Introduction Of Nuclear
INTRODUCTION
Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) or former Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT) responsible researching nuclear technology and associated technology in Malaysia. Among the main activities of the Nuclear Malaysia is a research and technology development, technical services, human resource development and external relations. Malaysian Nuclear experts affiliated with experts from the National University of Malaysia to develop technologies radioactive, nuclear energy, biotechnology and research in tissue culture quality tree seeds. All facilities, laboratories and offices Nuclear Malaysia is located on two main complexes, complex of Bangi MINT and complex of MINT Dengkil Road. Complex of Bangi MINT in Hulu Langat District is an area of about 66 acres while complex of MINT Dengkil Road in Sepang District is an area of about 206 acres. Nuclear Malaysia was established in 1972 as an International Atomic Energy Research Tun Dr Ismail (PUSPATI). Then in 1983 it was named the Nuclear Energy Unit (UTN) when it is placed under the prime minister department. Then, it is being transferred to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment in October 1990. On August 10, 1994, then it was called the Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research (MINT). On 28 September 2006, MINT was again given a new identity as the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) until now. Nuclear Malaysia have the only nuclear reactor in Malaysia, PUSPATI Triga Reactor (RTP). It was first used in 1982. Like other Triga reactor, it is used only for research and development, training and education. The first location we were taken was a polymer lab. At there, we learn about sago starch, tensile, impact and such more. Sago starch, an important agricultural commodity of Malaysia, can be radiation modified to improve its functionality, diversify its applications and increase value added sago products. In this study, modification is achieved

    the entire nuclear rollercoaster started way back in the year 1939. It all started with a letter, a letter from one of the smartest men in the history of this entire world. Even though Albert Eistein had no direct involvement with the "Manhattan Project" he did serve as the spark plug for the whole operation.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to determine the mass thickness attenuation factor for beta rays when they pass through polyethylene sheets of varying thicknesses. This was done by using an apparatus that measured the seven different intensities and then taking these values, putting them through a number of calculations and finally generating a graph of ln(I_corr) versus the thickness of the polyethylene sheets. Once this graph was created, it was possible to apply a linear fit and using that, it was possible to determine the slope of the line. The slope was then used to calculate the mass thickness attenuation factor which ended up being (0.197m ± 0.008) g/cm2. This value was then compared to the theoretical value of 0.2 g/cm2 through a percent…

    In order to remain at the forefront of technological innovation and industrial prowess, the United States must become cognizant that the use of nuclear energy is by far the most efficient policy regarding the creation of power despite the possible risks. This is the belief of William Tucker, the author of the New York Times published article, “Why I Still Support Nuclear Power, Even after Fukushima”.…

    Many American’s assume that nuclear waste can be more dangerous than natural radioactive substances already present in the Earth currently. However, Richard Muller challenges this assumption in his chronicle “Nuclear Waste” by demonstrating the mathematical differences concerning the half-life of numerous radioactive substances. Basically, Muller is warning that “the dangers of storing our waste at Yucca Mountain to be small compared of the dangers of not doing so, and significantly smaller than the other dangers we ignore,” throughout his article. (p.254) Likewise, it has become common to dismiss the other present vulnerabilities, such as the “left over uranium in the soil,” earthquakes and rising mountains that Muller expresses in “My…

    When the first atomic bomb was detonated in Alamogordo New Mexico on June 16, 1945, all the scientists involved in the Manhattan Project understood the great destructive power of radio-active isotopes. Although the atomic bomb was a very destructive force our world would not be as good without it. Because of the government funding involved in the project coupled with the need for an atom bomb, much research that otherwise may not have occurred took place in the US. The Manhattan project opened the door to nuclear advancements and applications.…

    Uranium one of about 118 elements on our great periodic table. It is the 92nd element in the Periodic Tale and it can be found on the last group on the periodic table, or period 7. Its element symbol is U, with an atomic mass of 92; A Molar Mass of 238.028910, and 92 electrons as well as protons and a total of 6 valance electrons. Its melting point is 2,070 degrees Fahrenheit (1,132 degrees Celsius, or 1405.372 K) and with a boiling point of 7,468 degrees Fahrenheit (4,131 degrees Celsius, or 4404.261 K) according to “Royal Society of Chemistry”. In nature, it is a silver/whitish and shiny metal that is both ductile and malleable. Unlike most metals this one is highly toxic, being both chemical and radiologically.…

    Nuclear energy uses nuclear fission to generate heat. Nuclear fission is where atoms are split apart which releases energy. All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is where a neutron hits a uranium atom and splits it releasing a large amount of energy. More neutrons are released when a uranium atom splits hitting more uranium atoms. This is called a nuclear chain reaction.…

    We all know that energy on earth is running out, but what if we could use stars? Stars contain so much energy, if we could harvest it, we would never run out of energy. Energy from stars could be the energy source we are looking for. Energy is something we probably take for granted, we use so much of it everyday, and our current energy source, fossil fuels, releases gases into the environment, but with energy from stars, it could be a fresh start for our energy sources and our environment.…

    In ww2 , the atomic bomb was dropped on japan to put an immediate end to the war and not draw other countries (i.e. the soviet union or china) into fighting combatively against the U.S. As far as foreign relations go, it proved to the world that the U.S was the most powerful country in that time ( superpower) . This also relates to several years later during the cold war. It prompted the Soviet Union to develop their own nuclear warfare. (i.e us comes out with hydrogen bomb and a year later USSR develops one). It's also the first introduction of Nuclear weapons to the world…

    Wouldn't you want to create and operate nuclear plants and machinery. Nuclear engineers work to harness and use the energy given off from nuclear reactions. Nuclear engineers work, monitor, and create new nuclear powered things that humanity can use. Since 1939, the use of nuclear powered devices and machines have been in use, and is growing continually. That is why I want to be a nuclear engineer.…
