Peak uranium

The world's common assets are being expended at a disturbing rate. As these assets reduce , individuals will be looking for option sources by which to produce power for warmth and light . The main handy short term answer for the vitality emergency is atomic force. The world's regular assets are being expended at a disturbing rate. As these assets reduce , individuals will be looking for option sources by which to produce power for warmth and light . The main pragmatic short term answer for the…

Miller-Urey Experiment The goal of the Miller-Urey experiment was to recreate the “primordial soup” that was the Earth's early oceans. In the atmosphere, the chemicals H2O, CH4, NH3, and H2, or water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen. Electrical storms were also very common at this point in time, and Miller and Urey's goal was to recreate these circumstances as accurately as possible in order to see if life would currently form under these conditions. They set up a fairly simple contraption that…

Einstein was born on March 14, 1829, also now known as pi day. He was born in the country of Germany. Einstein was a fan of music. He knew how to play the violin and piano. Einstein moved to America in the year of 1933. He was there given a professorship in Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein had done many things in his life. One of his major accomplishments was the “theory of relativity.” This theory gave people a better understanding of space, time, and gravity. He also published a series of…

Leo Szilard once said “Pronouncement of experts to the effect that something cannot be done has always irritated me” . Szilard was born in Hungary but somehow worked with the U.S.A. in World War Two. In the course of his life he went to many universities and studied many subjects until finally settling on physics. Szilard helped create the Atom Bomb, used persistence to innovate ways to help win World War Two and illuminate the world by changing its perspective on warfare. Leo Szilard was an…

Radon is a colorless chemically-unreactive inert gas. You cannot see it, smell it or taste it. The atomic radius is 1.34 angstroms and it is the heaviest known gas. Radon is nine times denser than air. Because it is a single atom gas it easily penetrates many common materials like paper, low density plastic, most paints, and building materials like gypsum board, concrete block, wood paneling, and most insulations. Radon was discovered by Ernest Rutherford and Robert B. Owens in 1899.…

fission by having a speed neutron hit a uranium atom, the uranium atom spit. When the speeding neutron hit the nucleus of the uranium atom the atom stretched until it split. Before this, Niels Bohr had a theory that a nucleus must be “like a wobbly droplet of liquid.” Hahn discovered that this theory was indeed accurate. When Hahn split the atom there was enough energy to make a grain of sand jump, but he was curious to see if he used a larger piece of uranium what would happen, if…

It was 2103rd year, when the humanity has achieved the top of technological and industrial development. Population on Earth has reached it’s to 100 billion people and genetic modified products could not save the whole world from hunger. Oil, metal, wood and water sources has been wasted and scared. But everything changed when the scientists identified the organic material in the earth’s core. It was unbelievable because this material could change own chemical structure and shape by synthesis…

All throughout the world people and countries are searching for ways to replace fossil fuels as an energy source, and one way they try is nuclear power. Nuclear power plants have the potential to be very dangerous to not only the people that live near, but also the entire area. If something goes wrong it could cause an entire swath of land to become uninhabitable for millions of years, basically forever in the spectrum of human life. Therefore it is imperative that before nuclear power plants…

Einstein sent a letter to President Rossvelt, saying he could build an atomic bomb by creating a huge nucular chain reaction. This would be done by using uranium. This would cause lots of damage to a city that was targeted by an Atomic bomb. The First chain reaction took place in Chicago. This was done by Enrico Fermi. He stacked graphite blocks and uranium in a small circular pile and created a nucular chain reaction. Shortly there after the president said yes to the building and creating the…

control rods that are used to control the fission; It is the process of splitting uranium atoms. It generates heat to produce steam. The steam the goes into a turbine that turns a generator. It then creates electricity which travels through the switch yards. Nuclear waste is the stuff that comes from the reactor. The waste is exhausted fuel cells after they come out of the reactor. They are the remains of the fuel Uranium and Plutonium nuclei after they split. They are nuclear waste atoms. There…
