The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Trying to understand the different nuclear powered spacecraft?

Quote there are more nuclear powered spacecraft than you think. ion propulsion is being used on at least one craft as we speak. i think you,re confusing cooled power generating reactors with space craft equipped with nuclear electrical generating power sources. these have radiation cooling, but i don,t think they need liquid cooled cores. nuc […]

Agora – Nuclear Energy: friend or foe to the environment?

Bruno Comby and Frédéric Marillier are both French environmentalists who believe global warming is real, dangerous, and has to be stopped. But Marillier heads the anti-nuclear campaign of Greenpeace France. He advocates renewable energies rather than a nuclear industry that he argues is expensive, dangerous and unreliable.

Investing in Clean, Safe Nuclear Energy

President Obama announces more than $8 billion in loan guarantees for two new nuclear reactors as part of the Administration’s commitment to providing clean energy and creating new jobs.

Nuclear fission reactor?

What is the main advantage of using fusion reactions to generate power? What is the plasma in the fusion reaction? How can spent fuel be reprocessed? What is the advantage of nuclear fuel compared to coal (for generation of power)? Thanks if you can answer any of these questions

fusion in fission reactor?

why doesn’t fusion reaction occur in reactors using heavy water as coolant? I do not mean chain reaction. Even a few instances. As for as I know, energy of the liberated neutrons is about 1 MeV, while fusion of deuteron requires about 5GeV. But if it is so, than how they create fusion in bombs. […]
