Nuclear fission energy is considered to be somewhere between the holy grail, required to solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about future energy sources and the possible contribution from nuclear energy are often dominated ...
Nuclear binding energy, the energy required to separate an atomic nucleus completely into its constituent protons and neutrons, or, equivalently, the energy that would be liberated by combining individual protons and neutrons into a single nucleus. For e
Nuclear energy:There are other low-carbon sources of energy. Why should we choose nuclear? Compared to all other common energy sources, nuclear energy has three significant advantages that are not widely appreciated: high capacity factor [DOE, 2020], long service life [Statista, 2023], ...
Nuclear Fast Facts It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of green energy, but nuclear has been contributing to the UK's electricity generation for decades. Nuclear generates electricity with very low carbon emissions and has an important role to play in our energy ...

If American medicine were a patient, he would weigh 350 pounds and be gaining fast. Despite being repeatedly counseled about the dangers of morbid obesity, he would be making at best half-hearted attempts to mend his gluttonous (excessive drinking and eating) ways. Meanwhile, his doctors, insu...
The Future of Nuclear Energy: Facts and Fiction Chapter I: Nuclear Fission Energy Today Nuclear fission energy is considered to be somewhere between the holy grail, required to solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about fu...
relatively fast or the coupling-to-particle motion stronger, collective energy can be transformed into internal excitation (heat) energy of the nucleons. (This is analogous to heating in the motion of a viscous fluid.) In such a “non-adiabatic” process the mixing among the single-particle ...
August 21, 2010 - Iran begins fueling its first nuclear energy plant, in the city of Bushehr. December 5, 2010 - Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran's atomic chief and acting foreign minister, announces that Iran's nuclear program is self-sufficient and that Iran has begun producing yellowcake, an ...
