Have you ever been watching T.V. and just wondered where the energy that was powering the television was coming from, or how it was made? Well that power source is called nuclear power and many people do not think about nuclear power, or just not pay any attention to nuclear power, but nuclear power is one of the most useful thing to have been discovered. It powers so much. Without nuclear power you would not have electricity to charge Iphones and laptops. With nuclear power we do so much with…

Nuclear Energy - Environment’s rejuvenation or a hazard!! In the early 1930s and 1940s, research was at its pinnacle yet very ‘small’, small in size, not in size of work but in size of the subject- atoms, neutrons, protons and nuclei. The works of Rutherford, Bohr, Einstein, Chadwick, Curie, Frederic, Fermi, Hahn, Strassmann all eventually led to the discovery of Nuclear Power or Energy, which is believed to be the panacea of energy crises that currently exist. It is a boon to the modern…

Psychosocial impact of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident after the Great East Japan Earthquake <Mental health problem and poor health perception in Chernobyl vs. Fukushima> On 11 March 2011, a gigantic tsunami following the Great East Japan Earthquake severely damaged Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and then caused a radiation hazard in Fukushima Prefecture. The residents in Fukushima feared the invisible radiation exposure,…

It began with having a lot going on that has involved weapons made out of nuclear fission and probably makes you think if you think if nuclear fission has harmed society. There many examples what good it’s done for us and many harm that it caused. It has allowed us to use it for greater things but also taken advantage of by using it for weapons of destruction. They’ve already used one on people already and killed many. That is not the way using nuclear fission, they use it for threats, power,…

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” Margaret Thatcher, the first female British prime minister, 1925-2013, stated this meaningful quote.

The quote by Margaret Thatcher can relate to many famous well know people, for example, there was a man named Steve Jobs who was the co-founder and CEO of Apple. As a kid, he acquired a passion for…

When a neutron is absorbed by isotope of X-- given that X is some given element-- another isotope of X is created. Though sometimes these newly-created isotopes of X are very unstable. They may be so unstable, in fact, that they only exist briefly before splitting into two separate and distinct chemicals. Radioactive photons, massive energy, and neutrons are shot out in the surrounding area. As long as more Isotopes of X still exist in the area, this can, in turn, create a grand chain reaction…

Eighteen-thousand people lost their lives on March 11th, 2011 due to the triple disaster in Japan. An earthquake, tsunami, and three meltdowns caused the explosion of a nuclear power plant in Japan. The event was tragic, and out of the control of the workers at Fukushima Daiichi power. Despite certain exposure to radiation fifty brave and selfless workers stayed behind in efforts to control the devastating situation, and seven-hundred and fifty workers were evacuated. In addition to the 50…

Beginning in the 1960’s nuclear power was believed to be an attractive alternative to fossil fuels and was even referred to as the energy source of the future. To the uninformed the use of nuclear energy may seem frightening because the only thing rumored is the negatives like: the waste, major spills of material and disastrous radioactive accidents, but there are many benefits from the use of this energy source such as: saving millions of lives, a mass reduction of pollution, and an advancement…

Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon has more meaning than just a title of a random book. Randy and Mark Bragg, brothers, knew a nuclear war was coming but did not want anyone to know about it. Mark lived in Omaha while Randy lived in Florida. They would communicate back and forth to each other, via telephone or telegram, and “Alas Babylon” was their codename (Frank 14). Codename was a warning for a nuclear war was coming and if it were to spread to the family, they would all freak out. Alas, Babylon had…
