"The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies in a standing waist deep in a gasoline‚ one with three matches and the other with five." Carl Saga. It all started with the discovery of the fission of the element Uranium‚ by Otto Hahn in 1938. But it was only in 1957 that the first commercial nuclear power plant was started to be operational in Calder Hall‚ Windscale‚ England. Since we have seen a series of breakthroughs in the field‚ but at the same time succumbed to some of the most disastrous

Nuclear Energy in India - Boon or Bane? Points to be known:- Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal‚ hydroelectric and renewable sources of electricity. There are 442 nuclear reactors in the world. And some more nuclear plants are in construction. As of 2010‚ India has 20 nuclear reactors in operation in six nuclear power plants‚ generating 4‚780 MW‚ while 5 other plants are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 2‚720 MW. India

A Tale of Two Cities: Tehran vs. Washington Iran‚ as it stated and signed in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty‚ that it would not proliferate while having the right to peacefully use nuclear technology i.e. using nuclear power to generate heat and electricity. Along with signing this treaty Iran along with other signatories received some privileges from the NTP leaders done by providing alternative means of protecting members’ security – namely‚ enhanced access to conventional arms. However

Tolly 1 Going or Glowing Green? When I mention “nuclear” to anyone the first thought that comes to mind is nuclear weapons. This however is the wrong state of mind. Environmentalist have convinced the public that anything involving nuclear fission is terrible including nuclear power. The problem is environmentalist propaganda‚ but environmentalist have trapped themselves in a corner with all their talk of “poisonous energy.” A big issue on everyone’s mind today is global warming.

In January 2012‚ the Center for Disease Control and Prevention released their Preliminary Data for the Leading Causes of Death in the United States. Their report showed that cancer is ranked at number two once again. As cancer rates remain high‚ it becomes increasingly important to understand what kinds of carcinogens‚ or cancer-causing agents‚ are around us‚ and how much they impact us. The known carcinogens that are well documented in terms of cancer death rates include smoking‚ alcohol consumption

ENERGY CRISIS AND NUCLEAR ENERGY REQUIREMENT IN INDIA 1. The year 2005-06 is marked in the history of India – US relations as an important milestone in the mutual rediscovery of each other. It marks one of the most significant departure from long held relations. It is the biggest foreign policy challenge facing India after a gap of more than 30 years India and US agreed to resume cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. Until now ‚ US viewed India as a nuclear weapon capable state
