Nuclear Fission

Nuclear energy-This is energy that binds together
components of an atomic nucleus. This is made by the
process of nuclear fission. Nuclear fission is produced when
an atomic atom is split. The way nuclear pore is made is in
a nuclear reactor, this is most likely located in a nuclear
power plant. the fission that is produced is when a heavy
element splits in half or is halved into two smaller nuclei, the
power of the fission is located by the rate of the splitting of
the nuclei at once which causes watts of electricity to be
forced into the energy type.
Energy that is released by the nuclear fission matches
almost completely to that of the properties of kinetic fission
particles, only that the properties of the nuclear energies
nucleus are radioactive. These radioactive nucleuses can
be contained and used as fuel for the power. Most of this
power is fueled by uranium isotopes. These isotopes are
highly radioactive. The isotope catches the fast moving
neutrons created by the splitting atoms, it repels the slower
moving protons and electrons, then gathers the neutrons
and pulls them inward. While all these atoms are flying
about they smash together then split many of many times,
this is when the reactor grabs and pulls in the frictional
energy to be processed into electrical watts.



This usually causes heat or thermal energy, this must
be removed by some kind of a coolant. Most power plants
use water or another type of liquid based formula. these
coolants are always base related, never acidic. Very few
use gas related coolants in there reactors, these are known
as thermal reactor based power plants. Another nuclear
reactor type is a type that runs off of uranium oxide, the
uranium oxide is a gas form of the solid uranium. These
fuels which cause the radioactive particles usually are
always highly radioactive themselves. Because of this all
the power plants take high safety standards and use special
shields to prevent leakage. Usually the leakage can cause
nuclear contamination. This means they must take high
safety standards.
After nuclear fission has occurred many of the thermal
neutrons are moving at thermal neutrons are moving at
thermal velocities which are harder to be absorbed, so they
rely on constructional details. Usually they use thick medals
such as lead or tungsten, usually now though the barrier is
made of concrete. The average shield of a power plant
twelve to fourteen feet in diameter and fifteen to twenty feet
high.
This creates a problem with gamma ray leakage out
into the biomes. this usually would only happen in a time of
crises, this is why shields are so highly needed. Because of
this factor there are secondary shields only used in cases of
extreme emergencies. Usually this action triggers the fast
pace emergency reactions. In this time the secondary
emergency system reacts, the way that it reacts is by
enclosing the reactor in a gastight chamber. This chamber
has airlocks, these airlocks are double sealed and are
usually two sided. The shielded covers the entire reactor,
and the primary coolant system. All the coolant vents are
automatically shut up and off. This safely contain the fission
products inside the shell. Another way of stopping this is the
Negative Temperature Coefficient, what this seal does is
seal off the reactor and pump in gases that are of sub-zero
negative temperature properties, this freezes the thermal
neutrons, slow the fission, and finally freeze the radiation
particles. These procedures are highly effective in stopping
the contamination of the local community.
Because of all the possible damage nuclear power
plants are designed and operated in a manner that
emphasizes the prevention of accidental release of
radioactivity out into the environment. there has never been
a death caused by a commercial nuclear power plant that
are located in the United States of America. The potential
for cancer and genetic damage as the result of the
accidental release of radioactivity has led to an increased
public concern about the safe operation of reactors.
Although the direct health effects from the resulting
release of radioactivity into the environment are still being
investigated, the psychological effects of an accident could
damage the nuclear power associations credibility.
International concern over the issue of reactor safety was
renewed following an accident at a facility in the Soviet
Union in April 1986. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant,
which is located 80 miles northwest of Kiev in Ukraine
suffered a castrophic meltdown of its nuclear fuel. A
radioactive cloud spread from the plant over most of Europe,
this contaminated a very large amount of crops, and
livestock. Lesser amounts of this radiation showed up.
These are some reasons why people and the
community are very cautious against nuclear power, I hope
that this report can better inform people on this issue, even
though nuclear energy is the cleanest, and supposedly the
safest I still lay undecided. Here are some pictures on the
topic.
