Radioisotopes in Medicine Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person’s specific organs‚ or to treat them. Diagnostic procedures are now routine. * Radiotherapy can be used to treat some medical conditions‚ especially cancer‚ using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. * Tens of millions of nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year‚ and demand for radioisotopes is increasing rapidly. Nuclear Medicine This is

The Effect of Nuclear Energy on Human * As we all know‚ nuclear energy is a non-renewable energy. The science of atomic radiation‚ atomic change and nuclear fission was developed from 1895 to 1945‚ much of it in the last six of those years (WMA‚ 2010). Since then human have begun expanding their research on nuclear energy and sadly during year 1939 to year 1949‚ nuclear energy was only used for creating atomic bomb by many of the countries back then such as Japan‚ Germany‚ United States of

Possibility of Nuclear Reliance in Hong Kong 1. Introduction Do you know Hong Kong uses 70% of the electricity generated by The Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station (China Light & Power Holdings Limited‚ 2010)? The main controversy of nuclear power is its safety and the problem of waste storage. Though Hong Kong is heavily relying on fossil fuels‚ Hong Kong should increase its reliance on nuclear power in the near future. This essay aims to examine the possibility and benefit of having a nuclear power

Paragraph one: One of the main reasons the United States and Western European countries are hesitant to allow Iran to further its nuclear program to the point where it is able to obtain a nuclear weapon is that they are uncertain about what Iran will do once it has that kind of power. This uncertainty is further fueled by the fact that there is an unstable environment and a lot of distrust between countries in the Middle East. However‚ according to Waltz this current atmosphere of distrust in the

Has nuclear energy gone too far beyond its necessity?: Opposing Nuclear Energy Many people around the world ask themselves what are the disadvantages of adopting an alternative solution to solve the consumption of global nuclear energy? Based on what we have experienced through events with major disasters and the aftermath of many casualties‚ it has summed up to result in having failures outgrowing expectations. Therefore‚ global nuclear power usage is to be opposed due to the fact that it comes

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

The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States‚ the Soviet Union‚ and their respective allies during the Cold War. During the Cold War‚ in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles‚ other countries developed nuclear weapons‚ though none engaged in warhead production on nearly the same scale as the two superpowers. The first nuclear weapon was created by the Manhattan Project during the Second World War and was developed to be used
