Do nuclear power plants necessarily have to be so big and expensive? Nuclear Power: Go Big or Go Home by Dave Levitan. IEEE Spectrum, September 19, 2012. Nuclear power is on the rise in some countries and on the fall elsewhere, so what's the picture overall?
An understanding of the basics of nuclear fission is needed to fully understand the processes that have led to the world's three major commercial nuclear accidents. Nuclear power plants use heat generated in the atomic fission to generate steam and produce electrical power. The fuels for reactors...
Improved supervision of nuclear power plants has several benefits but is not limited to increasing public confidence, mitigating nuclear energy threats, and increasing nuclear energy production. While this analysis offers valuable insights, notable limitations warrant consideration. Firstly, the research ...
Nuclear power has been called a clean source of energy because the power plants do not release carbon dioxide. While this is true, it is deceiving. Nuclear power plants may not emit carbon dioxide during operation, but high amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted in activities related to buildin...
How do plants grow in space? An experiment at the Tiangong space station can provide the answer. Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗), which may show us how astronauts cancultivatefood to support long-term space flights. ...
But the splendid science behind this amazing trick has less to do with the power plant than with the fuel it burns. The real magic isn't that power plants turn fuel into electricity: it's that even small amounts of fossil fuels contain large amounts of energy. A kilogram of coal or ...
