Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. As a nuclear technology, nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium

Texas A&M: American Nuclear Society has 351 members  . Goal: Develop a 2-¬4 minute video to educate a member of the public about a nuclear topic. Possible topics: how a power plant works, the basics of fission, nuclear as clean energy, everyday uses of radiation, nuclear medicine, etc. Submissions should be uploaded to youtube. com) for a complete set of rules and instructions.

Nuclear energy comes from the energy inside each atom. Atoms are made up of a nucleus with protons and neutrons-and electrons which revolve around the nucleus like the earth goes around the sun. Nuclear fission. An atom’s nucleus can be split apart. When this is done, a lot of energy is released. Albert Einstein, the world’s most famous scientist, said that you can get a lot of energy out of a small number of atoms. In a nuclear power station uranium atoms are split apart to create energy. Uranium can be found in rocks on earth, but only a special form of uranium-U 235-can be used to make energy. A pound of uranium has the same energy as about 250 000 litres of petrol. In a nuclear reactor free neutrons hit a uranium atom and split it. New neutrons are set free and when they run into other uranium atoms they split them again.

Those interested in the nuclear-technology debate will benefit from this extremely useful compendium. Historical understanding is essential to an informed public that must live in a world of nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors because of decisions made years or even decades ago. The purpose of this volume is to tell the story of America's nuclear policy through its primary documents. Our hope is that a documentary collection will contribute historical evidence to a public concern with nuclear policy that is often more rhetorical than substantive

One of the aims of the film was, 'despite the seriousness of the theme, to dispel fears and prejudices with irony' and end with 'a warm human story about love of the peaceful atom. WNN is a public information service of World Nuclear Association. Russia completes upgrade of third Smolensk RBMK.

At the center of the atom is the nucleus; orbiting around it are electrons. The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, very densely packed together. Hydrogen, the lightest element, has one proton; the heaviest natural element, uranium, has 92 protons. During fission, a neutron bombards a uranium atom, releasing more neutrons and triggering a chain reaction. The nucleus of an atom is held together with great force, the "strongest force in nature. When bombarded with a neutron, it can be split apart, a process called fission (pictured to the right). In the core of nuclear reactors, the fission of uranium atoms releases energy that heats water to about 520 degrees Farenheit.

Africa is hungry for energy, and nuclear power could be part of the answer for an increasing number of countries. A third of the almost 30 countries currently considering nuclear power are in Africa. Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan have already engaged with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to assess their readiness to embark on a nuclear programme.

The hour-long episode, "A is for Atom," was named cheekily after the old propaganda film on atomic energy. We could have refused to license them, but again I think that in the context of that time, it's not a question that makes much sense.
