has promised to act quickly to address the buildup of huge quantities of contaminated water at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Abe‚ who recently suggested that the plant’s operator‚ Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco)‚ was incapable of overseeing the operation on its own‚ said the government would soon announce a comprehensive plan to deal with the world’s largest nuclear cleanup. The prospect of greater state involvement in decommissioning Fukushima Daiichi – the scene of a triple meltdown

„Nuclear power is the only way to ensure enough energy for the future“ The modern world is changing faster than at any time in history. Nuclear power is increasingly changing the future of energy is unlikely to receive otherwise. One answer - no. Will nuclear power is the only way to ensure enough energy for the future? That is the key question. Many people are pessimistic about the future of our planet. They believe that after few years of using nuclear energy from the earth is nothing left

Nuclear Chemistry Nuclear science is the study of sub-atomic particles and their function in various subjects. A nucleon is the collective name for the two components of the atomic nucleus: the neutron and the proton. Isotopes are any of the different forms of an element each having different mass numbers‚ which give the total number of nucleons. The major fundamentals of nuclear chemistry include radioactive decay‚ the nature of fission and fusion‚ and mass defect. The decomposition of the

Moreover Radars‚ spacecrafts‚ interstellar probes and other advanced communication devices require much larger power than that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few decades and can pack in energy densities thousands of time greater than conventional battery sources. Hence‚ there is an urgent need to harvest enormous amount of energy released naturally by the
