Nuclear energy is the energy created in a nuclear reaction which is the changes can occur in the structure of the nuclei of atoms. Nuclear energy was discovered in the mid-twentieth century and first utilized in a military capacity in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It all started rather innocently in 1896‚ when Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in Uranium. The next step came in 1902 when Marie and Pierre Curie isolated radioactive metal called Radium. In 1934‚ Enrico

Coking Coal A Coking coal is that coal which when heated in absence of air leaves a solid coherent residue possessing metallic grayish luster & which possesses all the physical & chemical properties in the coke when manufactured commercially. Coking coal are those coals which after heating in absence of air leaves a residual coke. This coke when satisfies all the physical & chemical characteristics such as CSR‚ CRI‚ Shutter Index‚ Micum 10 & 40 & Porosity‚ are accepted by the steel plants. The coal

In “Nuclear Waste”‚ Richard A. Muller‚ a professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley‚ discusses the dangers of nuclear waste and criticizes how important figures are handling the situation. To put it another way‚ Muller’s main intention of this article is to inform any future president about the reality of nuclear waste and power by reinforcing the fact that nuclear waste is intractable. Besides‚ Muller points out that it is impractical to focus on the absolute containment of

PEACEFUL USES OF NUCLEAR ENERGY “I lose my temper but it’s all over in a minute.” said the Student. “So is the Nuclear Bomb. But think of the damage it produces.” Teacher replied. Above mentioned quote confirms that we have always weighed nuclear energy with the destruction it causes. Thanks to the unique invention of nuclear energy‚ i.e. Nuclear Bomb. On hearing the word ‘Nuclear’ the only thing that comes to our mind is havoc and disaster mainly due to some unfortunate incidents such

Is Nuclear Energy Safe? Atomic energy is the released by a nuclear reaction. Nuclear energy is an alternative for things that produce energy like coal‚ wind‚ or other natural resources. The use of nuclear energy in the world has had a huge impact on the economic qualities of countries. When countries use nuclear energy they are putting the people in risk of radioactive poison and cancer. Some people argue that nuclear energy is worth the risk if it saves money‚ but nuclear is too risky because

intervention in Middle East – initiative of multiple regime changes in around seven countries through direct and indirect wars – is primarily to gain control over oil resources by Western powers. Control over energy has become a cause of wars among nations‚ only indicating how critically important this resource; although power of collaboration is being underestimated. One cannot imagine a tomorrow devoid of energy in modern world. Energy is its cornerstone. It is critical to be self-sufficient in its generation

Future of Nuclear Energy- Thorium According to the United Nations‚ we are expecting the world population to reach approximately nine billion in 2050. Because of this rapid increase in world population‚ humans have been looking for cheap‚ safe‚ and environmentally friendly energy sources to satisfy the population’s necessities. For the past few decades‚ the human population has been using coal‚ oil‚ and gas as our energy source‚ but we quickly found out that was not enough. One of the other

Iran’s Nuclear Program “…Look at it in the totality of the picture. And the picture is you ’ve got undeclared …nuclear activity‚ deliberate misinformation on nuclear activity‚ development of delivery systems‚ and other technical research that‚ added all up‚ paints a very troubling picture.” (Ereli‚ 2004). These remarks‚ given by J. Adam Ereli‚ a State Department Deputy Spokesman‚ sums up the nuclear program and intentions of Iran. Although on multiple occasions Iran declared their nuclear development

The Dilemma of nuclear technology The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011 has risen our awareness on using nuclear energy and we have since begun to re-evaluate the possibility of promoting the use of the technology widely. Despite the potential dangers it can induce‚ there are some benefits it has brought which are worth noticing. In the economic aspect‚ the operation cost of nuclear energy is relatively lower than the other energy such as natural gas and other renewable energy. According
