Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant

of the word nuclear it brings thoughts of pollution, sickness, and danger. Nuclear power is so often generalized into something it’s not. Nuclear power provides energy to millions of people throughout the world. It is the driving force behind everyday lives. Along with the benefits, many drawbacks are also present. Nuclear power reminds many of disasters such as Chernobyl or the Japanese nuclear disaster at Fukushima. These disasters, although devastating, can be learned from. Nuclear technology…

s nuclear power worth the risk? Are the positive aspects of nuclear power worth the possible negative outcomes? To use nuclear power, Uranium atoms must split, which is called fission. The heat produced from fission is what makes the water turn into steam. The steam is what makes the turbines turn and the turbines are used to generate electricity. Do the positive effects of using nuclear power out weight the possibility of building nuclear weapons? I think with government regulations and…

to make is true, however, when it comes to mass production of an energy source, the only other substitutes are coal, oil, and nuclear energy, all of which also produce greenhouse gas emissions along with other major issues. Things such as stream and ecological pollution are caused by coal, massive air pollution by acid rain from oil, and the radioactive waste from nuclear energy. This all makes the case that fracking for Natural Gas stands out by far as the…

Kight Period 4A Nuclear Chemistry Yucca Mountain Repository Yucca mountain is a site that has been designed and proposed as the nations only nuclear waste repository. A repository is a place or building where something is stored, in this case, it is nuclear waste. Yucca Mountain is 80 miles north of Las Vegas. It has been appointed as the only area to be examined as the repository. Yucca Mountain was one of the sites proposed for nuclear waste containment as part of the Nuclear Waste Policy…

Stray current corrosion: Stray current is the current which occurs when conductors are placed between high magnetic or electric fields. Presence of stray currents over the PCB surface can generate corrosion problems. The below figure 5 shows severe corrosion damage to micro wave module for 24 GHz. This equipment is built in controlled conditions where water condensation is possible. After few hours of use, severe corrosion was seen on the surface. Figure 5. Stray current corrosion of a micro…

Task 2 Non-destructive testing is an analysis technique used to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage. Advantages Safety Non-destructive tests are designed to maximize both tester and tested product safety. Most of the test are conducted under strict settings to ensure the safety of the testers, and all tested products remain completely undamaged. Reliability Non-destructive testing comes out with accurate results because of the variety of available…

This lab is designed to find the mass of copper produced when excess aluminium is reacted with 2.00g of copper salt [Copper (II) chloride decahydrate]. This will be achieved by dissolving the given amount of copper salt in distilled water and then adding in the aluminium rod. The reaction will commence as copper will begin to form on the aluminium. Calculating the percent yield is commonly used in the atom economy of a chemical reaction, which is a measure of the initial substance which becomes…

The Big Bang Theory is the current theory of the origin of the universe that has largely been accepted by scientists, however it is not one hundred percent correct as modifications of the theory is continuously being developed as new discoveries, observations and calculations are being made. In the beginning in the universe, there was nothing, no space, no matter, no light, no time and no sound. Then there was a sudden explosion of energy which we now call the Big Bang. But there was no BANG…

Geothermal Power Anna,Caroline,Rebekah Geothermal power is a form of renewable energy that taps into the heat from earth’s core. Geothermal energy uses earth’s natural heat to generate electricity and can be generated twenty-four hours a day,unlike other renewable engines. Geothermal power is limited to most areas near tectonic plate boundaries. Alternative energy geothermal is a product from earth’s original formation. It comes from radioactive decay of minerals due to volcanic…

Because fall and and shortly after, winter is among us, we often find ourselves drinking hot coffee and bundling up tightly together by the fireplace in our homes. One may ask themselves, who was the genius to think of such thing as? While many know Benjamin Franklin as being one of America’s founding fathers, many might be surprised to know that he has made many inventions in his life time, including the fireplace that is known as the Franklin Stove. In 1741 Franklin began his design that…
