In a “historic crossover‚” the costs of solar photovoltaic systems have declined to the point where they are lower than the rising projected costs of new nuclear plants‚ according to a paper published this month. “Solar photovoltaics have joined the ranks of lower-cost alternatives to new nuclear plants‚” John O. Blackburn‚ a professor of economics at Duke University‚ in North Carolina

    Nuclear Disasters and Accidents Introduction: One of the scariest things about nuclear power is when something goes wrong and an accident occurs. Radiation is released into the environment and people get hurt. Two of the most famous nuclear accidents occurred at the Three Mile Island reactor 2 in the United States and the Chernobyl reactor 4 in the former Soviet Union. In this text we will discuss these two disasters‚ along with correcting a few common misconceptions about nuclear accidents. The

Indonesia is set to lead the way‚ followed by Vietnam‚ Thailand‚ and potentially the Philippines and Malaysia. But nuclear power development in the region faces questions about its economics and safety‚ as well as nuclear weapons non-proliferation. A key issue is whether countries will embark on sensitive segments of the fuel cycle. Approaches

    Nuclear power is the only way to ensure enough energy for the future“ The modern world is changing faster than at any time in history. Nuclear power is increasingly changing the future of energy is unlikely to receive otherwise. One answer - no. Will nuclear power is the only way to ensure enough energy for the future? That is the key question. Many people are pessimistic about the future of our planet. They believe that after few years of using nuclear energy from the earth is nothing left

    In spring of 1989‚ two scientists by the name of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann announced that they had found a way to create nuclear fusion in a relatively simple and cheap way. Superhot fusion is the process in which deuterium‚ a heavier form of hydrogen‚ is held within a magnetic field and heated to tens of millions of degrees. The nuclei of the atoms fuse‚ and heat energy is released. This kind of fusion happens in our solar system’s sun. This type of fusion is known to occur‚ but recreating

    Nuclear Energy 1. What is nuclear energy? Text Book Pg 80 2. Nuclear Fission :- In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry‚ nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei)‚ often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays)‚ and releasing a tremendous amount of energy. The two nuclei produced are most often of comparable size‚ typically with a mass ratio around 3:2 for common fissile isotopes.[1][2].The smallest

    Nuclear energy… Boon or Bane ? Nuclear energy? Nowadays these two words are always sticking on the society’s mouth‚ but do they know the actual meaning of it? Nuclear energy is basically defined as the energy released by the reaction within the nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. The core reason of using nuclear energy is to generate electric power to satisfy human needs. Usage of the nuclear power plant as an energy generator came together with several boons and banes.
