IS NUCLEAR ENERGY A SOLUTION TO THE ENERGY CRISIS? Contents * Abstract * Introduction * Report * Conclusion * Bibliography * Appendix Abstract Nuclear energy could be the future of energy and potentially solve the energy crisis problem. Nuclear energy is a sustainable energy source and it can provide millions of times the amount of energy output from a fixed mass of fuel than any other energy source‚ such as fossil fuel‚ for the same mass of fuel.

Earth’s crust. The percentages of the halogens in the igneous rocks of Earth’s crust are 0.06 fluorine‚ 0.031 chlorine‚ 0.00016 bromine‚ and 0.00003 iodine. Astatine and element 117 do not occur in nature‚ because they consist of only short-lived radioactive isotopes. The halogen elements show great resemblances to one another in their general chemical behaviour and in the properties of their compounds with other elements. There is‚ however‚ a progressive change in properties from fluorine through chlorine

number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations) the weight is the normal average atomic weight. The table illustrates the similiarity of various elements such as metals‚ noble gases‚ rare earths‚ halides‚ etc. in that they fall into series within the table. The

favors species that existed for a long time‚ were abundant and wide spread in certain kinds of environment and had hard shells. 2. Radiometric dating can be used to determine the absolute age of rocks strata because a radioactive parent isotope decays to a daughter isotope at a constant rate. The rate of decay is measured in half life. Measurement of magnetism

-270.98°C becomes a superfluid. Helium becomes solid at -272.2°C at pressures above 26 atmospheres‚ helium boils at -268.9°C and has a density of 0.1664 g/litre at 20°C and one atmosphere. The stable isotopes of helium are a rare form of helium-3 and the most common form of helium-4. Isotopes from helium-5 to helium-10 are unstable and rapidly decay‚ these are only known from certain nuclear reactions and experiments with particle accelerators. Because helium’s’ electron shell is always full

The world trembled when America dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world trembled once again years later‚ but this time to the heavy steps of Godzilla. Along with him came his highly radioactive body leaving trails of radioactive residue. His main abilities were his plasma breath ray‚ immunity to normal weapons‚ giant strength‚ and he can reproduce a-sexually. He was created for a horror movie that showed the effect of what worried the Japanese at the time- Nuclear weapons. In

is it called nuclear medicine? This field of specialization includes the use of radioisotopes (radioactive material). Hence a combination of drugs and radioisotopes is used in the same. They help in studying the different internal parts of the body. Depending on the part of the body that is to be diagnosed or treated the dose and location is decided. How does it work? A small amount of the radio isotopes is introduced in the body of
