While World War II had just begun‚ Albert Einstein and his partner Leo Szilard educated President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the idea of a bomb with a magnificent and tremendous power that can be accessed by breaking into the forces of nuclear fission. At the time‚ Germany‚ too‚ had already begun establishing nuclear bombs. It was crucial for the U.S to be the first to create the nuclear bomb so‚ they could remove power of destruction away from Hitler. Roosevelt had agreed to the idea and so for the

ratio of x = 0.05À0.5 mol% were prepared by a co-precipitation process‚ which employs thorium and cerium nitrate as thorium and cerium source material‚ deionized water as solvent and ammonia gas as precipitant. Cerium was used as a simulator for plutonium and the other actinides with a +4 valency. After co-precipitation the aqueous (Th1ÀxCex)(OH)y Æ nH2O cakes had been dried at 110 °C‚ these powders were separately milled in acetone‚ carbon tetrachloride‚ n-dodecane‚ isopropanol and water before

Introduction In the last hundred years‚ life expectancy doubled and many deadly illnesses were eradicated. The world would be a better place to live‚ had the astonishing scientific discoveries not been devalued with building the atomic bomb an invention that can destroy life on earth in an instant. Fredrick Soddy‚ who together with Ernest Rutherford discovered in 1901 that radioactivity involved the release of energy‚ described an atomic future in which humanity could transform a desert continent

clean energy. Advertising is not always truthful. It’s true it’s clean until there an accident‚ and accidents always happen. In fact‚ there is no industry that has no accidents. In addition‚ “getting the uranium out of the ground to process into plutonium for nuclear power stations is a very dangerous risky business for workers. Uranium mining often causes terrible poisoning of people and land. Nuclear power stations‚ when there are leaks also cause the same problems: cancer‚ death‚ food supplies
