Alternatively they can be downloaded in pdf format here So...What is radiation and radioactivity? All matter is made up of atoms. All atoms are made up of three particles: protons, which have a positive electric charge; electrons, which are negatively charged; and neutrons, which have no electrical charge. The protons and neutrons combine to create the nucleus, which is the centre of an atom. "isotopes" . Most elements have several isotopes. For example, carbon-12 (C-12) is an isotope of carbon with an atomic mass of 12, whereas carbon-14 (C-14) is carbon with an atomic mass of 14. Isotopes have the same chemical properties, but often have slightly different physical properties, due to the differences in their mass.

83. Glossary Of Nuclear Terms nuclear energy energy, usually in the form of heat or electricity, producedby the process of nuclear fission within a nuclear reactor. http://www.gdrc.org/uem/nuclear-glossary.html

Glossary of Nuclear Terms Atom: The basic building block of all matter. The smallest particle of an element that has the same properties as the element. It consists of a central core called the nucleus that is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons revolve in orbits in the region surrounding the nucleus. Dry-cask storage: A method for storing spent fuel. Dry casks are large, rugged containers made of steel or steel-reinforced concrete, 18 or more inches thick. The casks use materials like steel, concrete and lead - instead of water - as a radiation shield. Depending on the design, a dry cask can hold from seven to 56 12-foot-long fuel assemblies. Fission: The splitting of atoms that results in the release of large amounts of energy. Two or three neutrons are usually released during this event. Fission occurs either naturally or when an atom's nucleus is bombarded by neutrons.

I-NERI, the Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems Initiative, the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI), and the Hydrogen Initiative, are key elements of the Federal effort to foster global cooperation in development of advanced nuclear energy technology. Background Federal Energy Research and Development for the Challenges of the Twenty First Century In 1999, in response to the PCAST recommendations, DOE established the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) to help overcome the principal technical and scientific issues affecting the future use of nuclear energy in the United States. Information on the NERI program including abstracts of the funded NERI projects are provided in the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative 2002 Annual Report and on the NERI website at http://neri.ne.doe.gov Recognizing the importance of a focused program of international cooperation, PCAST issued a June 1999 report, entitled Powerful Partnerships: The Federal Role in International Cooperation on Energy Innovation , which highlights the need for an international component of the NERI program to promote "bilateral and multilateral research focused on advanced technologies for improving the cost, safety, waste management, and proliferation resistance of nuclear fission energy systems." The report further states that: "The costs of exploring new technological approaches that might deal effectively with the multiple challenges posed by conventional nuclear power are too great for the United States or any other single country to bear, so that a pooling of international resources is needed..."

The Natural Conservative: Nuclear Energy and the Mission of Fission I am a natural conservative. Conservative like nature is conservative. Preserving what works until something, by chance, works better. I used to think nuclear energy was a bad idea. Life on earth, I reasoned, largely owed its existence to being 93 million miles from the nearest fission reactor the sun. Why bring a star's power plant to Earth? Then I learned that the sun burns on fusion, not fission. So, being a rational human, I went looking for a another reason to hate nuclear energy. Guided by Nature, I wondered where is the natural model for fission? Where can I find natural fission? It can't be like plastic, that wonderful war-born alchemy which conjured on Earth an incredibly durable solid that is probably unique to the universe. I learned that energy is released from a nucleus through fusion, fission and natural decay called radioactivity. I learned that fusion on stars involves Earth-melting temperatures and that radioactivity is relatively useless for power generation. Leaving fission as the only nuclear means to usable energy.

The energy released during fusion is even greater than that released during fission. Moreover, the fuel for fusion reactions, isotopes of hydrogen, is readily available in large amounts, and there is no release of radioactive byproducts. In stars ordinary hydrogen, whose nucleus consists of a single proton, is the fuel for the reaction and is fused to form helium through a complex cycle of reactions (see nucleosynthesis ). This reaction takes place too slowly, however, to be of practical use on the earth. The heavier isotopes of hydrogen : deuterium and tritium : have much faster fusion reactions. For sustained, controlled fusion reactions, a fission bomb obviously cannot be used to trigger the reaction. The difficulties of controlled fusion center on the containment of the nuclear fuel at the extremely high temperatures necessary for fusion for a time long enough to allow the reaction to take place. For deuterium-tritium fusion, this time is about 0.1 sec. At such temperatures the fuel is no longer in one of the ordinary states of matter but is instead a plasma , consisting of a mixture of electrons and charged atoms. Obviously, no solid container could hold such a hot mixture; therefore, containment attempts have been based on the electrical and magnetic properties of a plasma, using magnetic fields to form a "magnetic bottle." Another method has used

Nuclear reactors provide heat for electricity generation , domestic and industrial heating, desalination, and naval propulsion. They also have many research applications including providing a source of neutrons and creating various radioactive isotopes Although the term 'nuclear reactor' could also refer to a nuclear fusion reactor , the term normally refers only to nuclear fission devices. Nuclear power can also be generated in a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator , which produces heat through subcritical radioactive decay rather than fission in a near-critical mass.

Albert Einstein as Memorialized at the US National Academy of Sciences Energy and Matter: Nuclear science began with Albert Einstein who recognized that matter and energy were equivalent. We have all heard the equation: E=mc This was Einstein's understanding at the beginning of the last century. Energy - the ability to provide heat or do work, had an equivalency with matter - the mass of the physical universe. The relationship was astonishing in that the amount of energy equivalent to a given amount of matter was related by the square of the speed of light. The equation predicted that IF matter could be converted to energy in a practical manner, a very small amount of matter would generate enormous amounts of energy.

Bodansky imagines a future for nuclear fission Objections to nuclear power have been based on reactor accidents and waste disposal, also on their connection to nuclear weapons, observed David Bodansky. Yet nuclear power could mitigate energy scarcity and restrain carbon dioxide emissions. How nuclear power might resurge after peaking in 1973 was the subject of the University of Washington physicist's talk on "Nuclear Energy and the Large Environment" at the centennial meeting of the American Physical Society in Atlanta on 25 March 1999. The peaking of nuclear power in 1973 was also its termination (in terms of orders in the U.S.), Bodansky noted, and it came after less than twenty years of experience with commercial reactor designs, which he considered to be a very short lifetime for a technology. Reactors have continued to come on-line elsewhere in the world, though, primarily in Asia and in former Soviet republics; Nuclear energy generates 78% of the electricity in France, 17% worldwide. Bodansky saw the future of nuclear energy geared to that of nonhydro renewables, which are presently generating very little electricity: 1.7% from wood, 0.5% from geothermal, 0.1% from wind, and 0.03% from direct solar. (Arthur Rosenfeld of the U.S. Department of Energy, who spoke after Bodansky, gave the actual wind generating capacity as 1.8 gigawatts and claimed that it would become cost effective by 2004.)
