Question by freakygirl5767: What are some of the direct uses of nuclear energy fission?

Best answer:

Answer by StateOfTheUnion
Powering boats like aircraft carriers and submarines.

Producing radioactives for medical uses like Technesium99 which is injected into patients to do bone scans.

Possibly used as a starter system for nuclear fission reactors (though this is a theory that has been around for decades and still hasn’t happened)

Really Big Bombs.

Question by Red O: The greatest threat posed by a nuclear (fission) power plant is:?
The greatest threat posed by a nuclear (fission) power plant is:
a.Release of radioactive isotopes when the molten core reaches the water table.
b.Fish kills resulting from use of local rivers for cooling.
c.Having the core melt, ultimately reaching China.
d.Thermonuclear detonation.

Best answer:

Answer by Scott K
In my opinion the wording isn’t very good but I would chose A.
B is not a large concern.. all it does is vent hot water which can disrupt ecosystems but is hardly as dangerous as a meltdown.
C talks about a core meltdown (which is the most dangerous thing), like what happened at Chernobyl. But it would certainly not keep going and reach China. The biggest danger is the airborn radioactivity from a meltdown. The first answer does the best to address this danger.
D does not occur. There is no chance of a detonation from a power plant. It does not use weapons grade material.

Question by : Why do spacecrafts not use nuclear fission for power?
Couldn’t nuclear energy greatly increase the speed and power of a space craft?
@anonymous – what does mass have to do with anything if your are in a no gravity environment? Mass in terms of weight is only an issue in environments with gravity. A space craft using nuclear energy would need to be kept in space at all times obviously.

ploaded by MsMilkytheclown on Sep 20, 2011 Fairewinds Introduces a Japanese Language Edition and Identifies Safety Problems in all Reactors Designed Like Fukushima vimeo.com Gundersen expresses concerns that the nuclear industry and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are not addressing major safety issues that have become evident since Fukushima. These issues include serious design flaws in the BWR Mark 1 containment, fundamental flaws in the Boiling Water Reactor vessel design, and problems with detonation shockwaves. The NRC and the nuclear industry are using a flawed cost benefit computer code that underestimates the value of human life and minimize property damages after an accident, which has the effect of justifying continued operation of reactors without safety modifications.

Question by : Can you you control a nuclear fission reaction to power a spacecraft?
Is it possible to contain a nuclear fission reaction (or better yet, fusion reaction) and direct the thrust from the reaction out the back of a spaceship in order to power it at 0.5 G’s?

Best answer:

Answer by Starrysky
http://settlement.arc.nasa.gov/teacher/lessons/contributed/thomas/Adv.prop/advprop.html for NERVA atomic rocket engine, others. Pretty scary if it pollutes or goes wild.
There are plans to use nuclear engines for low thrust for a very long time on space probes. An early ion rocket has been employed on a comet probe. But to achieve 0.5G will take much more mass and shielding than has been attempted or even planned so far.

From Vision Media Productions. Sue Ion was recently BNFL’s Chief Technology Officer and President of the British Nuclear Energy Society (BNES). She is Vice President and Chairman of the Engineering Policy Committee of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a member of the UK Council for Science and Technology. Sue spoke on the renaissance of nuclear energy as a low carbon energy source. Nuclear fission energy has made a valuable contribution as a clean energy source in numerous countries. In her talk, Sue discusses how various nations are approaching nuclear energy; she looks at the renaissance of nuclear fission especially in developed countries. In her interview Sue discusses UK attitudes towards nuclear energy; improved ways of dealing with nuclear waste; how nuclear production is becoming simpler and safer.

Question by Leopard Gecko 2.0: How would the nuclear power plant explosion in Japan be different from the one in Chernobyl?
Also, If the nuclear power plant in Japan is already experiencing explosions why has it not been blown to pieces yet?

Best answer:

Answer by Alex
Because the explosions, while contaminated with radiation, were not core explosions like what happened in Chernobyl.

That one blew huge chunks of the core fuel all over the place.

Japan is facing not an explosion hazard so much as a meltdown risk.

Question by Swtf: What is a viable alternative to nuclear power generation?
Following Japan’s nuclear problems environmental groups are baying even more for ‘nuclear power generation’ banishment.
Do they have an alternative power source?
Wood?
Coal?
There are problems with these sources as well.

Best answer:

Answer by dawa
there are many alternatives, but the technology has to improve a lot. for example. thermal and solar are one of the best option available for generating clean energy. Hydroelectric power is also one of the cleanest form of energy production, except if don’t consider its effect to the surrounding land and habitats. Another interesting form of energy production can be in a form of Pizeo electric power.. although this technology has to go a long way, but it can be a good option, especially in a populated area and if we prefer local energy production.

Question by Mad Max: How does the balance of power shift if Iran becomes a nuclear power?
It seems to me that it is inevitable that Iran becomes a nuclear power. Bush was unable to stop North Korea, and didn’t stop Iran. Obama is unlikely to go to war in order to stop Iran, and even Israel is unlikely to at this point because the reactors now have nuclear fuel in them.

Once Iran becomes a nuclear power, what other countries will become nuclear powers, and how will this affect the long term strategic interests of the US? How will it change the balance of power in the world?

Best answer:

Answer by Oldwhiteguy2earth
The concern is not so much the balance of power as much as it is the sworn goal of Iran to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Since Muslims will be rewarded in Heaven, someone in the Iranian hierarchy could possibly light up the Middle East without regard for the consequences.

Question by : Why does nuclear fission AND fusion release energy?
The Sun undergoes nuclear fusion, combining hydrogen to form helium and so on, but it also releases light energy in the process. Nuclear fission (splitting the atom), however, also releases light and heat energy. How does this work? I would think that nuclear fusion would take IN energy in order to fuse together the nucleuses of atoms. And then when an atom splits, energy would be released because energy is stored to keep the bond between nuclear particles. So why would both processes release energy?

Best answer:

Answer by Roger S
In both cases the mass of the objects after the reaction is less than before the reaction. The lost mass has been converted into energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
