One of the most interesting phenomena in Nuclear Physics with far reaching consequences is nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is defined as the splitting of heavy nuclei to release energy. This aspect holds many opportunities and possibilities for our technologically advancing world. Fission Process (Theory) In the case of large atoms‚ such as Uranium‚ the impact of a particle on the nucleus loosens its binding force. The impact causes the nucleus to break apart into pieces‚ also known as fission

After a nuclear weapons kisses the ground‚ not only will the incineration of the terrain occur for miles; but also these radioactive particles will be scattered into the clouds (Effects of Nuclear Weapons). Humans who are exposed to outrages amounts of radioactivity usually will not survive very long after birth or after surviving the blast. As the nuclear warhead scourges

We have more than enough and aren’t allowed to use one in war without the complications of Nuclear Winter. Our country should reduce the amount of funding on nuclear weapons. However‚ in the one situation where we may need to incinerate a chemical war zone‚ a nuclear weapon is necessary. Nuclear weapons testing should be done on a much smaller scale on the

Nuclear Energy and the Environment In our society‚ nuclear energy has become one of the most criticized forms of energy by the environmentalists. Thus‚ a look at nuclear energy and the environment and its impact on economic growth. Lewis Munford‚ an analyst‚ once wrote‚ "Too much energy is as fatal as too little‚ hence the regulation of energy input and output not its unlimited expansion‚ is in fact one of the main laws of life." This is true when dealing with nuclear power. Because
