05 November 2013 Literature Review: Nuclear Chemistry and its Effects on the World In today’s society‚ nuclear chemistry is becoming more and more common and is being used in a variety of ways including for weapons and the medical field but the significance of this type of chemistry is its impact and what it has contributed to the world. Nuclear chemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with nuclear reactions‚ radioactive substances and is the study of the chemical and physical properties

Nuclear power‚ or nuclear energy‚ is the use of exothermic nuclear processes carried out in controlled manner‚ to generate useful heat and electricity. Nuclear power works by using the energy from nuclear fission or fusion to generate heat. At the moment‚ nuclear fusion is still a subject of intense research and not used in production which is a pity. Nuclear fission is basically what is happening in a reactor. Radioactive elements have unstable nuclei and they are constantly going through random

Research proves that the investment of the new Generation IV reactors

way to generate electricity‚ but expensive compared with other alternatives to oil‚ like nuclear power. No longer. In a “historic crossover‚” the costs of solar photovoltaic systems have declined to the point where they are lower than the rising projected costs of new nuclear plants‚ according to a paper published this month. “Solar photovoltaics have joined the ranks of lower-cost alternatives to new nuclear plants‚” John O. Blackburn‚ a professor of economics at Duke University‚ in North Carolina

India’s Nuclear Policy The relationship between International Nuclear Regimes and developing nations is a matter of passionate debate. Debate is in process on certain issues like nuclear policy‚ on grand strategies‚ on basic political values etc. It is a debate with implications for our individual and collective existence and raises fundamental question about political preferences‚ approaches and pathways ahead. The end of World War II and use of nuclear bomb presented US with new kind of

Nuclear World If a nuclear bomb was dropped on your city‚ how would you survive? The blast from the fission bomb on Hiroshima‚ which weighed 30 kilotons‚ was equivalent to 12‚500 tons of TNT. Now‚ if this was dropped right outside your house‚ there would be no way of survival. But‚ one megaton hydrogen bomb is said to have 80 times the explosive intensity of the fission bomb detonated in 1945. The destructive force of the hydrogen bomb is near unimaginable. But first‚ let’s take a

Fusion as a future energy source Creating Nuclear Fusion could be a break through in finding an alternative source of energy. As of today we do not have the technology to make a nuclear fusion reactor‚ but we could be relying on them for power sometime in the next 30 to 40 years. Nuclear Fusion is created by forcing deuterium (D) and tritium (T) together‚ when forced together their nuclei fuse and then break apart to form a helium nucleus and an uncharged neutron. Most of the excess energy

Nuclear Radiation There are many ways that the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" are similar. "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story that deals with nuclear radiation and what the future world would be like if there was an atomic bomb. This short story is a good example of what could happen in the future. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a movie that also has the same genre‚ that it is science fiction. It helps
