Importance of Nuclear Chemistry
Among the several sub categories of science, nuclear chemistry is a remarkable subject which can be used to fulfill the needs of human beings. Nuclear chemistry is the study of the chemistry or the mechanism of radioactive elements such as, Uranium, Actinides, Radium, Radon, etc. (Smith et al.). Nuclear chemistry has a long history which, started in 1896 with the discovery of radioactivity of radium by the famous scientist Marie Curie (Budinger and Jones). Since then nuclear chemistry is being developed to build very sophisticated tools to serve us. And today, nuclear chemistry is used in different fields such as, medical field, power and energy development, automobile, geology, food and agriculture and some …show more content…
For an instance, opponents claim that there are some safety issues with using nuclear power. But, the real situation is that before a nuclear power plantations build, governments choose an area where there is low population. Also, all the nuclear plantations around the world are located in underground with concrete shields having proper thickness to resist any accident which may happen. The incident happened in Three Mile Island in 1979 is a great example of having effective shields to protect the world from nuclear accidents because according to Patrick Moore, Chairman and Chief Scientist Green spirit Strategies Ltd. “Three Mile Island was in fact a success story: The concrete containment structure did just what it was designed to do, prevent radiation from escaping into the environment. And although the reactor itself was crippled, there was no injury or death among nuclear workers or nearby residents.” (Siegrist, Sutterlin, and Keller). In addition to that, all governments have placed the maximum security at nuclear power plants to avoid any terrorist attacks. Therefore, there is no chance that nuclear power plantations to cause damage to human even an explosion happen it’s still safe due to of the proper shielding mechanism. There’s a considerable threat of developing nuclear weapons all around the world. But, the solution for this problem is not to stop the development of nuclear chemistry because even if they were able to stop the development of nuclear chemistry, the powerful countries already possess their own weapons. So, the argument about the nuclear weapons of the oppositions is no longer a part of the development of the nuclear chemistry. Thus, the real challenge about the nuclear weapons is to find proper solutions to the current situation. Consequently, finding new solutions to the argument will be helpful to continue the development of nuclear chemistry so humans can
