Nuclear World If a nuclear bomb was dropped on your city‚ how would you survive? The blast from the fission bomb on Hiroshima‚ which weighed 30 kilotons‚ was equivalent to 12‚500 tons of TNT. Now‚ if this was dropped right outside your house‚ there would be no way of survival. But‚ one megaton hydrogen bomb is said to have 80 times the explosive intensity of the fission bomb detonated in 1945. The destructive force of the hydrogen bomb is near unimaginable. But first‚ let’s take a

Fusion as a future energy source Creating Nuclear Fusion could be a break through in finding an alternative source of energy. As of today we do not have the technology to make a nuclear fusion reactor‚ but we could be relying on them for power sometime in the next 30 to 40 years. Nuclear Fusion is created by forcing deuterium (D) and tritium (T) together‚ when forced together their nuclei fuse and then break apart to form a helium nucleus and an uncharged neutron. Most of the excess energy

Nuclear Radiation There are many ways that the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" are similar. "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story that deals with nuclear radiation and what the future world would be like if there was an atomic bomb. This short story is a good example of what could happen in the future. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a movie that also has the same genre‚ that it is science fiction. It helps

Cathay Pacific Airlines Cathay Pacific has been serving and growing with Hong Kong for 60 years. Being as the world’s largest international cargo airline and the world’s busiest airport in terms of cargo traffic‚ Cathay Pacific is one of the seven airlines to be ranked as a 5-star airline by Skytrax in 2009. Affected by the unstable global situation of political‚ economic and cultural‚ each single change of general environment may cause significant influence of airline industry. Therefore‚ to

Nuclear engineering is the practical application of the breakdown of atomic nuclei and/or other sub-atomic physics‚ based on the principles of nuclear physics. It includes‚ but is not limited to‚ the interaction and maintenance of nuclear fission systems and components specifically‚ nuclear reactors‚ nuclear power plants‚ and/or nuclear weapons. The field may also include the study of nuclear fusion‚ medical and other applications of (generally ionizing) radiation‚ nuclear safety‚ heat/thermodynamics

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 engineering is a wide field that covers important subjects of study from the disposal of nuclear fuel and waste to the maintenance of systems such as nuclear reactors‚ plants‚ and even weapons (Shiori‚ “Nuclear Engineering Education”). Although the amount of advances has been minimal over the years‚ nuclear engineering is still a stable field of study and necessary for a highly civilized country to

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.
