Fission Surface Power System_HD720p
NASA astronauts will need power sources when they return to the moon and establish a lunar outpost. NASA engineers are exploring the possibility of nuclear fission to provide the necessary power and taking initial steps toward a non-nuclear technology demonstration of this type of system. A fission surface power system on the moon has the […]

Nuclear power?
by James Marvin Phelps (mandj98) Question by blah: Nuclear power? I want to know what people think about using nuclear power as a main power source in the u.s. why are people so against it? i know the waste can be used to create weapons but nuclear power is now so efficient that there is […]
How can both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release energy?
Question by smilinchick_21: How can both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion release energy? Coming from a chemistry point of view, we are familiar with the concept that making bonds requires energy, and breaking bonds releases energy. So, it follows that fusion should require energy, and fission release energy. However, from a nuclear point of view […]
