Plutonium

The Manhattan Project was in the early 1939. The German have found out how to make the first Uranium atom bomb. The Uranium atom bomb can do a lot of damage to a place if it happen to go off. Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi felt the need that the president needed to know of the great danger that may be ahead of them. Fermi traveled all the way to Washington to tell the government officials his concern, not a lot of them shared the same uneasiness that he did. Einstein then had to send a letter…

Nuclear Energy From flipping a switch to see the other end of your room at night, to developing this very document, electricity is a necessity humans in our country may simply never live without. We’ve learned to adapt to a society that has only taught us how to utilize its purpose, but are rarely taught about the consequences caused by generating the electricity through coal mines, and that there are alternative options to save our planet. Nuclear energy is alternative energy source…

On August 9, 1945, a second bomb was dropped over the Japanese city of Nagasaki. This plutonium bomb, called "Fat Man", was more powerful than Little Boy. Nagasaki is located in between mountains so it reduced the bomb 's effects. It destroyed two point six miles of the city and forty thousand civilians were killed instantly. There were no…

Nuclear Energy - Environment’s rejuvenation or a hazard!! In the early 1930s and 1940s, research was at its pinnacle yet very ‘small’, small in size, not in size of work but in size of the subject- atoms, neutrons, protons and nuclei. The works of Rutherford, Bohr, Einstein, Chadwick, Curie, Frederic, Fermi, Hahn, Strassmann all eventually led to the discovery of Nuclear Power or Energy, which is believed to be the panacea of energy crises that currently exist. It is a boon to the modern…

In the book “The Making of the Atomic Bomb”, the author Richard Rhodes argues that the “Atomic Age” was almost entirely brought to being by Jewish and semitic groups. Through this extensive 800 page book, Rhodes brings up bonafide historical events, records, and interviews to compile a piece of work that not only encapsulates the emotions and ideological stirring of the time, but also the immersive science that went into the bomb that changed the world. This book doesn 't just begin with…

“Welcome to Hiroshima” was written by Mary Jo Salter in 1895. The poem was published 40 years after the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. The bombing happened on August 6th, 1945 approximately at 8:15. The bombing of Hiroshima killed nearly 140,000 civilians, and it was tragic event that made outside which was the United States. However, the title expressed a sense of welcome for the Americans. It has also shown that people in Hiroshima are open minded about the tragic past, and…

The Political Cyber Warfare: Stuxnet It is no exaggeration to say that the development of the Internet leads the world in the twenty-first century. The Internet globalizes the world quickly by forming a network among countries. However, the advancement of cyberspace makes international information flow abnormally fast. As a result, governments cannot monitor and control what information is exchanged in their countries. The aspect of the difficulty regulating the network generates cyber-crimes…

Out line Introduction: I recommend that Japan uses renewable energies rather than nuclear energy. Paragraph 1: Japan’s geographical feature (ring of fire) Paragraph 2: The nuclear power plant accident occurred in Japan recently. Paragraph 3: Japan’s economy, ecosystem damaged by the radiation. Paragraph 4: what happens when exposed to radiation? Paragraph 5: Advantage of using nuclear energy Paragraph 6: Disadvantages of using nuclear energy Paragraph 7: How many renewable energies are there,…

In this new era of 21th century, our world is surrounded by energy even our eating foods also having energy which is chemical energy. In physics, energy is defined as a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or be converted into many different forms (encyclopedia 2016). Energy can be differentiated into two groups which is renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy group is defined as the group of energy which can be replenished naturally in a short period…

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…
