NUCLEAR POWER IN SPACE Nuclear Engineering U.S. Department of Energy DOE/NE-0071 Introduction In the early years of the United States space program, lightweight batteries, fuel cells, and solar modules provided electric power for space missions. As missions became more ambitious and complex, power needs increased and scientists investigated various options to meet these challenging power requirements. One of the options was nuclear energy. By the mid-1950's, research had begun in earnest on ways to use nuclear power in space. These efforts resulted in the first radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), which are nuclear power generators built specifically for space and special terrestrial uses. These RTGs convert the heat generated from the natural decay of their radioactive fuel into electricity. The low-power devices are designed to supplement a craft's primary non-nuclear power source, but as the technology progressed, they soon began shouldering many missions' entire power needs. Today, RTG-powered spacecraft are exploring the outer planets of the solar system and orbiting the sun and Earth. They have also landed on Mars and the moon. They provide the power that enables us to see and learn about even the farthermost objects in our solar system.

This site is designed to be viewed on an 800 x 600 screen, with level 4+ browsers. Created by Andy Darvill Science teacher at Broadoak Community School , Weston-super-Mare, England Web site www.darvill.clara.net Nuclear Power - energy from splitting Uranium atoms Introduction How it works More details Advantages ... Is it renewable? Introduction Nuclear power is generated using Uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956. Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plants for engines. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needs, and produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel, without the pollution that you'd get from burning fossil fuels. How it works Nuclear power stations work in pretty much the same way as fossil fuel-burning stations, except that a "chain reaction" inside a nuclear reactor makes the heat instead.

(issue of 31 January 2000) 21 January 2000 Titles and Authors Lasers Split the Atom © 2000 Photodisc, Inc. Fission in action. The reactions that are best known for generating nuclear power and atomic blasts can now be initiated with laser light, allowing researchers to run new types of nuclear physics experiments. Two research teams have used the most powerful lasers on Earth to create the first laser-induced nuclear reactions, including the fission of uranium. The results, reported in the 31 January PRL , were predicted by theorists ten years ago but were not possible with the most powerful lasers at the time. The experiments demonstrate that lasers can now be used to study nuclear physics and astrophysical plasmas without going to a major accelerator facility. They may also lead to new information on the behavior of plasmas in a fusion reactora power plant that creates energy the same way the sun does. "With these classes of lasers we're actually doing nuclear physics," says Thomas Cowan, leader of the University of California team at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, one of the groups to accomplish the feat. "You're able to do with lasers what you primarily only do with accelerators." Across the Atlantic, researchers achieved similar results at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.

After growing more than 700 percent in the 1970s, and 140 percent in the 1980s, nuclear generating capacity has increased less than 5 percent during the 1990s so far. (See Figure 1.) In the last decade, nuclear power has gone from being the world's fastest growing energy source to its slowest, trailing well behind oil and even coal. In 1998, world nuclear generating capacity fell by 175 megawatts. As the world approaches the 20th anniversary of the Three Mile Island accident on March 28, global nuclear capacity stands at 343,086 megawatts, providing just under 17 percent of the world's electricity. Both of these figures will likely turn out to be close to the all-time historical peak-and less than one-tenth the 4,500,000 megawatts that the International Atomic Energy Agency predicted back in 1974. The Worldwatch Institute projects that global nuclear capacity will begin a sustained decline by 2002 at the latest, and the U.S. Department of Energy projects that it will fall by half in the next two decades.

72. Peaceful Nuclear Power Fuels Spread Of Weapons Peaceful nuclear power Fuels Spread of Weapons. by Stephen Koff. Can commercial nuclear power exist without inevitably spreading nuclear weapons? http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0427-02.htm

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Sunday, April 27, 2003 by the Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Peaceful' Nuclear Power Fuels Spread of Weapons by Stephen Koff WASHINGTON - North Korea announces it has nuclear weapons and could make more, and analysts say South Korea, Japan and Taiwan could follow. Iran is building a plant to enrich uranium, possibly for a bomb, and experts say Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria and even postwar Iraq, depending on its new government, could be next. The world is teetering on the brink of a new nuclear arms race. Countries are seeking to get the deadliest of weapons as it becomes clear their neighbors and regional rivals are already doing so, CIA Director George Tenet recently told Congress. The "domino theory of the 21st century may well be nuclear," Tenet said. A major way such a dangerous arms race has become possible is the ready availability of a source of weapons material - ordinary nuclear power reactors. Insecure nations are taking the nuclear technology provided for peaceful civilian purposes by the United States and other countries and using it to make military bombs. The spread of nuclear weapons in unstable regions has become big news.

The problem was partially solved by the filling of cavities under the reactors with concrete, but this continues to make trouble.

Nuclear Energy What is nuclear energy, and how does it work? TVA Nuclear operates two different types of nuclear power plants, one using pressurized water and the other boiling water. Sequoyah and Watts Bar Nuclear Plants are based on a pressurized water reactor, and Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant has a boiling water reactor. Pressurized water reactor diagram Boiling water reactor diagram A nuclear plant works in much the same way that a TVA dam or fossil-fuel plant does, in that large turbine blades are used to operate a generator to produce electricity. At a hydroelectric dam, the force of the falling water spins the turbine blades, while at a coal-fired or nuclear plant, the force of steam spins the blades. A nuclear plant, however, uses uranium instead of coal as a fuel to make steam. A secondary source of water passes around the outside of the tubes in the steam generators. The heat from the water inside the tubes is transferred to the secondary source of water, which boils and turns to steam. The steam formed in the generators is piped into the main turbine, where the force of the steam turns the turbine blades. The turbine is connected to an electric generator by a rotating shaft. As the turbine blades begin to spin, a magnet inside the generator also turns, and that produces electricity.
