Nuclear fission

Nuclear power seems to be a perfectly viable sustainable energy option to satiate our present and future energy needs. There are fewer greenhouse gas emissions and far less waste production when compared to conventional energy sources. So, what seems to be the problem? As good as it is, Nuclear power does have it’s drawbacks and comes with it’s own set of challenges. Even though the amount of waste produced, is far less, it is highly toxic and nuclear waste disposal is a big challenge. Most…

I am Avery Anthony, a scientist at Ex Machina Labs, super human testing. You're probably wondering what happened, i’ll tell you. I was fascinated by the the dragonfly so I started to test it on NOV. 26 2023. 1:16 am. I removed the DNA for a dragonfly and dropped it onto a fire ant. wings in 6 hours 47 minutes, it flew around the room for 2 hours 35 minutes before it died due to overdose. The next day. As I wrote down notes, I tipped the DNA on my foot. It began to form my new body. That is why…

Abstract: My research paper is covering the different theories covering the origins of life. Primordial Soup: The primordial soup theory says that life began in a lake or ocean as a combination of chemicals created amino acids, and from there life evolved. A Russian chemist named A.I. oprin and an English geneticist named J.B.S. Haldane came up with this theory in 1920. to test this theory they collected and mixed elements thought to be on earth at the time and sparked the mixture with…

What would run through one’s mind when they are faced with the devastation of a nuclear blast? In the short story “Grace Period” by Will Baker, a man finds himself in a horrifying situation where a nuclear bomb has been detonated over his town. With the clues left behind, readers can match what is happening with the information in the article “Nuclear Weapon Effects” by John Pike. The article describes how nuclear bombs work and the mass destruction that is created. Having this knowledge, one…

negotiations started to take place due to an increased tension of nuclear testing. Over seventy-one world leaders signed a document called the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty including the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Nuclear testing was becoming an issue amongst countries worldwide, so many came together to stand up against nuclear testing by signing the Nuclear Test Ban.  Historical Context In the mid 1950’s, testing of nuclear weapons got…

The world was on the verge of another world war with the axis powers on one side against the allied powers on the other side. and it all started with a scientist named Leo Szilard, who had the idea that splitting atoms would generate a huge amount of energy, he defected from Germany when Germany under Hitler started to persecute against their scientists. his idea of creating energy from splitting atoms couldn't be proven that it worked because he was splitting the wrong atoms but when he saw a…

earthquake and tsunami triggered the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station located in the Pacific Ocean coast received huge damage by the earthquake and tsunami. The piping facility in the building, the facilities for the external power supply and backup power were destroyed. The next day, 12th in the early morning, the leakage of radioactive materials had been found in front of the main gate of the nuclear power plant. Although, there have been…

The Manhattan Project was code name for called the atomic bomb includes the large amount uranium and plutonium developed by government during World war ll. Cooperated with British and Canadian scientists were nuclear expert. Over 100,000 scientists and engineers worked on the project and the project cost a total of 2 billion dollars. The first test was done on June 16, 1945 at the Los Alamos laboratory in the New Mexican desert. The gigantic explosion was flash of light and has to visible for…

Nuclear engineering is a very beneficial career. You are in a position to help the world move forward as a whole. Nuclear engineers help pave the way to the future with, new medicines and new inventions, but the job isn't for everyone, with their use of math and science they learned in college it can take a toll on someone not up for the task, other than that the job is like most others you are in an office but get paid fairly well . With the use of math and many other sciences this might not be…

When the nuclear fusion was created in 1934 by Physicist Enrico Fermi, it opened a new door to the universe that has become very significant within our modern society (History of Nuclear Energy). Nuclear fusion led to the findings of nuclear energy used today to power our electricity. The state with the most amount of nuclear energy used is within the Mississippi and the large production of nuclear energy within Mississippi is very harmful towards the surroundings and the ecosystem around…
