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. Bruno Comby is president of Environmentalists for Nuclear […]

Why are people using Nuclear Energy to harm others?
Nuclear Energy should be used to generate electricity.
Given their geography and climate, wouldn’t solar be a much better alternative for Iran than nuclear power?
and less expensive
Nuclear Regulation in Our Era
(May 18, 2010) Gregory Jaczko, Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, provides an impartial overview of the current regulatory environment for the maintenance and construction of large-scale nuclear power facilities in the United States with historical perspectives on major disasters and the lessons learned for provision of safe, clean energy in the future. Stanford […]
Investing in Clean, Safe Nuclear Energy

Why does McCain think that nuclear energy is “safe and clean”?
Does he even know what it is? ive got one duchess, i live in az. And no, im not a huge fan of it. and yes, i do know what it is, i live with it. there are much much much safer forms of energy. And Obamas plan includes much more than nuclear, thats why […]
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
Nuclear Regulatory Commission hearing on San Onofre Nuclear Power Station Nov 5 2009 Dana Point CA
This was the second person to speak at the hearing that night, after the formal presentations by San Onofre management and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Most of those present at the hearing were “SONGS” employees. The purpose of the hearing was to review what the utility had done to fix a “culture of cover-up” which […]
what is the difference between the fission process in atomic bomb and in a reactor?
Will the presidential candidates’ push of nuclear energy cause uranium stocks to soar this year?
It looks as thought the price of uranium has peaked but with all the candidates in the presidential election promising to increase our national production of nuclear energy, the price of uranium AND related stocks should soar, RIGHT??? Solid info gets u points!!! Thanks.
If We Are All For Clean Alternate Energy Sources, Why do so Many Democrats Oppose Nuclear Power?
Even a country like France has many more Nuclear Reactors than we do in the US. Why the opposition? Why do they want to hold us back?

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. […]
What man made materials and structures are used to produce nuclear energy?
What man made materials and structures are used to produce nuclear energy???
Is nuclear energy a reasonable alternative to fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy is clean. It has caused 0 deaths in the United States. It outputs 2.7 million times more energy than coal. All we have to figure out is what to do with the waste. What’s your opinion on nuclear energy?
