    allay such concerns include international fuel supply mechanisms and the possibility of a co-operative approach to nuclear power development within ASEAN. Southeast Asia’s nuclear energy aspirations connect with Australia’s role as a major world uranium supplier. Australia will also want to ensure that nuclear power in the region develops safely and in a context of international co-operation. This could involve using existing frameworks for technical assistance as well as greater attention in high-level

    Abstract This paper discusses radon gas‚ which is produced as a byproduct of the natural decomposition of uranium in rocks‚ soil‚ and water. Gas build-up in enclosed dwellings such as houses‚ apartment and office buildings‚ factories‚ and schools is a major concern in many parts of the country. Human exposure to high concentrations of this gas for extended periods of time can be extremely damaging to health. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer‚ and it is estimated that 15%

    Nuclear power stations work in fossil fuel-burning stations‚ except that a "chain reaction" inside a nuclear reactor makes the heat instead.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.Carbon dioxide gas or water is pumped through the reactor to take the heat away‚ this then heats water to make steam.The steam drives which drivegenerators

    1. a) Democritus reasoned that if matter could be infinitely divided‚ it was also subject to complete disintegration from which it can never be put back together. However‚ matter can be reintegrated. b) In Greek‚ the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos‚ a Greek word meaning uncuttable. All matter is composed of atoms‚ which are bits of matter too small to be seen. These atoms CANNOT be further split into smaller portions. 2. At

    bomb uses nuclear fission‚ meaning it releases energy from the breaking of bonds in atoms. In the case of Little Boy‚ the atom undergoing fission is uranium-235. Little Boy is considered a gun-type atomic bomb‚ meaning a projectile‚ made of uranium‚ is fired at a target‚ also composed of uranium. The uranium achieves critical mass‚ causing the uranium-235 to start a chain reaction (Little Boy‚ 2014). This chain reaction is what devastated Hiroshima and helped end World War

    Becquerel discovered radiation by studying the effects of x-rays on photographic film. In 1896‚ Henri Becquerel discovered that a sample of uranium was able to expose a photographic plate even when the sample and plate were separated by black paper. He also discovered that the exposure of the plate did not depend on the chemical state of the uranium (what uranium compound was used) and therefore must be due to some property of the

    Coal power vs. Nuclear power Safety & Efficiency With nuclear power came what was thought to be a more clean alternative to burning coal and other fossil fuels; Nuclear power does not produce nearly as much of the greenhouse gases as coal produces. People and society have given nuclear power a bad name‚ considering the amount of accidents that have happened. Although when you look at statistics it’s not as many as you would believe‚ or expect.
