Nuclear CCC Report (Draft outline) [Intro] With the recent news that Singapore might be building a nuclear power plant‚ Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCCs) are in favour of encouraging the public to support the build of nuclear power plant. CCCs are at the apex of all grassroots organisation. A vital bridge between the people and the Government‚ we plan and lead major grassroots activities. In this case‚ we aim to educate elderly‚ homemakers and primary students‚ raising their awareness of

Nuclear Energy There are many advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear power. Nuclear power is said to prevent power outages that happen in areas without nuclear power. For an example‚ if we were using hydroelectricity and the dam suddenly malfunctions‚ then we won’t have electricity until someone fixes the dam‚ and that would be difficult if it happened in the middle of the night. However‚ on the other hand‚ nuclear power is also considered toxic and it pollutes the Earth with harmful and

Perform‚ Achieve & Trade (PAT) The PAT Scheme is specific to the Designated Consumers only (except Railways). The PAT scheme is evolved in order to incentivise industry to achieve better energy efficiency target in a cost-effective manner. Identified industries are required to improve their SEC within specified period of three years or face penalty provisions under the mandate of the government. At the same time it provides incentive to efficient industries to trade their additional certified energy

Abstract The article describes a technique for processing liquid radioactive waste water using membrane techniques to single out only radioactive waste components without affecting the salt ballast. This solution dramatically reduces the amount of radioactive concentrates to be long-term storage‚ and provides an opportunity to re-use treated water and chemicals. Keywords. Liquid radioactive waste‚ radioactive waste water purification‚ reverse osmosis‚ selective extraction of radionuclides. Introduction

Guns are a simple idea‚ and work all the better because of it. To put it simply‚ gasses push a projectile out of a barrel. The gun hasn’t changed much since it was created in china centuries ago. Other than looks it has kept the same principle elements‚ the primer‚ the propellant‚ and the projectile (Leghorn). A primer is a small explosive that occurs when the trigger is pulled to light the propellant. Despite what many people think‚ the propellant doesn’t explode‚ it burns. It burns very quickly

Albert Einstein was great scientist who help many right now people who made the atomic bomb move by sending a letter to the president franklin roosevelt saying that they should build the bomb. Albert made many things like the famous equation E=mc2 and had the theory of relativity. Albert Einstein was born march 14‚1879 in ulm germany Europe and moved to munich with his jewish parents and attended munich elementary school. Albert Einstein did good in mathematics and science and did poorly in other

Pros and Cons of Nuclear Energy Debates and controversial issues are what keep countries all over the world connected. Ideas that were argued upon one hundred years ago are still argued upon today. One of these ideas is nuclear energy- should we or should we not use it at such a rate? Before an opinion can be reached‚ you must first weigh the pros and cons of this topic. Nuclear energy can be environmentally unsafe and can also be threatening‚ but at the same time it can benefit the progress and

Introduction Did you know that the first Nobel Peace Prize for Chemistry was given to Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff in 1901 for his discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions? Over the next 115 years it has been awarded to some of the world’s top scientists and chemists. In 1908 it was awarded to Ernest Rutherford for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements‚ and the chemistry of radioactive substances. Ernest lived a very interesting life. Author’s

The element symbol for Germanium is Ge. It is located in row 4 column 4 on the periodic table and is in block p. It belongs in group 14. Germanium was first proposed by Dmitri Mendeleyev in 1871 based on the gaps found in the newly made periodic table. Germanium was first discovered by the German chemist Clemens Winkler ( Winkler ). Clemens Winkler was born in Freiburg‚ Germany in 1838 but he grew up Zschopenthal‚ Germany. His father Kurt Winkler was a well known chemist and metallurgist. Clemens
