Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant

Half-life Carbon dating is used to find the age of fossils, the earth, and rocks. 14C is an unstable isotope that causes radioactive decay. Because 14C causes radioactive decay, it is used in finding the age of organic matter, or the process of Carbon dating. Radioactive decay occurs when one element changes into another element as it decays. As 14C decays, it turns into 14N, an isotope of Nitrogen. Using the original amount of carbon in the organic material, and the half-life of carbon, 5,730…

is a great feat of technological advancement. It gives lots and lots of people clean power. Nuclear power plants create no air pollution which is the the biggest problem in our society today. There is a discussion whether it should stay open or go closed. I think it should stay open because there are way more benefits than negatives. Three Mile Island Is a nuclear power plant just outside of Harrisburg and powers many people's homes. It runs on uranium pellets which are highly radioactive.…

Dr.Jasper Williams was a scientist, He loved his work and experimenting on chemicals. He loved experimenting with metals. His favorite metals were iron,copper,and Chromium. Chromium was his favorite because he wanted it keep the body regulated He was obsessed ad loved how chromium helped regulate the insulin in your body so it can keep you alive. Eventually NASA stopped Dr,Jasper from finishing his research, It would change how people overlook this element. When NASA took his work he was upset.…

Steam Engine To start with, the steam engine train can carry 7.5 ton. Some people thing the steam engine is light, but it weighs 400,000 pounds. But the steam engine has a long history! The steam engine impacts our everyday life, and makes society a better place. In my opinion the steam engine is better being it carries coal from point A to point B. All things considered, it was really a heat engine. It was also built in 1690 by Thomas Savery. It was meant to get water out of mines it was…

JOURNAL TOPIC #3 - SETTING The setting is an integral part of any story, especially a Sci-Fi story. With no setting, the book has no location set with it, which can leave the reader confused and sometimes un-interested. The setting in The Kill Order, written by James Dashner, plays a huge role in the book. It communicates with the reader where these solar flares hit, and really how devastating they were. Dashner uses a really good sense of imagery to describe the setting in the book. Using this…

Some facts before the Hindenburg crashed and what caused it, When they filled up the Hindenburg with food and water it got to heavy and they had to throw out some things so they could land safely. A spark is the reason the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed. The reason the Hindenburg crashed was because a spark hit a hydrogen box and then it filled the ventilation ducts with fire and it spread everywhere and the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed. There have been some theory’s to why the…

class we started an experiment starting with a question. The question was “what recommendations will you give the Alley Cats Bowling Team to build a successful bowling lane?” In order to answer that it all started in background knowledge. Energy is power that can come from physical, chemical, electronic or other resources. Energy lets something more or react in a way, weather it wa happening in that moment or it will happen. Energy can also change from one type of energy to another but cannot…

their nuclei together. Specific isotopes of several different elements can be broken up and will cause a huge about of energy to be release as heat. This reaction of the spitting of the atom is called nuclear fission. Nuclear Fission is a process in which an atom is split…

Since the war of 2070 the world has been a nuclear wasteland with 80% of the world population either dead, mutated, or ghouled. 5% of the world population became raiders with the other 15% surviving as a trader, settler, or explorer. Settlements have great stories but this settlements story is a story that changed east coasts of the wastelands. STORY 200 years after the war, in the caverns of what used to be the Sequoia Forest a settlement is thriving. The town is hovering by being supported on…
