The Energy Story - Chapter 13: Nuclear Energy - Fission And Fusion
Chapter 13 nuclear energy Fission and fusion. Power plant drawing courtesy nuclearInstitute. nuclear fusion. Another form of nuclear energy is called fusion.
http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter13.html

Extractions: Another major form of energy is nuclear energy, the energy that is trapped inside each atom. One of the laws of the universe is that matter and energy can't be created nor destroyed. But they can be changed in form. Matter can be changed into energy. The world's most famous scientist, Albert Einstein , created the mathematical formula that explains this. It is: E m c This equation says: E [energy] equals m [mass] times c c stands for the velocity or the speed of light. c means c times c, or the speed of light raised to the second power or c-squared.] You can listen to Einstein's voice explaining this at: www.aip.org/history/einstein/voice1.htm Please note that some web browser software may not show an exponent (raising something to a power, a mathematical expression) on the Internet. Normally c-squared is shown with a smaller "2" placed above and to the right of the c.

Nuclear Fusion Basics

http://www.jet.efda.org/pages/content/fusion1.html

Extractions: EFDA-JET Home Fusion Basics Next : Section 2 Nuclear Fusion Basics Nuclear Fusion is the energy-producing process which takes place continuously in the sun and stars. In the core of the sun at temperatures of 10-15 million degrees Celsius, Hydrogen is converted to Helium providing enough energy to sustain life on earth. For energy production on earth different fusion reactions are involved. The most suitable reaction occurs between the nuclei of the two heavy forms (isotopes) of Hydrogen - Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T); eventually reactions involving just Deuterium or Deuterium and Helium ( He) may be used. Most suitable fusion reaction. At the temperatures required for the D-T fusion reaction - over 100 Million deg. C - the fuel has changed its state from gas to PLASMA. In a plasma, the electrons have been separated from the atomic nuclei (usually called the "ions"). Understanding plasma required major developments in physics. Plasmas are now used widely in industry, especially for semi-conductor manufacture. A vast, new source of energy.

Extractions: University of California, Berkeley Scientists have conceived of a number of approaches to harness fusionthe source of energy that heats the starsas a future nonpolluting energy source. These web pages explore one potential route, called inertial confinement fusion , providing a largely nontechnical introduction to the technology. F usion's promise as an energy source comes from its inexhaustible fuel supply, and from its potential for almost negligible environmental impact compared to the environmental costs of competing energy sources: the air pollution and carbon dioxide emission from fossil fuel combustion; high-level radioactive waste generation from nuclear fission; and the emissions from the production of the larger quantities of concrete, steel, glass and other materials required to collect dilute solar energy. Significant technical barriers must be overcome before fusion could compete economically with these other energy sources. These notes focus on a specific technologyinertial confinement fusion (ICF)and outline reasons to be optimistic that the inertial route to fusion energy also promises economical viability. Thus, besides discussing the basics of fusion reactions, how ICF "targets" work, and what major components would go into an inertial fusion energy (IFE) power plant, these notes also present the latest economic estimates for IFE power.

Extractions: When compressed to a sufficiently high density, the inertia of fusion fuel can confine it long enough to burn. Berkeley research in inertial confinement fusion supports national efforts to reach ignition in ICF targets, and to design power plants to harness energy these targets would produce.

Professor Quester Answers - Nuclear Power
The Professor Answers In 1938, the German physicist Hans Bethe first suggested thatnuclear fusion might be what provides the energy of stars such as the Sun.
http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/ask_quester/answers_nuclear.html

Extractions: I was wondering... when you split two positively charged atoms, you make nuclear energy. But, when they try to make cold fusion, they split two negatively charged atoms and can't do it. Why can't you try to split a positive and a negative atom to make cold fusion? (I know you have to have nickel to do it also!) -Thanks (John, 8th grade, Queen of Angels School, B.C. Canada) The Professor Answers: Dear John: It's not really a question of two positively charged atoms versus two negatively charges ones when discussing nuclear power. First, you already know that atoms are made up of protons (positive charge), electrons (negative charge) and neutrons (neutral charge). Because atoms have the same number of electrons and protons, the positive and negative charges balance equally. The force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus is called nuclear force. Each atom of Uranium-235, the fissionable isotope of uranium, contains 92 protons, 92 electrons and 143 neutrons. That's what makes it an isotope; having more neutrons. Although each atom is balanced, all nuclei are unstable to a certain degree. The bigger the nucleus, the more unstable it is. It is this instability that makes U-235 perfect for fission to occur. The balanced, but large, unstable U-235 nucleus is bombarded by neutrons. When a neutron hits the nucleus, the nucleus splits into two smaller, more stable nuclei. These smaller nuclei need fewer neutrons to make them stable and two or three neutrons are usually released. These then cause other nuclei to break up and can start a chain reaction. The energy needed to hold all of the particles together in the new nuclei is less than that required in the original nucleus and the "spare" energy is released, mostly as heat.

Extractions: Nuclear Binding Energy Nuclei are made up of protons and neutron , but the mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of the individual masses of the protons and neutrons which constitute it. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. This binding energy can be calculated from the Einstein relationship Nuclear binding energy = D mc Nuclear Structure Concepts ...

Nuclear R Nave Go Back Nuclear Binding Energy Curve The binding energy curve is obtained by dividing the total nuclear binding energy by the number of nucleons. The fact that there is a peak in the binding energy curve in the region of stability near iron means that either the breakup of heavier nuclei (fission) or the combining of lighter nuclei (fusion) will yield nuclei which are more tightly bound (less mass per nucleon). The binding energies of nucleons are in the range of millions of electron volts compared to tens of eV for atomic electrons. Whereas an atomic transition might emit a photon in the range of a few electron volts, perhaps in the visible light region, nuclear transitions can emit

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nucene/fusion.html

Extractions: Nuclear Fusion If light nuclei are forced together, they will fuse with a yield of energy because the mass of the combination will be less than the sum of the masses of the individual nuclei. If the combined nuclear mass is less than that of iron at the peak of the binding energy curve, then the nuclear particles will be more tightly bound than they were in the lighter nuclei, and that decrease in mass comes off in the form of energy according to the Einstein relationship . For elements heavier than iron, fission will yield energy. For potential nuclear energy sources for the Earth, the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction contained by some kind of magnetic confinement seems the most likely path. However, for the fueling of the stars , other fusion reactions will dominate. Fusion concepts ... Nuclear R Nave Go Back Deuterium-Tritium Fusion The most promising of the hydrogen fusion reactions which make up the deuterium cycle is the fusion of deuterium and tritium. The reaction yields 17.6 MeV of energy but requires a temperature of approximately 40 million Kelvins to overcome the coulomb barrier and ignite it. The

Extractions: by John McCarthy This page discusses nuclear energy as a part of a more general discussion of why human material progress is sustainable and should be sustained. Energy is just one of the questions considered. Up to: Main page on why progress is sustainable Incidentally, I'm Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, emeritus (means retired) as of 2001 January 1. Here's my main page . I write about sustainability as a volunteer public service. I am not professionally involved with nuclear energy. Here's a new page on Nuclear Energy Now . It is motivated by the Bush Administration in the U.S. having tentatively re-opened the question of building new nuclear plants in the U.S. I hope they persist and are successful. One of the major requirements for sustaining human progress is an adequate source of energy. The current largest sources of energy are the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. These are discussed in the main page on energy . They will last quite a while but will probably run out or become harmful in tens to hundreds of years. Solar energy will also work but is not much developed yet except for special applications because of its high cost. This high cost as a main source, e.g. for central station electricity, is likely to continue, and nuclear energy is likely to remain cheaper. Q. What are the details on nuclear energy?

Extractions: Chapter Head Home Table of Contents Glossary ... Appendix Fission Fission occurs when the nucleus of an atom divides into two smaller nuclei. Fission can occur spontaneously; it may also be induced by the capture of a neutron. For example, an excited state of uranium (created by neutron capture) can split into smaller " daughter " nuclei. Fission products will often emit neutrons because the N/Z ratio is greater at higher Z. With a proper arrangement of uranium atoms, it is possible to have the neutrons resulting from the first fission event be captured and to cause more uranium nuclei to fission. This "chain reaction" process causes the number of uranium atoms that fission to increase exponentially. When the uranium nucleus fissions, it releases a considerable amount of energy. This process is carried on in a controlled manner in a nuclear reactor, where control rods capture excess neutrons, preventing them from being captured by other uranium nuclei to induce yet another uranium fission. Nuclear reactors are designed so that the release of energy is slow and can be used for practical generation of energy. In an atomic bomb, the chain reaction is explosively rapid.
