan triggered a massive tsunami which eventually caused a nuclear power plant outbreak. The tsunami‚ 14-metres in height struck the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant‚ which is located in the towns of Okuma and Futaba in the Fukushima Prefecture. This resulted in loss of power to the reactors of Units 1‚ 2 and 3.Along with this damage‚ the cooling system failed to work and there were hydrogen explosions which ended

Convection‚ and Radiation The three types of heat transfers are Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. For example hot objects that are in a room that is cooler than the temperature of the object will eventually cool to room temperature. First is conduction‚ conduction is heat transferring through direct contact of substances. Then convection‚ which is the transfer of heat by the movement of the warmed matter. Lastly radiation is electromagnetic

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

Lab Questions By Zackary Conte and Justin Dvorsak The first experiment with 1 M sucrose in the bag and distilled water in the beaker had almost exactly the same results. The masses were relatively the same the difference have could been from the amount of liquid that was placed inside of each of the bags. The second experiment with 5% Ovalbumin in the bag and 1 M sucrose in the beaker had almost exactly the same results. The masses were relatively the same the difference could have been from the

THE BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY The only clean‚ safe energy source capable of ensuring the continuation of our industrial civilization while protecting the environment. by Bruno Comby Introduction and conclusion (previous conclusion elevated to introduction) Nuclear energy is a clean‚ safe‚ reliable and competitive energy source. It is the only source of energy that can replace a significant part of the fossil fuels (coal‚ oil and gas) which massively pollute the atmosphere and contribute

The Modern Nuclear Family THE MODERN NUCLEAR FAMILY The "nuclear"‚ "isolated"‚ or "restricted" family is not a recent phenomenon‚ but has existed in many cultures throughout human history. Indeed‚ the extended family of several generations is found mostly in relatively advanced‚ stable‚ and affluent‚ but not yet industrialized societies. Very primitive and very sophisticated societies seem to prefer the nuclear family model. However‚ nuclear families can vary in the

Nuclear Power Assignment -Containment structure: This is usually a big concrete dome or structure that protects workers and the area around it from potentially dangerous radiation. The walls of the structure are metres thick of concrete to absorb the radiation. -Reactor: The reactor is the most important part of the process as it produces heat which forms steam to power the turbines therefore creating electricity. It uses uranium-235 or in some cases plutonium-239. -Control rods: Control

Nuclear Energy Overview: The Basics of Nuclear Energy — An Overview Nuclear power uses the energy created by controlled nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Fission Nuclear Fission Source: Atomicarchive.com at: http://www.atomicarchive.com/Fission/Fission1.shtml The most commonly used nuclear reaction for power generation is nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atom’s nucleus into parts (lighter nuclei that are different from the parent and neutrons) by capturing
