Nuclear Power may be atmospheric friendly‚ but it is capable of causing extensive harm on any living organism. One of the worst nuclear power accidents happened in the United States on March 28‚ 1979. The accident occurred at 4:00 a.m. at the Three Mile Island 2 Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania. Three Mile Island has two power plants and together they supplied about 300‚000 homes with electricity. The accident started out as a mechanical malfunction‚ but was intensified by human errors. It was

In January 1950 president Truman made the decision to continue the research and development of thermonuclear weapons. He wrote a letter to Crawford H. Greenewalt asking him to take charge of overseeing the designs‚ construction‚ and operation of the new site to produce plutonium. They set up distant sites across the country and ended up having operations in 32 states. During the Manhattan Project the main focus was on the development of fission weapons but work on the hydrogen bomb was also taking

Properties of Gallium Gallium is a chemical element that is located in Group 13 or the “Boron Group” on the periodic table of the elements. It has the chemical symbol Ga and has an atomic number of 31 meaning it has 31 protons and 31 electrons. The atomic mass of Gallium is 69 meaning it has 38 neutrons. Gallium is a transition metal and was discovered in 1875 by French Chemist Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran after the element was predicted by Dmitri Mendeleev who created the periodic table of the

The PET scan‚ or Positron Emission Tomography‚ was born in 1973 at Washington University. It was created by Edward Hoffman‚ Michael M. Ter-Pogossian‚ and Michael E. Phelps; Phelps is most often credited with the invention (History of PET and MRI‚ 2009). In preparation for a PET scan‚ radioactive tracers are injected into the body‚ inhaled‚ or ingested by the patient through a solution that they drink. Then the scan will actually begin‚ as the patient lies on a table‚ which glides into the machine
