Nuclear weapons are destructive weapons that obtain its force from nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reaction. Both are theses producers are very harmful for the living organism. Nuclear weapons were first conducted in world war2 on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in

THE PROS AND CONS OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE Nuclear energy is a powerful source of energy compared to other conventional fuels. All crude oil based fuels derive their energy from oxidation‚ which is a change in the energy levels of electrons outside the nucleus. However‚ nuclear energy derives power from changes in the nuclear energy levels of the atomic nucleus! Tremendous energy lies locked up inside a radioactive nucleus and nuclear fission is a way of tapping this energy. Nuclear power plants derive

past 10 years the usage of nuclear energy has become one of the most polarizing issues of the world. Especially in the Middle East when a country reveals information about its nuclear program‚ the west considers this country as a threat and tries all possible ways to stop this program. B. Thesis Statement. Nuclear energy is a double edged sword. It is every country’s right to own nuclear weapons as a defence mechanism against any outside threat. A country that owns a nuclear weapon is feared and respected

What can make the world go boom‚ nuclear fission? While nuclear fission has been used as a bomb in the events of Hiroshima it has been used now to produce 40 million kilowatts of energy per day for every ton of uranium. Nuclear fission is when a heavy nucleus disintegrates into two nuclei approximately equal sizes. In the beginning of our understanding of nuclear fission‚ fission was first used and discovered by two German physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch‚ in 1939. However‚ they were not

NUCLEAR POWER IS NOT THE ANSWER by Helen Caldicott [Editor’s note: The following is the Introduction to Dr. Helen Caldicott’s new book Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer.] “[Nuclear power] is a very important part of our energy policy today in the U.S. . . . America’s electricity is already being provided through the nuclear industry efficiently‚ safely‚ and with no discharge of greenhouse gases or emissions.” —Vice President Cheney in a speech to the Nuclear Energy Institute‚ May 22‚ 2001 “The 103

Nuclear energy – Uses and abuses Nuclear energy is the energy created from the nucleus of atoms. The nuclear power is released in nuclear reactions which can be nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion‚ atoms combine together to form a larger atom. This is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy. Large scale fusion processes involve very high temperatures and densities‚ such as the production of energy from the sun and the shine from stars we see in the night sky. On the

What are the Advantages of Nuclear Energy? * Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy‚ as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence‚ a large amount of electricity can be generated. Presently‚ 12-18% of the world’s electricity is generated through nuclear energy. * The biggest advantage of nuclear energy is that there is no release of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ ozone‚ chlorofluorocarbon) during nuclear reaction. The greenhouse gases are a major threat in the
