Chill out desk: Nuclear fusion & fission
Nuclear energy can provide the world with much of its electricity needs but many people are worried about it. Scientist Joe Kaplinsky explains what nuclear energy is and answers the four major objections to it: radioactive waste; nuclear accidents; nuclear weapons and the high expense. He concludes that we should chill out about the risks […]
What would happen if we used high energy neutrons in fission reactors?
Question by Chris: What would happen if we used high energy neutrons in fission reactors? I’m not %100 sure about this but isn’t nuclear waste created when the neutrons that are sustaining the fission reaction get absorbed by the fission fuel instead of smashing them apart? If so then couldn’t high energy neutrons produced by […]
