Nuclear energyis the energy released by a chain of reaction, specifically by nuclear fission or fusion in the reactor. The source of fuel used to generate nuclear energy is mined and processed uranium (enriched uranium), which is utilized to generate steam and produce electricity. As of today,...
Discovered in the early 1800s, thorium is an element that is slightly radioactive. In this lesson, the pros and cons of using the element thorium for nuclear power are discussed. Introduction Energy is necessary within our society. It allows us to drive to work, get a coffee, and turn on...
1. They show for instance how magnetic confinement schemes completely dominate fusion discussion. Density is, what, 5-6 orders of magnitude different between implosion and mag confinement so that's not useful by itself. Confinement times (Larson), AFAICT, are not relevant to accelerator (driven)...
There is also the longer-term promise of moving away from nuclear fission, which has been the means of generating power since the 1960s, to the fusion era. Nuclear fission splits the atom to create the energy in power stations, and is also used in nuclear weapons. Nuclear fusion me...
