Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine has been around for more than 50 years now and stems from the discovery of x-rays and artificial radioactivity. In 1946‚ nuclear medicine made a monumental breakthrough when radioactive iodine led to the complete disappearance of cancer in a patient’s thyroid. Nuclear medicine became widely used in the 1950’s to measure the function of the thyroid‚ to diagnose thyroid disease‚ and for the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism. By the 1970’s nuclear medicine

In spring of 1989‚ two scientists by the name of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann announced that they had found a way to create nuclear fusion in a relatively simple and cheap way. Superhot fusion is the process in which deuterium‚ a heavier form of hydrogen‚ is held within a magnetic field and heated to tens of millions of degrees. The nuclei of the atoms fuse‚ and heat energy is released. This kind of fusion happens in our solar system’s sun. This type of fusion is known to occur‚ but recreating

In nuclear chemistry‚ nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are different types of reactions that release energy due to the presence of high-powered atomic bonds between particles found within a nucleus. In fission‚ an atom is split into two or smaller‚ lighter atoms. Fusion‚ in contrast‚ occurs when two or smaller atoms fuse together‚ creating a larger and heavier atom. In both reactions‚ large amounts of energy are produced‚ with the only difference that fusion generates three or four times more energy
