peX` Athavan Balendran Mrs. Phillips Chemistry B4 23 March 2012 Radioisotopes Radioisotopes are considered as a double-edged sword. They can be the greatest innovation in science‚ or the cause of death. Radioisotopes are isotopes that are produced artificially or naturally through the process of synthesis and separation. These combinations of protons and neutrons are unstable and give off a radioactive wave. Radioisotopes can be used for many different functions such as an atomic bomb or to

Clean Energy is Possible First of all‚ energy comes from many sources like oil‚ coal‚ nuclear and wood. These four sources and others are dirty energy. There is clean energy like the solar‚ wind‚ water‚ and kinetic energy. Both of them cause bad or good problems I agree with writer with some points and I disagree with hem on other points. First I agree with him with the point the one that he talks about burning wood and coal causes a lot of pollution in the atmosphere also burning oil is dirty

IMPERATIVES AND BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY 1. INTRODUCTION Only 30 years ago‚ nuclear energy was an exotic‚ futuristic technology‚ and the subject of experimentation. Today‚ nuclear energy is America’s second largest source of electric power after coal; more than 110 nuclear energy plants supply more electricity than oil‚ natural gas or hydropower taken together. Nuclear energy is a clean‚ safe‚ reliable and competitive energy source. It is the only source of energy that can replace a significant

Year/Course: I – BSBA Date: August 31‚ 2011 Chapter I Nuclear Power Plant Introduction: Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Nuclear power plants provide about 6% of the world’s energy and 13–14% of the world’s electricity‚ with the U.S.‚ France‚ and Japan together accounting for about 50% of nuclear generated electricity. In 2007‚ the IAEA reported there were 439 nuclear power reactors in operation in the world‚ operating in 31 countries

Nuclear technology has been developing rapidly over the years since 1954‚ when the world’s first entirely functional nuclear power plant was built in Obninsk‚ Moscow. It has since‚ become an integral part of human life‚ existing in everyday applications like smoke detectors‚ deadly weaponry and an alternative source of renewable energy. The development of nuclear technology is considered as one of the most important‚ and significant scientific progresses made to date. However‚ many people around

I know many people‚ if they could get almost infinite energy for almost nothing‚ they would probably do it. But Nuclear Fusion‚ unlike its cousin‚ Nuclear Fission‚ is quite difficult to achieve. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting large atoms‚ usually Uranium 235‚ to produce massive amounts of energy. The process enacted within all nuclear power plants is Nuclear Fission. Nuclear Fusion‚ on the other hand‚ is the exact opposite; Taking small atoms such as Hydrogen and pushing them together

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
