    Extractions: Dr Alan Sykes Fusion is the form of nuclear energy that powers the stars. Although, it has many advantages over conventional nuclear power, it has been technically difficult to develop. The best approach appears to be to confine a superhot gas, called a plasma, in a magnetic field. Some success has been achieved this way using huge experimental fusion reactors. But now, according to United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) scientists, making smaller versions of the same equipment may be technically easier, cheaper and swifter to develop. The most recent experiments show promise, they claim.

    Extractions: The sun and stars are seemingly inexhaustible sources of energy. That energy is the result of nuclear reactions, in which matter is converted to energy. We have been able to harness that mechanism and regularly use it to generate power. Presently, nuclear energy provides for approximately 16% of the world's electricity. Unlike the stars, the nuclear reactors that we have today work on the principle of nuclear fission. Scientists are working like madmen to make fusion reactors which have the potential of providing more energy with fewer disadvantages than fission reactors. Changes can occur in the structure of the nuclei of atoms. These changes are called nuclear reactions . Energy created in a nuclear reaction is called nuclear energy , or atomic energy Nuclear energy is produced naturally and in man-made operations under human control.

The large quantity of energy released by the sun and the stars is the result of the conversion of matter into energy. This occurs when the lightest atom, hydrogen, is heated to very high temperatures forming a special gas called "plasma". In this plasma, hydrogen atoms combine, or "fuse", to form a heavier atom, helium. In the process of fusing, some of the hydrogen involved is converted directly into large amounts of energy. There are two primary reasons for pursuing fusion research: the furthering of our understanding of the behavior of plasmas that make up most of the known universe, and the creation of a new energy source. Fusion energy would be a renewable energy technology that offers a significant mix of potential advantages. Fusion fuels are abundant and readily available to all nations. Using fusion energy to generate electricity will neither contribute to global warming or air pollution nor will it create long-lived radioactive waste.

    Extractions: Nuclear energy from fission and fusion Nuclear power is generated either through fusion or through fission. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into light nuclei that are more energetically favorable. Since Iron-56 is the most energetically favorable nucleus, both the fission of heavy nuclei and the fusion of light nuclei can release energy. Fission is the process used in the first nuclear weapons and in power plants. One drawback to its use as a power source is that among the heavy nuclear fragments it produces are radioactive elements with long half-lives. Fission is set off by bringing together a critical mass of an element such as Uranium-235. If a sufficient amount of Uranium is brought together an emitted neutron will most likely be captured, changing the Uranium to U-236, rather than escaping from the surface. Since U-236 decays and produces 2 neutrons, the number of neutrons grows exponentially, and practically all the U-235 nuclei decay in short order. This is called a chain reaction . In a power plant the chain reaction is modified with neutron absorbing rods. Fusion is the source of the sun's energy and is the source of energy in hydrogen bombs. Fusion is an inherently cleaner source of energy, but igniting it in a controlled way has proved problematic. (Fusion "hydrogen" bombs are set off by fission "atomic" bombs which produce a sufficiently high temperature to overcome the Coulomb barrier.)

The energy of any system, whether physical, chemical, or nuclear, is manifested by the system’s ability to do work or to release heat or radiation. The total energy in a system is always conserved, but it can be transferred to another system or changed in form. Until about 1800 the principal fuel was wood, its energy derived from solar energy stored in plants during their lifetimes. Since the Industrial Revolution, people have depended on fossil fuels—coal, petroleum, and natural gas—also derived from stored solar energy. When a fossil fuel such as coal is burned, atoms of hydrogen and carbon in the coal combine with oxygen atoms in air. Water and carbon dioxide are produced and heat is released, equivalent to about 1.6 kilowatt-hours per kilogram or about 10 electron volts (eV) per atom of carbon. This amount of energy is typical of chemical reactions resulting from changes in the electronic structure of the atoms. A part of the energy released as heat keeps the adjacent fuel hot enough to keep the reaction going.

One is the accidental release of fission products if a leak should occur in chemical equipment or the cells and building housing it. Another may be the routine release of low levels of inert radioactive gases such as xenon and krypton. In 1966 a commercial reprocessing plant opened in West Valley, New York. But in 1972 this reprocessing plant was closed after generating more than 600,000 gallons of high-level radioactive waste. After the plant was closed, a portion of this radioactive waste was partially treated and cemented into nearly 20,000 steel drums. In 1996, the United States Department of Energy began to solidify the remaining liquid radioactive wastes into glass cylinders. At the end of the 20th century, no reprocessing plants were licensed in the United States.

Astronomers have known for a long time that the Sun produces a tremendous amount of energy. The first part of this section will try to give you an idea of how much energy it produces. Do not feel bad if you have trouble grasping the amount. It is mind-boggling! There are several ways to generate the amount of energy coming from the Sun. What distinguishes the correct explanation from the other models is how long it can power the Sun. watts. Such a large number is beyond most of our comprehension, so let's put the Sun's total energy output (ie., its luminosity of the largest power plants (nuclear or hydroelectric) on the Earth. Our largest power plants now can produce around 5,000 Megawatts of power. Another way to look at this is that the sun puts out every second of those large power plants would put out every year -that's over two billion!

    Extractions: Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Today's nuclear reactors produce energy from uranium through an atomic fission reaction - that is, radioactive uranium atoms are split apart, and the energy that is released in that fission is harnessed to produce heat and electricity. But nuclear fission poses challenges in maintaining safety, producing fuel, and disposing of nuclear waste. An alternative type of nuclear energy that researchers are seeking to harness is nuclear fusion, in which two smaller nuclei are fused into a larger nucleus. Nuclear fusion reactions release massive amounts of energy, and it is the fusion reaction that gives Hydrogen bombs their extreme destructive power. Many researchers hope that the nuclear fusion reaction can also be safely harnessed for the production of electricity. The benefits that nuclear fusion would offer as a power source are significant: fewer waste products would be produced by fusion reactors than is currently generated by fission reactors and the fuel supply would be less hazardous than the uranium that powers fission reactors. However, the technology to harness nuclear fusion for energy production is still in the early stages of development. At present, reactors seeking to harness fusion power consume more energy in triggering the fusion reaction than they can produce, and a sustained fusion reaction has proven difficult to produce and sustain.

This means that it is mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. Scientists used Einstein's equation as the key to unlock atomic energy and to create atomic bombs. An atom's nucleus can be split apart. This is known as fission. When this is done, a tremendous amount of energy in the form of both heat and light is released by the initiation of a chain reaction. This energy, when slowly released, can be harnessed to generate electricity. When it is released all at once, it results in a tremendous explosion as in an atomic bomb. Nuclear energy can also be harnessed by fusion. A fusion reaction occurs when two hydrogen atoms combine to produce one helium atom. This reaction takes place at all times in the sun, which provides us with the solar energy. This technology is still at the experimental stage and may become viable in future. Uranium is the main element required to run a nuclear reactor where energy is extracted. Uranium is mined from many places around the world. It is processed (to get enriched uranium, i.e. the radioactive isotope) into tiny pellets. These pellets are loaded into long rods that are put into the power plant's reactor. Inside the reactor of an atomic power plant, uranium atoms are split apart in controlled chain reaction. Other fissile material includes plutonium and thorium.

The €10 billion project will generate multiple research opportunities for the Plasma Physics Research Center at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). ITER's future location in Cadarache will be doubly beneficial to EPFL. In its role as a National Center of Competence, The Plasma Physics Research Center (CRPP) is fully integrated with the nuclear fusion research programs within the Euratom-Swiss Confederation framework. CRPP will thus be called upon to participate in various specialized, high technology facets of the reactor's construction. This level of participation will confirm and solidify CRPP's reputation in the plasma physics community. Minh Quang Tran, director of the Center, also holds a position as president of the European Fusion Development Agreement, the organization that coordinates all fusion-related technology as well as all work involving the JET (Joint European Torus), a intermediate-generation tokamak-type experimental fusion reactor.

    Extractions: Commission The atom, the smallest component of any element, contains enormous energy. When it is split a process called fission, this energy is released in the forms of tremendous heat and light. It is this energy that was released on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, by two separate atom bombs in 1945 that led to the conclusion of World War II. The horrors created by those two bombs led the international community to condemn further use of atomic weapons. Still, engineers, governments and scientists realized that if the atom's energy could be controlled and harnessed, it would revolutionize the world's energy markets and provide significant electricity reserves to help meet the world's energy demands. It was even envisioned that it could one day replace the need for fossil fuels. As a result, the first usable electricity from nuclear fission was produced at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in 1951. A History In 1954, The Atomic Energy Act was passed to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Subsequently, in 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was formed to promote peaceful use of nuclear energy and to provide international safeguards and an inspection system to ensure nuclear materials are not diverted from peaceful to military uses. It was later replaced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Energy Research and Development Administration, the latter of which became the US Department of Energy in 1977.
