  • generated using Uranium
  • Produces huge amounts of energy
  • without the pollution that you'd get from burning fossil fuels.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by
  • nuclear fission: neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.
  • Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel.

    Website states that "Uranium is the most efficient power plant fuel. A single uranium fuel pellet, about the size of a pencil eraser, contains as much energy as: *149 gallons of oil *157 gallons of gasoline *1,780 pounds of coal *17,000 cubic feet of natural gas Nuclear power is carbon-free and emits no greenhouse gases. It produces 20 percent of America's electricity and almost 75 percent of all emission-free power generation, nationwide."

  • As its name implies, radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously. This is done by an atomic nucleus that, for some reason, is unstable; it "wants" to give up some energy in order to shift to a more stable configuration.

How Does Radiation Affect Humans? - 0 views

www.hss.energy.gov/...intro_9_5.html

shared by JAVIER L on 17 May 11 - No Cached
  • Radiation may come from either an external source, such as an x-ray machine, or an internal source, such as an injected radioisotope. The impact of radiation on living tissue is complicated by the type of radiation and the variety of tissues.
  • Altering chemical bonds may change composition or structure. Ionizing radiation is powerful enough to do this. For example, a typical ionization releases six to seven times the energy needed to break the chemical bond between two carbon atoms.
  • It takes much longer for the biological effects to become apparent. If the damage is sufficient to kill the cell, the effect may become noticeable in hours or days.
