Radioactive waste is the material that nuclear fuel becomes after it’s used‚ thus‚ creating radioactive waste. Most is Uranium‚ containing around 90%. Meaning it is still usable fuel. Used nuclear fuel is extremely hot and radioactive. It is usually handled by storing it under water with a dense material such as concrete or steel. The waste ranges from low to high-level‚ High-level wastes are cooled and shielded while the low-level waste is handled easily with minimum protection. It is unsure on

in Japan is still fresh. But what made it worst is when the nuclear power plant in Japan exploded. The event released massive amounts of radiation into the community and has infected a lot of people. Today‚ there is a proposal to open the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. I admit that I am afraid of the fact that the scenario that happened in Japan might happen to us Filipinos as well. For me‚ I do not agree with the proposal. Opening the nuclear power plant in Bataan was proposed because it offers a lot

Advantages of a nuclear family are: 1.) Stability. A child raised by the same two parents during their maturing years is more likely to have emotional bonding and relationship stability. Children raised by a single parent will likely have a sense of loss for the missing parent and lack the advantage of duel insights‚ emotional support and examples that come from having both a mother and a father. 2.) Legacy. A nuclear family of a husband and wife provides a life long consistancy of purpose

Especially in the Middle East when a country reveals information about its nuclear program‚ the west considers this country as a threat and tries all possible ways to stop this program. B. Thesis Statement. Nuclear energy is a double edged sword. It is every country’s right to own nuclear weapons as a defence mechanism against any outside threat. A country that owns a nuclear weapon is feared and respected

1. INTRODUCTION An engine is a device which transforms one form of energy into another form. Most of the engines convert thermal engine to mechanical work and therefore they are called heat engine. Heat engine can be broadly classified into two types. i. Internal combustion engine ii. External combustion engine 1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE:- This type of engine is again classified into two types. i. Rotary ii.

approved of the funding for the nuclear weapon because of several events prior to his public announcement. One of the reasons was the fact that the United States had lost its nuclear supremacy when the Soviet Union successfully detonated an atomic bomb at their test site in Kazakhstan in 1949. Another reason why he decided to fund experiments for nuclear weapons is because the British and U.S. intelligence discovered that Klaus Fuchs‚ a top-ranking scientist in the U.S. nuclear program‚ was a spy for the

For the purposes of our assignment I will attempt to put Richard Branson in a sort of box that he would surely object to and would certainly pop out of like a jack-in-the- box. The difficulty with attempting to analyze the leadership style of Branson is that everything that has been written about him prefaces his achievement with his larger than life personality.
