mysterious NUCLEAR ENERGY!! Nuclear energy comes mostly from the Uranium atoms in a special, somewhat rare rock called Uranium ore. Pure Uranium is extracted from the rock and used to fuel nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy can be reasonably inexpensive. It also makes very little air pollution. Most important, NUCLEAR ENERGY produces RADIOACTIVITY The uranium atoms RADIATE tiny pieces of themselves (called nuclear particles) that collide with other atoms, causing strange things to happen. When the radioactivity hits human bodies, we get very sick. Radioactivity is very dangerous and lasts for thousands of years. Well, that's sort of a super-basic introduction... For more details, try: nuclear reaction atomic bombs TONS of CLEAN? energy! nuclear RISKS ... what a waste Nuclear reactions A source of energy which is not a fossil fuel but is also found underground is uranium. Uranium is mined and taken to nuclear power plants where its tiny atoms are split apart. This process, called nuclear fission, releases heat which is used to boil water to make steam. Just as in so many fossil fuel plants, the steam turns a turbine to produce electricity. Nuclear bombs Nuclear fission was first used in 1945 in the atom bombs that were dropped on Japan at the end of World War ll. When scientists told the world that atomic power could be used peacefully to produce electricity, people were very hopeful that nuclear power would solve most of our energy problems.

By Aisha El-Awady A satellite image of North Korea’s Yongbyon nuclear facility There has been much talk recently regarding the possession or commission of nuclear reactors by certain countries. The reactivation of North Korea’s nuclear reactor at Yongbyon has been causing a great deal of apprehension lately. The commission of Iran’s first nuclear reactor is continuing despite steady criticism by the United States. Nuclear bomb There are two types of nuclear reactors: research reactors and power reactors. Research reactors are used for scientific research, and for the production of isotopes for medicinal and industrial purposes. These types of reactors are not used for energy production. There are 284 research reactors found in 56 countries around the world. Power

Click here to return to All About Energy Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is energy that comes from the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe. Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity. But first, the energy must be released from atoms. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when atoms are combined or fused together. This is how the sun produces energy. In nuclear fission, energy is released when atoms are split apart. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electricity. The fuel most widely used in nuclear plants is uranium. Uranium is a common metal found in rocks all over the world. Nuclear plants use uranium as a fuel because its atoms are easily split apart. During nuclear fission, a small particle called a neutron hits the uranium atom and it splits, releasing a great amount of energy in the form of heat, radiation, and more neutrons. These neutrons go on to bombard other uranium atoms, and the process repeats itself over and over again. This is called a nuclear chain reaction. The chain reaction takes place inside of the reactor of a nuclear power plant. The heat generated when the uranium atoms are split is used to boil water and turn it into steam. The steam is then blasted against huge turbine blades. As they turn, they drive generators that make electricity.

Environmental harmonization of nuclear energy technology is considered as an absolutely necessary condition in its future successful development for peaceful uses. Establishment of self-consistent nuclear energy system that simultaneously meets. four requirements - energy production, fuel production, burning of radionuclides and safety strongly relies on neutron excess generation. Implementation of external non fission based neutron sources into fission energy system can facilitate to approach self-consistency. Neutron excess generation by external neutron sources based on accelerator and fusion technologies would open the possibility of approaching the self consistent nuclear energy system, with unlimited fuel resources and zero radioactivity release... M. Saito V. Artisyuk and A.Chmelev explain SCNES. 1. Introduction It is broadly recognized that existing nuclear reactors represent the first stage of nuclear energy development. Along with demonstrating the possibility to utilize nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, it brought in public worries about nuclear safety and long-term consequences of nuclear energy recovery. The last is mainly related to the long-lived fission products (FP) and minor actinides (MA) since their safe isolation from the environment requires hundred thousand years. The new era which we are entering now, places the stress on the principle possibility of approaching the wasteless self-consistent nuclear energy system (SCNES) that simultaneously satisfies four objectives [1]:

var loc = "../../../"; NUCLEAR ENERGY Heat energy produced by the process of nuclear fission within a nuclear reactor. The coolant that removes heat from the reactor core is normally used to boil water. The resultant steam drives turbines that rotate electrical generators. Alpha particle Particle emitted in certain types of radioactive decay. It is positively charged and made up of two neutrons and two protons (which is a helium atom nucleus.) It is easily stopped, and cannot penetrate a piece of paper or the skin. Atom The smallest part of an element that still has all properties of that element. Its nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, and is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Atoms for Peace President Eisenhower's 1954 initiative to allow the peaceful uses of atomic energy to be available to other nations. Background radiation Radiation that comes from natural sources and is always present in the environment. This includes solar and cosmic radiation as well as radioactive elements in the ground, building materials, and the human body. Average annual dose of background radiation for an American is about 360 millirems. Beta particle Another type of particle, a negatively charged electronemitted in certain types of radioactive decay. It can be stopped by a thin piece of aluminum or by traveling a short distance in the air.
