Nuclear waste is also an issue most people bring up but in our advances in technology we now have proven and effective ways to dispose of the waste. With the amount of uranium we have on the planet and the amount used to create power we have virtually an unlimited supply of fuel. ...
Briefly explain why it is necessary to be careful when disposing of the filter paper salt bridges. Explain why the mining of uranium often pollutes the local environment. What makes the super acid system easily recyclable? Give two reasons why you should never return unused c...
Explain why UV-B radiation can be damaging to us and our environment if it reaches the earth in higher quantities than it does now. Explain why either greatly decreasing or increasing the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is dangerous. Explain why we are ...
This is very comparable to the dangers of depleted uranium. Although it is technically toxic, it has very low acute toxicity and due to it’s density is unlikely to travel as far in the environment as other materials. The tiny trace amounts that civilians may be exposed to are extremely ...
Electricity from coal burning and uranium fission could expand since we have plentiful domestic supplies of both fuels, but the costs of building these power plants—not to mention operations—is more costly and financially risky, as we’ve seen, than building decentralized generating capacity. These...
Just 50 years ago, no one knew why the Earth has mountains. Now we do. This is the story of how we figured it out - and how we keep learning.
In reality, Aboriginal people developed their own knowledge of the chemical elements and their compounds. This includes uranium in its mineral form, which they called sickness rocks because they were aware that mishandling them could cause illness. Moreover, Aboriginal Australians have been using the...
Because of intermittency issues, electricity from wind and solar only substitute for fuels (coal, natural gas, uranium) that operate our current system. Publications often talk about the cost of intermittent electricity being at “grid parity” when its temporary cost seems to match...
an experimental research drug that might prolong your life. I have had ALS I believe since 2017, and the only thing that works is Riluzole. I to believe that it’s neurotoxins that caused my ALS as I worked in areas where I was exposed to Uranium in the late 70’s and ea...
We don’t move to where the oil and gas and uranium deposits are; we send folks out to go get the oil and gas and uranium and bring it back to us for consumption in our homes and at gas stations and nearby nuclear stations.
