India go Nuclear Should India Go Nuclear for Energy Solution [pic] Nuclear power plants perhaps can provide solutions to India’s horrible power shortages and outages too. With the US assistance envisaged in recent Indo-US joint statement India plans to take its nuclear power generation capability closer to the goal of 20‚000 MW by 2020. The high cost of nuclear power may be one deterrent for its choice or preference. In 80s and 90s many nuclear power projects even in US got cancelled or deferred

How Nuclear Power Works The nuclear power plant stands on the border between humanity’s greatest hopes and its deepest fears for the future. On one hand‚ atomic energy offers a clean energy alternative that frees us from the shackles of fossil fuel dependence. On the other‚ it summons images of disaster: quake-ruptured Japanese power plants belching radioactive steam‚ the dead zone surrounding Chernobyl’s concrete sarcophagus. But what happens inside a nuclear power plant to bring such marvel

Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine has been around for ages‚ its discoveries has brought about different variations of treatments‚ those in which have helped millions combat diseases. It uses radiation to administer information about the functioning of a person’s organs or to treat diseases. It detects early signs in the tissue.

Baba Gyani Triviani said: "Good were the days when people played Duke Nukem‚ Now people just say Dude Nuke ’em" Nuclear energy has been a controversial topic and a topic of debate from ages ago. In this post‚ I would like to analyse this from a layman’s perspective. Countries are growing rapidly‚ both economically and by population. And a commodity that seems to be needed more than ever‚ and the need for which will continue to grow unabated is energy. Energy is needed to do anything - Whether

The nuclear bomb is dangerous and scary weapon that really should have never been thought of or invented. Nuclear bombs have been the focal point of every country’s scientists ever since World War II when the U.S. dropped them on Japan. Just seeing the death and destruction a nuclear bomb can cause to people and the environment just proves my point. Not one person should have the power to just be able to push a button and have the ability to tear another country to shreds. When the first bomb
