Ranger Uranium Mine

in Nazi Germany. The experiment consisted of bombarding uranium with neutrons and the result showed that the element was not what they expected. The results showed the element of barium instead of radium. Lise Meitner called this experiment an example of nuclear fission. Many people during this time thought this was amazing feat and beyond belief. When the uranium was bombarded with neutrons the neutrons collided with the atoms in the uranium. This reaction caused the element to split into two…

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…

The Atomic bomb was a type of bomb that could destroy large cities and change warfare forever. In 1939,the Atomic bomb had not been invented yet. Albert Einstein developed many theories that helped scientists make the atomic bomb. The story “Dark They Were and Golden-Eyed” is a comment on the Atomic Bomb. The Atomic bomb is mentioned several times throughout the story,and plays a major role in driving the plot. First,in the article “The Bomb” by Syd Barrett the author writes about how a very…

Letter” Leo Szilard, a hungarian physicist, and Albert Einstein worked together to construct a letter to the United States and to the Belgian ambassador, warning them about an uranium based bomb. Szilard had spent most of 1933 experimenting with how uranium and nuclear fission worked. Hearing talk of Hitler building an uranium based bomb frightened Szilard. He turned to his former colleague, Albert Einstein, to stress the importance of Hitler building an atomic bomb. With Einstein being a Jew…

Elliot Lake has been a known uranium site from the mid-1950s to the 1960s, which has been the cause of many health disruptions in the communities surrounding these sites, for which harmful effects continue to linger because of the radioactive toxins that had contaminated their lakes. Uranium is a very heavy metal which was often used in the creation of nuclear-powered atomic bombs during the cold war and was then progressively used to generate electricity. Exposure to uranium can result in…

In early 1939 scientists found out that German scientists knew how to split a uranium atom, this raised fear because of the possibility that the Nazi’s could produce mass destruction with a bomb. Scientists who fled persecution, like Albert Einstein agreed to inform president Roosevelt about the dangers of atomic technology. In late 1941 the American effort to produce an atomic bomb received the name, “The Manhattan Project.” In the beginning research was conducted at Columbia University,…

How Experts Conceive the Risks Related to the Nuclear Energy Plants The expert in the field of nuclear energy has always argued that the benefits associated cannot even be comparable with limited risk in the nuclear plant. The specialists in this area conceive that the risk involves in the nuclear power plant is of little concern if all the necessary risk measures are put into place (Nuclear Energy Agency, 7). Under the few situation in which nuclear energy power have resulted in been…

In the flame test lab, metal ions are heated on wooden splint in the form of a liquid that were previously soaked in a solution of metals. These electrons get heated at the same temperature, however the energy that is needed to excite each electron in the different metals is not the same. This means that the energy levels that change are now unstable and need to cool down, and as soon as they are moved into the heat source through kinetic energy, a photon of light energy is created and this…

Elements above the atomic number 95 are produced in a particle accelerator by accelerating a small charged nuclei (such as Helium, Boron or Carbon) in a particle accelerator to combine with a heavy nucleus (often of a previously made transuranic element) target. The transuranic elements have short half-lives as the atomic number increases. The smaller nuclei combines within the target nucleus, creating a new unstable nuclide or radioactive isotope. The high speeds are required to overcome the…

gamma particles (γ) are the most known types of radioactive decay despite the fact that there are some more. Alpha decay, α, composes of two neutrons and two protons making alpha particles similar the nucleus of helium. Large components, for example, uranium, radium, and thorium have a greater number of neutrons than they have protons which aids alpha decay to happen. At the point when another atom is made the mass number decreases by four and its atomic number by two after the core discharges…
