1. Describe the nuclear fusion reaction that occurs in stars. Page 294 Stars are made primarily of the almond hydrogen the most common material universe. As a star forms‚ gravity pulls the hydrogen into a dense ball that heats up. Electrons are torn from the hydrogen and other atoms‚ creating a plasma made up primarily of protons (the nucleus of the hydrogen atom) and electrons. Normally‚ protons would repel each other. As matter accumulates ending the new star however‚ the protons move

Australia can however have a disastrous effect on the local environment and people. The large amount of nuclear waste created in the mining process is a major issue for the uranium mining industry as there are few viable options to safely dispose of the toxic waste. I hypothesise that a new technique for the disposal of waste needs to be developed for a long-term solution to the problem of nuclear waste disposal. Waste from the mining process is known as tailings‚ which consists of radioactive slurry

Many American’s assume that nuclear waste can be more dangerous than natural radioactive substances already present in the Earth currently. However‚ Richard Muller challenges this assumption in his chronicle “Nuclear Waste” by demonstrating the mathematical differences concerning the half-life of numerous radioactive substances. Basically‚ Muller is warning that “the dangers of storing our waste at Yucca Mountain to be small compared of the dangers of not doing so‚ and significantly smaller than

Nuclear Energy: How Fukushima Changed Everything. After the Chernobyl disaster of April 26th‚ 1986‚ it was often said that the nuclear industry no longer had the resilience to survive another major nuclear accident. The industry hoped that the sentiment behind the Chernobyl accident could be eased on the basis that it was the consequence of a flaw in design that was unique to the Soviet Union’s reactors and that they had been operated in such a way that would not have been acceptable in the

In fact‚ nuclear energy is considered one of the most environmentally friendly source of energy because contrary to traditional sources like coal‚ nuclear energy produces less carbon emissions when producing electricity. Although Latvia doesn’t possess any nuclear power plant‚ Latvia imports nuclear energy to supply the demand of its citizens’ electrical consumption. The dangerous thing about nuclear energy is when it is turned to a weapon. Latvia‚ being
