Control rod

The ethical dilemma with the Davids-Beckham power plant is arising after the plant has undergone an outage. During outages, power plants power down in order to perform routine maintenance and inspections along with replacing spent fuel rods if necessary.1 As a nuclear engineer working for the plant, I am under the impression that the outage went well and am even planning to go on a family vacation. However, I realize there were some issues with the outage after talking to a colleague who was tasked with directing the cleanup of boron on the vessel head. He was not able to completely finish his job due to some unforeseen difficulties and the plant’s overall desire to complete the outage as quickly as possible. As a result, I am ethically…

The control rods are what give a steady output of energy after the fission process has taken place. They control the number of spare neutrons as a great amount are produced during a chain reaction with the nuclei. These control rods are usually made of the material cadmium or boran and they absorb excess nuclei in order the control the amount of free flowing neutrons so they do not become to excessive which would create larger amounts of heat. The rate that the energy is produced can be changed…

drum of the motor, and you could smell the pungent odor of gasoline being burned. We had been gliding and bouncing over the dark murkey water for what felt like an eternity before I asked to my grandfather, “Are we there yet.” He replied with a firm “no, but we are getting close.” After that is starting to look out over the water, which the sun had been reflecting its rays of off it, and making it glisten like glitter. For about maybe 10 minutes later the boat lurched to halt in the water…

The majority of what we as humans experience on a daily basis comes from our sense organs. How we experience these things going on around us is based on our perceptions. Perception is the process of recognizing and interpreting sensory stimuli, from our sense organs: eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue. Our vision comes from our sense organ, our eyes and travels to the part of the brain that processes vision, the occipital lobe. From there what we see is a perception of what we are getting from…

big reason for me coming to college was the ability to fish so close to school and experience the outdoors. Through reading the book and interacting in class with it, watching the movie, the workshop experience, and my personal field experience I would say this class is the ideal class for brevard college’s mission statement. The book itself appealed so much to me because the beginning of the book focuses so much on fly fishing itself. The stories of fishing with his brother and father make me…

is attributable to high levels of biodiversity in hosts, vectors, and pathogens which are encouraged by both biological and environmental factors, as well as social factors that sabotage efforts to control diseases (Sattenspiel, 2000). Neglected infectious diseases remain a major global health challenge and include a group of endemic diseases occurring in the impecunious regions of Asia, Africa, and America (Romero, Pimenta and Diament, 2012). The World Health Organization has a list of NIDs,…

which include: the receptive field size, distribution of photoreceptors and illumination. For an individual to view an object, they fixate and place the image of the object on the most sensitive part of the retina, fovea centralis to produce detailed vision. As shown in Figure 2, the fovea has a high number of cone receptors which produce high visual acuity and allows the individual to identify colour and light. A high visual acuity is due “to the 1:1 connection of a cone cell to bipolar cell to…
