Tsunamis Iraq Terrorism U.S. Gas Prices Nuclear Power (c) FreeFoto.com Nuclear power plants are very clean and efficient to operate. However, nuclear power plants have some major environmental risks. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive gases. These gases are to be contained in the operation of the plant. If these gases are released into the air, major health risks can occur. Nuclear plants use uranium as a fuel to produce power. The mining and handling of uranium is very risky and radiation leaks can occur. The third concern of nuclear power is the permanent storage of spent radioactive fuel. This fuel is toxic for centuries, handling and disposal is an ongoing environmental issue. In The United States there are 110 commercial reactors in 32 states. Six of these states rely on nuclear power for more than 50 percent of their energy.Worldwide, 434 reactors generate electricity in 33 countries. Nuclear Fission An atom's nucleus can be split apart. When this is done, a tremendous amount of energy is released. The energy is both heat and light energy. This energy, when let out slowly, can be harnessed to generate electricity. When it is let out all at once, it makes a tremendous explosion in an atomic bomb. The word fission means to split apart.

Extractions: What makes the sun shine? How does the sun produce the vast amount of energy necessary to support life on earth? These questions challenged scientists for a hundred and fifty years, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century. Theoretical physicists battled geologists and evolutionary biologists in a heated controversy over who had the correct answer. Why was there so much fuss about this scientific puzzle? The nineteenth-century astronomer John Herschel described eloquently the fundamental role of sunshine in all of human life in his 1833 Treatise on Astronomy: The sun's rays are the ultimate source of almost every motion which takes place on the surface of the earth. By its heat are produced all winds,...By their vivifying action vegetables are elaborated from inorganic matter, and become, in their turn, the support of animals and of man, and the sources of those great deposits of dynamical efficiency which are laid up for human use in our coal strata. Sunshine makes life possible on earth.

http://www.fusion.org.uk/focus/

Extractions: Fusion power: Safe and clean FUSION power offers the potential of an almost limitless source of energy for future generations but it also presents some formidable scientific and engineering challenges. It is called 'fusion' because it is based on fusing light nuclei such as hydrogen isotopes to release energy. The process is similar to that which powers the sun and other stars. Effective energy-producing fusions require that gas from a combination of isotopes of hydrogen - deuterium and tritium - is heated to very high temperatures (100 million degrees centigrade) and confined for at least one second. One way to achieve these conditions is to use magnetic confinement. The most promising configuration at present is the tokamak, a Russian word for a torus-shaped magnetic chamber. See an animated schematic of the fusion reaction Much of the early work on fusion was undertaken by universities, before being centered at Harwell and Aldermaston. The original large-scale experimental fusion device on which British physicists worked during the 1940s and 50s was housed in a hangar at Harwell. The device called ZETA - Zero Energy Toroidal Assembly was at first, shrouded in secrecy but with the temporary thaw in the Cold War created in the late 1950s by the visit of Kruschev and Bulganin. The Russians by bringing their leading fusion expert Academician I V Kurchatov to give a lecture "The Possibility of Producing Thermonuclear Reactions in a Gas Discharge" revealed their own work in the field and we shared our experience with ZETA. International co-operation began and is an absolute prerequisite in the development of fusion research given the long time- scales and high costs involved.

"If this proves possible — and it's still a big 'if' — sonofusion could become a revolutionary new energy source," they write. They also say that other groups may soon have new findings to confirm that sonofusion works. "Now at least five groups — three in the United States and two in Europe — are working on reproducing our sonofusion results," they write. "Some have apparently already succeeded and are now preparing to publish their findings." For more than half a century, thermonuclear fusion has held out the promise of cheap, clean, and virtually limitless energy. But after spending billions of dollars on research, we have yet to identify an economically viable fusion technology that can steadily produce more energy than it consumes. Today, researchers are using enormous lasers or powerful magnetic fields to trigger limited fusion reactions among deuterium and other hydrogen isotopes. Results are promising and yet still modestand so the challenge remains.

These things don't happen with Fusion and we have written this section to clarify what Fission is, and how it is NOT fusion. Fusion Alternative The Difference between Fission and Fusion Fission and Fusion are both nuclear energy, but when people discuss nuclear power, they are usually referring to nuclear fission. This is because we have many nuclear power plants that use fission, but no one has been able to build a working fusion plant yet. The main difference between fission and fusion is that in fission, a large nucleus is split into two smaller ones, and in fusion, two nuclei are combined into one. Both processes release vast quantities of energy. (See simple animation of

Extractions: The technology, in theory, could lead to a new source of clean energy and a host of portable detectors and other applications. The new findings were detailed in a peer-reviewed paper appearing in the May issue of the journal Nuclear Engineering and Design . The paper was written by Yiban Xu, a post-doctoral research associate in the School of Nuclear Engineering, and Adam Butt, a graduate research assistant in both nuclear engineering and the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. A key component of the experiment was a glass test chamber about the size of two coffee mugs filled with a liquid called deuterated acetone, which contains a form of hydrogen known as deuterium, or heavy hydrogen. The researchers exposed the test chamber to subatomic particles called neutrons and then bombarded the liquid with a specific frequency of ultrasound, which caused cavities to form into tiny bubbles. The bubbles then expanded to a much larger size before imploding, apparently with enough force to cause thermonuclear fusion reactions. Fusion reactions emit neutrons that fall within a specific energy range of 2.5 mega-electron volts, which was the level of energy seen in neutrons produced in the experiment. The experiments also yielded a radioactive material called tritium, which is another product of fusion, Xu and Butt said.

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.

http://www.nuc.umr.edu/nuclear_facts/history/history.html

Extractions: DOE/NE-0088 The History of Nuclear Energy Energy from the Atom Although they are tiny, atoms have a large amount of energy holding their nuclei together. Certain isotopes of some elements can be split and will release part of their energy as heat. This splitting is called fission. The heat released in fission can be used to help generate electricity in powerplants. Uranium-235 (U-235) is one of the isotopes that fissions easily. During fission, U-235 atoms absorb loose neutrons. This causes U-235 to become unstable and split into two light atoms called fission products. The combined mass of the fission products is less than that of the original U-235. The reduction occurs because some of the matter changes into energy. The energy is released as heat. Two or three neutrons are released along with the heat. These neutrons may hit other atoms, causing more fission. A series of fissions is called a chain reaction. If enough uranium is brought together under the right conditions, a continuous chain reaction occurs. This is called a self-sustaining chain reaction. A self-sustaining chain reaction creates a great deal of heat, which can be used to help generate electricity. Nuclear powerplants generate electricity like any other steam-electric powerplant. Water is heated, and steam from the boiling water turns turbines and generates electricity. The main difference in the various types of steam-electric plants is the heat source. Heat from a self-sustaining chain reaction boils the water in a nuclear powerplant. Coal, oil, or gas is burned in other powerplants to heat the water.

The exhibition area Nuclear Energy is thus subdivided into these two topics. After an introduction into the history of nuclear physics and the basic physical principles nuclear fusion is presented first. Nuclear fusion Nuclear fusion means the combination of two separate atomic nuclei into a new one. Since the end of the 40s scientists have used different kinds of experimental set-ups in order to meet the fusion conditions. Today research concentrates on the fusion of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T). The goal is building a fusion power plant for the production of electricity. Plasma Experiment One of the conditions for nuclear fusion are very high temperatures. At these temperatures the hydrogen atoms are ionized, resulting in a so-called plasma. The hot plasma is locked into a "magnetic cage" because it must be kept away from the fusion chamber walls. How this can be done is demonstrated in an experiment ASDEX-Upgrade model (Octant section of the plasma chamber) Original and model experimental set-ups show how the scale of the experiments has grown throughout the some 50 year old history of nuclear fusion. Next to the "Wendelstein IIa" apparatus of the 60s, a magnetic coil of the present experiment "Wendelstein-7 AS" is shown, as well as a working model of the ASDEX-Upgrade experiment (scale 1:1).
