Nuclear Reaction
Since 1978, no new nuclear power stations have been commissioned in the United States. Americans, once enthusiastic about nuclear power, now consider it one of the most serious risks to human life and health. But the American people's aversion to nuclear power has perplexed many nuclear scientists who believe it poses only trivial risks to the public. FRONTLINE correspondent and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Richard Rhodes looks at what has derailed nuclear power in the United States and at the differing national attitudes toward nuclear power.

From 1993-2003, the U.S. Department of Energy conducted a comprehensive, cooperative effort to improve safety at Soviet-designed nuclear power plants. In nine partnering countries joint projects corrected major safety deficiencies and established self-sustaining nuclear safety infrastructures. This site serves as a historical reference for these activities.

Nuclear Fission
If a massive nucleus like uranium-235 breaks apart (fissions), then there will be a net yield of energy because the sum of the masses of the fragments will be less than the mass of the uranium nucleus. If the mass of the fragments is equal to or greater 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 uranium nucleus, and that decrease in mass comes off in the form of energy according to the Ei ...

Control The Nuclear Power Plant (Demonstration)
by Henrik Eriksson
The control-room operators of the Kärnobyl nuclear power plant are telecommuting and are running the plant through the Web. However, the mean time between failure for the components of Kärnobyl is not great. Try to keep the reactor stable when component failures occur! (Click here for instructions.)
Brief Instructions
Use sequence buttons 1-3 to run a failure-simulation sequence. The randomize button starts a random fa ...

WHAT IS URANIUM?
How does it work?
Uranium is a very heavy (dense) metal which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy.
It occurs in most rocks in concentrations of 2 to 4 parts per million and is as common in the earth's crust as tin, tungsten and molybdenum. It occurs in seawater, and could be recovered from the oceans if prices rose significantly.
It was discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth, a German chemist, in the mineral called pitchblende. It was n ...
