Smuggling of Nuclear Material Over the past five years the former states of the Soviet Union haven ’t been able to prevent the leakage of nuclear material. Nuclear materials and technologies are more accessible now than at any other time in history‚ due to the breakup of the Soviet Union and the worsening of economic conditions. No longer does the Soviet KGB‚ the Soviet military and the Soviet border guards have the control to stop the smuggling of nuclear material ’s. With the Cold War

Erickson Chemistry Honors Period: 1-2 Nuclear Power debate Nuclear power is extremely costly. Building or restarting the number of nuclear power plants would cost trillions of dollars. For example‚ there was an estimate created by the Florida Power and Light Company to create a new reactor plant with a price tag of $12- $18 billion dollars for a single project. This shock would be passed on to consumers already struggling in a weak economy. Nuclear Power will not decrease our reliance on Middle

Japan triggered a massive tsunami which eventually caused a nuclear power plant outbreak. The tsunami‚ 14-metres in height struck the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant‚ which is located in the towns of Okuma and Futaba in the Fukushima Prefecture. This resulted in loss of power to the reactors of Units 1‚ 2 and 3.Along with this damage‚ the cooling system failed to work and there were hydrogen explosions which ended in damaging the nuclear plant. The damages also include extensive release of radioactive

As one of President Barrack Obama ’s advisers‚ weighing the options for what to do about Iran possibly becoming a nuclear power has never been more important. Two main strategies are on the forefront‚ monitoring the situation like we have been doing or going ahead and bombing their nuclear sites and possibly their government officials. Both situations have ramifications to which could possibly be detrimental to our country‚ but the positive results

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

States must become cognizant that the use of nuclear energy is by far the most efficient policy regarding the creation of power despite the possible risks. This is the belief of William Tucker‚ the author of the New York Times published article‚ “Why I Still Support Nuclear Power‚ Even after Fukushima”. Although the production of nuclear power brings about possible risks‚ Tucker believes that the concerns regarding the creation of nuclear energy proves idle compared to the risks of

A nuclear explosion is caused by the release of energy in an atom‚ either through fission or fusion. Fission weapons cause an explosion by the splitting of atomic nuclei. This happens when a neutron collides with the nucleus of an atom. The protons in the nucleus are transformed into a great amount of energy and two or three more neutrons are sent out‚ which go on to split other nuclei. If this continues‚ a chain reaction will occur. The result is a gigantic explosion. To form a chain reaction‚ a
