http://reactor.engr.wisc.edu/fission.htm

Extractions: University of Wisconsin - Madison Atoms are the building blocks from which matter is formed. Everything around us is made up of atoms. Nuclear energy is contained within the center of the atom in a place known as the nucleus . Particles within the nucleus are held together by a strong force. If a large nucleus is split apart (fission) , generous amounts of energy can be liberated. Small nuclei can also be combined (fusion) with an accompanying release of energy. Using this strong force that holds the nucleus together to produce energy is essentially what the field of nuclear power generation is about. In the fission process certain heavy elements, such as some forms of Uranium , are split when a neutron strikes them. When they split, they release energy in the form of kinetic energy (heat) and radiation . The process not only produces energy but also additional neutrons that can be used to fission other Uranium nuclei and start a chain reaction.

Nuclear Fusion ..............................
nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future. It is what provides the sunand the stars with the energy to shine continuously for billions of years.
http://www.geocities.com/thesciencefiles/fusion/nuclearfusion.html

Extractions: We will try to show how fusion works, and describe current efforts to tame this limitless energy source. Fusion is what happens when two atomic nuclei are forced together by high pressure ... high enough to overcome the strong repulsive forces of the respective protons in the nuclei. When the nuclei fuse, they form a new element, and release excess energy in the form of a fast-moving neutron. The energy is 'extra' because the mass of the newly formed nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the original two nuclei; the extra mass is converted to energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc This energy can be used to do useful work!

http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~soper/Sun/fusion.html

Extractions: Here is a tour of the atomic world. We need to know the players in the game and the rules that is the particles and their interactions The middle of the Sun is a very hot gas. It is ionized: all of the electrons have been ripped away from the nuclei because it is so hot. The nuclei available are mostly H, quite a lot of He, and a few H and He. (There are a few other types, but they are not so important for us.) What is happening in the middle of the Sun is analogous to burning methane: C H + 2 O > C O + 2 H O In this reaction, the final molecules have less internal energy than the starting molecules. Since energy is conserved, the extra energy is released as energy of motion of the molecules. That is the gas gets hotter. The amount of energy involved is 5.5 eV each time the reaction above happens. As we have seen, much more energy than that must be involved in the reactions inside the Sun and other stars. The evidence is strong that the overall reaction is "burning" hydrogen to make helium: H + 2 e > He + 2 neutrinos + 6 photons In this reaction, the final particles have less internal energy than the starting particles. Since energy is conserved, the extra energy is released as energy of motion of the nuclei and electrons in the solar gas, the production of lots of low energy photons and, finally, the energy of the neutrinos, which just zip right out of the Sun. That is the gas gets hotter and has lots of photons (and neutrinos). The amount of energy involved is 26 MeV = 26 x 10

Extractions: Or search the encyclopaedia: nuclear energy Chapelcross nuclear power station, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, opened in 1959, and was built at the same time as the Calder Hall plant at Sellafield in West Cumbria, England. Its four carbon-dioxide-cooled reactors were once used to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons, and are currently used to produce tritium. Accidents in the handling of nuclear waste at Chapelcross, and concern about the transportation of nuclear waste in the UK, led to public protests at the plant in 1999. Energy released from the inner core, or nucleus , of the atom. Energy produced by nuclear fission (the splitting of certain atomic nuclei) has been harnessed since the 1950s to generate electricity, and research continues into the possible controlled use of nuclear fusion (the fusing, or combining, of atomic nuclei).

http://www.pa.msu.edu/courses/1997spring/PHY232/lectures/nuclear/bombs.html

Extractions: Nuclear energy from fission and fusion Nuclear power is generated either through fusion or through fission. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into light nuclei which are more energetically favorable. Since Iron-56 is the most energetically favorable nucleus, both the fission of heavy nuclei and the fusion of light nuclei can release energy. Fission is the process used in the first nuclear weapons and in power plants. Fusion is the source of the sun's energy and is the source of energy in hydrogen bombs. Fusion is an inherently cleaner source of energy, but igniting it in a controlled way has proved problematic. (hydrogen bombs are set off by fission devices). Fission is set off by bringing together a critical mass of an element such as Uranium-235. If a sufficient amount of Uranium is brought together an emitted neutron will most likely be captured, changing the Uranium to U-236, rather than escaping from the surface. Since U-236 decays and produces 2 neutrons, the number of neutrons grows exponentially, and practically all the U-235 nuclei decay in short order. This is called a chain reaction . In a power plant the chain reaction is modified with neutron absorbing rods. Examples Nuclear physics' index

Extractions: Gravity is the force the prevents the Sun from expanding despite the fact that it is a hot gas and keeps the Earth forever falling towards the Sun in it's orbit and keeps all the people in this room in their seats. One way to look at gravity is that it is an attractive force between objects with mass Electric Force is a force felt between charged particles like electrons (e-) and protons (p+). There are both attractive and repulsive electrical forces. Like charges repel, opposites attract . The Electrical Force holds atoms and molecules together and is useful for all kinds of nifty gadgets that have been built in the last 150 years. Fun note: The electric force is what keeps you from falling through the chair and floor and earth and being cooked in the center of the Earth. You are suspended above your chair by the repulsive force of the protons in your body against the protons in the chair. Nuclear Force . If you think about it for a minute, nuclei of atoms which contain protons (positively charged) and neutrons (no charge) should not be stable. All those ``like'' charged protons should be repelling one another and fly right out of the nucleus. Since nuclei ARE stable, it can be inferred that there is another force that is stronger than the electrical force which glues those nuclei together. This is the Nuclear Force or the Strong force. The Nuclear force would right now be binding EVERYTHING together except for the fact that it acts over only

http://www.hamburger-bildungsserver.de/klima/energie/energy/energy-118.html

Extractions: Chapter 7: Nuclear Energy - Fission and Fusion 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 famous scientist Albert Einstein created the mathematical formula that explains this. It is: E = mc This equation says: E [energy] equals [mass] times c [c stands for the speed of light. c means c times c, or the speed of light raised to the second power or c-squared.] 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. Scientists used Einstein's famous equation as the key to unlock atomic energy and also create atomic bombs. The ancient Greeks said the smallest part of nature is an atom. But they did not know 2,000 years ago about nature's even smaller parts. As we learned in chapter 2 , atoms are made up of smaller particles a nucleus of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons which swirl around the nucleus much like the earth revolves around the sun.

Programme objectives The goal of the Nuclear Energy Programme is to help exploit the full potential of nuclear energy, both fusion and fission, in a sustainable manner, by making current technologies even safer and more economical and by exploring promising new concepts. The availability of secure, sustainable and competitive sources of energy is essential to economic growth, prosperity and quality of life in Europe. In view of the expected growth in demand for energy, continued use will need to be made of all potential sources. Nuclear energy has the potential to provide Europe with a secure and sustainable electricity supply at a competitive price. It also makes a significant contribution to the policy of diversifying energy supply and reducing overall emissions of CO2. Efforts to develop the safety and security of nuclear energy systems can strengthen the Community's industrial competitiveness, through exploiting the European technological advance and enhance the acceptability of nuclear energy.

Extractions: THE RELEASE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY Elements of atomic number greater than 83 are naturally radioactive. Their nuclei emit particles spontaneously to become different nuclei. Elements of atomic number greater than 92 are so unstable they are not found in nature. Scientists assumed that if the nucleus of a heavy element were split into two or more fragments it would release great energy. Diagram of a Slow Neutron Split Such a splitting, or fission, reaction was achieved in 1939. The nucleus of a uranium isotope (U-235), when bombarded by neutrons, split into two smaller nuclei. The reaction also produced new neutrons and released about 200 mev of energy per fission. One example of the nuclear fission reaction is as follows: + neutrons The significance of this reaction is that if one pound of uranium undergoes fission, it will release energy equal to that released by the burning of 3,000 tons of coal or 9,000 tons of TNT. Later experiments proved that plutonium and thorium could also undergo nuclear fission. Plutonium is an element made artificially by bombarding uranium 238 with neutrons.
