Radioiodine production Radioiodine is defined as a radioactive isotope of the chemical element Iodine. Although there are at least 37 different Iodine radioisotopes, only four of them are used as tracers or therapeutic agents in medicine; these are 123-I, 124-I, 125-I, and 131-I, with the latter being the most common in clinical practice. Essentially all industrial production of radioiodine isotopes involves four aforementioned radionuclides. History of radioiodine production and usage The…

subsistence farming and herding and limited transportation network has greatly effected in the economy of Niger. Not only this, the economy in the recent years has been affected by the terrorist activity, kidnappings near its uranium mines, instability in Mali and low uranium prices. Niger has sizable reserves of oil and oil production which began in 2012 along with refining and exports are expected to grow through 2016. (Indexmundi,…

bomb has a completely different origin than some may think, is being improved on today and will continue to be used into the future. The atomic bomb, commonly referred to as nuclear bomb, is a high energy blast bomb that is powered by splitting uranium atoms, in which creates energy similar to a thousand suns at the blast area. The…

laboratory research. After this Urey wrote several papers on his methods of the separation of isotopes. Then at the start of World War II Urey was asked to assist the U.S government’s program to separate the uranium isotope^235 from the isotope of uranium^238 which is more abundant than the uranium isotope^235. This would be used in the atomic…

Nuclear weapons were introduced into the world in 1945 ending the WW2. The main purpose of them was guised to “protect” the people of the world when it was truly created for another reason. We know what nuclear weapons can do, it has both short term effects and long term effects and also highly destructive, yet we still construct more of them. In total, there are about 23 000 nuclear weapons in the world (Walker, Countdown to Zero). Clearly, that is way too much weapons that cause mass…

The country of Niger has never really been able to keep up with their own economic issues because of the lack of jobs that are being provided and the very little product that is being produced. Niger used to be a very big leader in the selling of Uranium Ore, and they had a ton of product for…

Atomic bombs and nuclear weapons generally are very disputable and controversial issue. Almost 64 years ago, on 6th and 9th of August, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ostensibly, this use can be justified as a direct means to the end of the World War II in Asia-Pacific region. Up to now, Americans consider this act defensible. Truman, who was president of the USA in years 1945-1953 has always relentlessly vendicated his radical and controversial step in August 1945.…

1938 when Otto Hahn accidentally discovers atomic fission during an experiment in his lab, he sets off a chain of events that forever change the world. As the words spreads through the scientific community, it quickly becomes evident that splitting uranium atoms could be used to create a bomb with massive…

CALCIUM Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. The body needs calcium to maintain strong bones and to carry out many important functions. Not having enough calcium can cause many health problems. Calcium insufficiency also causes weak bones and tooth decay. This is because almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth. This program will help you better understand the importance of calcium in the body and how you can make sure you are getting the right amount. Calcium is the chemical…

Marie Sklodowska Curie was a Polish chemist who was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw. Exceeding all expectations, Curie excelled in and outside of the classroom by achieving a masters degree in physics and math. Curie was also the only woman of her time to win the Nobel Peace Prize twice in chemistry and in physics. Having one of the world’s most brilliant minds, Marie Curie discovered the field of atomic physics, polonium, leading to the development of the atom bomb, and radium, which paved…
