Nuclear Explosions-Images "The discovery of nuclear chain reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than did the discovery of matches. We only must do everything in our power to safeguard against its abuse." Albert Einstein One of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe is the conversion of mass into energy. The whole universe is "powered" by this process. The energy radiated by stars, including the Sun, arises from nuclear reactions (called fusion) deep in their interiors. The release of nuclear energy occurs through the fusion of two light hydrogen nuclei into a heavier nucleus of helium. SOHO: The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory Until about 1800, the principal fuel on our planet was wood, its energy originating from solar energy stored in plants during their lifetimes.

    Extractions: This section deals with the theory and operation of nuclear fission reactors as a practical energy source. Over 30 countries around the world now operate nuclear power stations, and many countries are heavily reliant on nuclear power. Around 17% of the world's electricity now comes from nuclear energy. The World Nuclear Association in London is a good site to start for general information. If your browser can handle PDF files, then I particularly recommend their factsheets The theoretical basis for fission is the massive energy release which occurs when a heavy nucleus divides into two smaller ones. Only a few very heavy nuclei undergo fission spontaneously, while others can be encouraged to undergo fission by the addition of energy when a neutron is absorbed. Such fissile materials (as they are known) include U and Pu. During the fission process, a number of neutrons are released, and if these go on to induce new fission events, a chain reaction results. The use of a controlled chain reaction is the basis for all nuclear power stations.

    Extractions: Timbuk 3, Greetings From Timbuk 3 In the 20 years since one-hit wonder Timbuk 3 made nuclear science the pop cliché for career promise, the nuclear power industry has fallen on hard times. Many older plants have proved unprofitable, and some are being decommissioned at considerable expense, leaving in their wake contaminated buildings and piles of spent fuel all lit up with no place to go. Nuclear engineering degree programs have also floundered: Roughly half the programs in the United States disappeared during the 1990s, and enrollments have sagged in the few that are still around. During the last decade of the 20th century, research on nuclear power systems virtually ceased. It would seem to be a lousy time to embark on a career in nuclear science and engineering. But not so fast. Maybe, just maybe, nuclear fission wasn't the flash in the pan it seemed to be. Even as the industry as a whole seemed to be teetering on the brink, existing nuclear plants were thriving. U.S. plants operated at 80% capacity during the 1990s, up from 65% the previous decade. And just last year the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), home of the nation's first and best graduate nuclear engineering program, started a brand-new research center, the Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems (CANES). Meanwhile, nuclear engineering enrollments are creeping up nationwide. Last year's 1st-year enrollment in Purdue University's program was up by 40% over the previous year.

    Extractions: 14.c. Fusion A nuclear reaction is induced by the bombardment of nuclei with a particle beam. The schematics of such a reaction are where X and Y are nuclei, a is the incoming particle and b is an outgoing particle. These reactions are also written sometimes as X(a,b)Y. An example is C(p,n) N. Nuclear reaction are governed by conservation laws: Energy-momentum, nucleon number (A), and charge (Q). The incoming particle carries kinetic energy K a . The outgoing nucleus and particle also carry kinetic energies K Y and K b . The target nucleus, X, is supposed to be at rest. So the energy balance of the reaction is K a + c ( M X + M a ) = K b + K Y + c ( M Y + M b The energy produced in the reaction is Q = K b + K Y - K a a at which the reaction occurs), which is larger than the mass energy difference c ( M Y + M b - M X - M a ), because of momentum conservation.

    Extractions: Glossary of Nuclear Terms Atom: The basic building block of all matter. The smallest particle of an element that has the same properties as the element. It consists of a central core called the nucleus that is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons revolve in orbits in the region surrounding the nucleus. Dry-cask storage: A method for storing spent fuel. Dry casks are large, rugged containers made of steel or steel-reinforced concrete, 18 or more inches thick. The casks use materials like steel, concrete and lead - instead of water - as a radiation shield. Depending on the design, a dry cask can hold from seven to 56 12-foot-long fuel assemblies. Fission: The splitting of atoms that results in the release of large amounts of energy. Two or three neutrons are usually released during this event. Fission occurs either naturally or when an atom's nucleus is bombarded by neutrons.

    Extractions: Nuclear power plants provide about 17 percent of the world's electricity. Some countries depend more on nuclear power for electricity than others. In France, for instance, about 75 percent of the electricity is generated from nuclear power, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency . In the United States, nuclear power supplies about 15 percent of the electricity overall, but some states get more power from nuclear plants than others. There are more than 400 nuclear power plants around the world, with more than 100 in the United States.

    Extractions: Uranium is a fairly common element on Earth, incorporated into the planet during the planet's formation. Uranium is originally formed in stars . Old stars exploded, and the dust from these shattered stars aggregated together to form our planet. Uranium-238 (U-238) has an extremely long half-life > (4.5 billion years), and therefore is still present in fairly large quantities. U-238 makes up 99 percent of the uranium on the planet. U-235 makes up about 0.7 percent of the remaining uranium found naturally, while U-234 is even more rare and is formed by the decay of U-238. (Uranium-238 goes through many stages or alpha and beta decay to form a stable isotope of lead, and U-234 is one link in that chain.)

By now, you should have an idea of the fission process and how it works. A nuclear power plant uses controlled nuclear fission. In this section, we will explore how a nuclear power plant operates and the manner in which nuclear reactions are controlled. E arlier we talked about nuclear fission with U.
