After reading this, do you still think the US is safer than it was pre- 9/11 ??
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070712/pl_nm/dirtybomb_sting_dc WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Undercover investigators, working for a fake firm, obtained a license to buy enough radioactive material to build a “dirty bomb,” amid little scrutiny from federal regulators, according to a government report obtained on Wednesday. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the license to the dummy company in just 28 days with […]
Is this a feasible way of having clean nuclear energy, plus possibly heightening the nation’s energy supply?
I came up with an idea, but I’m not sure if it will result in a neutral, positive, or a negative when it comes to harnessing energy. We have nuclear power plants that create nuclear waste. Because of the nuclear waste, energy ideas are being diverted away from nuclear power. What to do with the […]

WEMB News at Nuclear Regulatory Commission Conference
March 2, 2010: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission officially responds to a October 2009 incident, in which gas fumes were released unexpectedly at Erwin Nuclear Fuel Services. The NRC questions whether proper safety procedures were checked before operations were reinstated less than a month later.
How can Nuclear energy be used in peace ?
I no that nuclear energy can be used to form distructive nuclear bombs but it can be also a very useful way to treat some diseases. Please explain to me this fact or support me with a website that dicusses this issue. Thank you for your help.

Why is it when folks talk about clean energy, nuclear energy is always at the top of the list?
The hazardous life of a radioactive element (the length of time that must elapse before the material is considered safe) is at least 10 half-lives. Therefore, Plutonium-239 (byproduct of nuclear energy) will remain hazardous for at least 240,000 years. (24,000 being it’s half life: wagingpeace.org) And this is considered clean energy? What person in their […]
In a nuclear fission reactor, what is the “blue glow” in the used fuel rods?
Which of the following are true of nuclear energy and reactors? Check all that apply only 4 choices?
Which of the following are true of nuclear energy and reactors? Check all that apply. A. Nuclear fission is done by joining nuclei together into a bigger nucleus. B. Nuclear reactors use controlled reactions. C. Nuclear reactors use lots of material. D. Nuclear fission reactions use only a small amount of material.
We are safe! What a joke!!?
WASHINGTON – Congressional investigators set up a bogus company with only a postal box and within a month obtained a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that allowed them to buy enough radioactive material for a small “dirty bomb.” Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., who will ask the NRC about the incident at a Senate hearing […]
