Nuclear power uses unstable elements like uranium. Uranium is constantly going through a process called nuclear decay‚ which means the atom is splitting apart over a period of time‚ measured in half-lives. This is why it is the element of choice for nuclear power plants. Uranium is special because it can go through what is called induced fission. Induced fission is when a free neutron is fired at an atom (like uranium). The atom will absorb the neutron‚ and immediately becomes unstable and splits

consist of protons and neutrons‚ which have a positive or negative charge. Electric forces are repulsive between similar charges‚ so there must be a force much stronger than electromagnetism keeping them together. This force is called the Strong Nuclear Force‚ and it is about a hundred times stronger than the electromagnetic force. Its strength allows it to hold a nucleus together‚ despite the desire of the electromagnetic force to thrust it apart. Despite its relative strength‚ the strong force

Nuclear Weapons Debate The icing of my debate is the use of nuclear weapons. This is all about public controversies relating to the use of nuclear weapons. Nuclear disarmament refers to both the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-free world. It is said by Edward Gladstone. “We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then our world will know the blessing of peace”- The use of nuclear power is highly fatal

constantly changing. The “normal” American family is known as the nuclear family‚ with a mother‚ father‚ son‚ daughter‚ and occasionally‚ a pet. But as time has progressed‚ the nuclear family has had to make room for larger families‚ single parent families‚ biracial families‚ and families with step and half relatives in them. After WWII‚ the American family’s structure changed drastically‚ with many types of families appearing‚ aside from the nuclear family structure. The baby boom led to larger families

Nuclear energy is an efficient way to reduce the amount of CO2 in the environment. Nuclear energy saves of 2.5 billion tonnes of CO2 if that same amount of energy was made from burning coal. For every 22 tonnes of uranium used in the nuclear power plant‚ one million tonnes of CO2 emissions isn’t put into the environment. If the world doubled its nuclear output‚ it would reduce CO2 emissions by about a fourth. Nuclear energy uses less than 6% of their output energy to make their nuclear power plant
