All help needed fast please!! and please write an answer even if you think its been said and dont be afraid to elaborate!! Thanks in advance :D (if you know some for ANSTO in particular that would be great but if you don't, don't worry about it :P)

ANTSO monitors:-Neutron flux. This is the main measurement that they use to control what reactions are going on inside the reactor.-Gamma radiation near the Lucas Heights site. This is used to determine the radiation exposure if relatives, animals or plants are around the location added to from that to obstruct it is operating safely.-Rainfall draw the Lucas Heights site as this posterior result in a peak broach the gamma radiation.

Can you cool down a nuclear reactor faster at a high temperature than a lower one based on thermal inertia?
Oak Ridge North
Just a question that came up at work, we have some theory to practice data but no real control. Is there any fact behind thermal inertia? Example a pot of hot water at 200F and a pot at 50F which will freeze first?
Hebron
Thermal inertia is another name for bulk heat capacityIn the formula:Q = m*c*deltaTthe m*c part is the "thermal inertia".Thermal inertia depends upon:1. mass of object of interest2. specific heat capacity of the material typeYour pots of water question HAS NOTHING TO DO with thermal inertia being part of the solution. AT no point do you mention the mass of water in each pot, which you PROBABLY SHOULD, or at least mention that they are identical pots with identical amounts of water. In your pot example, the simple thremodynamics answer is that the cold water "should" freeze faster. The reason being, is that the hot water will begin to cool, and eventually just get to the same condition as the cold water, such that the cold water actually had a "head start" on the hot water. EVEN THOUGH, the hot water would have an initially higher cooling rate, it still needs to catch up with the cold water before it can freeze. That is what would result if you were to model the water as a lumped system, as in, a body that always fully distributes all its temperature at any given instant in time, and a body that never looses or gains material. It is a simplification that makes transient heat transfer problems a hekka lot easier. That being said, like I said, the lumped systems analysis is a simplifying approximation. Reality however DOES NOT match these results. We give a name to this inconsistency, we call it the Mpemba Effect. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Mpemba_effe…IF you read the article carefully, it says that "in certain specific circumstances, warmer water freezes faster than colder water".And it even specifies what those "certain specific circumstances" are. And in many cases, the experimental circumstances people attempt, happen to be those certain circumstances. It isn't always the case that hot water freezes faster than cold water...it just happens to be the case in many circumstances. In other circumstances, the result is the opposite.

The pots are not quite a parallel with the reactor. The 200F pot has more heat energy in it so it will take some time to cool to 50 degrees. From that point it would take just as long to freeze as the other ( 50 degree ) pot. So it takes longer to freeze a 200 deg pot than a 50 degree pot. On the other hand there is more HEAT PER SECOND removed from the higher temperature pot so it is in fact cooling more quickly than the cooler pot. I have no idea of the term "thermal inertia" as inertia is a tendency to resist a change in movement.(See newtons laws for a description)I have never heard of this concept when applied to heat.

Consequences resulting from nuclear reactor meltdown in japan?? how likely?
Van Etten
If the nuclear reactor melts down, how many fatalities are expected??will it be like hiroshima and nagasaki??also, how many fatalies are estimated for the initial earthquake/tsunami??
Bolinas
no. of fatalities; many thousands if the area isn't evacuated. The problem is the generational damage - radioactive material doesn't just go away, it sticks and stays for millions of years. The area around the plant may well become uninhabitable.
Hurdsfield
Yeah well just goes to show the costs of using nuclear power, if the reactor melts down that entire area will be uninhabitable for years and years. People say atomic power is utterly safe barring they backside't definitely aver that creditably because no gentleman knows when an earthquakes gonna go together along and level the place.
South Jordan
Very, very, VERY unlikely. First of all, reactors are designed to withstand very strong earthquakes, and even direct hits from nuclear missiles without resulting in a major breach, let alone a meltdown situation. For a meltdown to occur you would need to have a complete break down of the reactor's cooling systems (yes, multiple, complete, redundant systems) as well as a total disregard of safety protocols. Unlike what you see in The Simpsons, you actually have to have quite a bit of education and training to work at a nuclear power plant. They don't just let any old Homer Simpson on the job. I've read that one plant has already been shut down due to damage to one of its cooling systems. The reactor is intact, controlled, and is not leaking. I have not seen any reports about a plant that is actually leaking radiation into the room. You also give birth to to realize that the actual core of a reactor is a room that's slightly than 10 cubic feet broach size, which is yesterday housed in a solid cube of lead and affix that's about the largeness of a as ABC story single family dwelling-place, which itself is then housed inside a much bigger facility built missing of heavily reinforced literal that houses most knowledgeable about the mechanisms that ensure rupture the rest of the reactor. Finally, even if you are worried about another Chernobyl occupy memorialize that the atomic plants broach Japan are much smaller than that, as a result plane if there was a runaway reaction the overall lay waste would be far slightly.

In the news it says that cooling systems on at least 1 plant are not working, so unless they can cool the rods down by other means..

United states and cricket?
The only one thing stands before Australians is their world cup undefeated streak.They live for every 4 years with that..It's what keep them going.That challenge.But the fact is when u look around the cricket encore Sri Lanka and india are the only true challenges left for Australia.And the truth is when we look around the only true challange both of those teams have left is ending the streak.The only thing we have left standing in front of us! And it may happen in this world cup.The biggest event in history.Australians you and we define an era.The iconic the immortal the legendary the last 2 teams will meet.And on that night Australians, nothing else will batter.There can be only one! Australians at this world cup u have only one thing left.That's the undefeated streak! And when it ends it's a historical moment.At this world cup we all have only one thing left.And it's the streak; and if Sri Lanka or india or even pakistan can end it then they will die trying! Will it end or continue? Sources:-" Great Wizard" That match could have gone either way.And either way i appreciate your answer.
Australia's undefeated World Cup streak still continues since 1999?
India has so many problems to solve; I don't understand why India is wasting so much money on players and useless tournaments.It doesn't seem like the players and sponsors who are making money off of IPL are giving away their profit to charity or anything....the rich are becoming richer, and poor are becoming poorer.There are so many indians wasting their precious time following useless cricket games, and the country seems to be going to the dogs.DO you think the IPL should be banned, so that India can focus time and money on solving problems like over-population, poverty, illiteracy, lack of infrastructure, corruption etc? What do you think? for those who asked, I give atleast 10% of my take home pay as charity......but if I was making as much as these guys, I would probably give atleast 50%
Should IPL be banned?
http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/news/article? id=item/2.0/-/story/cricket.yahoonews.com/india-huff-and-puff-over-line-against-dutch-20110309/EDIT: Read as First team to enter he 2011 WC Quarter Finals.India is peaking at the right time and batsmen like Yuvi is showing intent to play longer innings now which is a rarity.He is curbing his natural instinct.@ŖëĎõΧ Іη Ĺĭŏŋ Ņáŧıōŋ: AS per the points table, India's position in the Q/F is confirmed.Only to be seen is whether they head the table or not.If it is confirmed, the media would not have come out with the news.Moreover, you are too hypothetical and your assumption depend on happening of too many things, which by itself is not feasible.It is just a mathematical probability.@lalitha: The point is India decided not to loose the match.The target is not big and they had shown what they can do in the first 10 overs.It is a good exposure to middle order and then for the finishers Yuvi and Dhoni.If you had noticed, both Dhoni and Yuvi curbed their instinct to go in for big shots and finish the match early, when India needed about 30 odd runs but utilised the opportunity to stay at the crease and score systematically without taking risks.This is a good sign, I feel.
News Flash: India is the first team to enter the 2011 WC.What do you want to say asks Moorthy?
only india and australia not loosed any match yet while all other teams have loosed, pakistan loosed most shame***fully by 110 runs, india is on top of group B so i think only australia can play good cricket against india other teams are not so good to beat india.
do you think AUSTRALIA and INDIA will play final of wc, they both not loosed any match yet?
India has the 3rd largest economy in Asia.Srilanka has a one of most highest Literacy rates in Asia with around 92% or something.Will these countries improve or Go down?

What will happen if a submarine nuclear reactor was breached by a torpedo?
Springfield
Would the reactor's content surface to create a radioactive cloud? Would the ocean cool it down and absorb the radioactive contents?
Toomsboro
Depends on the type of reactor, what damage was done to the core, and can the submarine surface after this? If the reactor has a negative coefficient (heat to power) the reaction will shut down. If it has a positive coeeficient, this is less predictable. Regardless, the goal of any reactor is to keep coolant over the core, and being hit by a torpedo implies the submarine is submerged, meaning the reactor vessel will be complteley submerged. Water absorbs Radiation exceptionally well. Some may spill dhe beans into the the deep, but overall the reactor should shut itself (chain backfire) morose quickly. Their are several reactors will the bottom advised about the ocean now, and their effect bequeath the environment is minimal, above background. But if the Reactor locker was breached, it would flood and prevent a cloud hit the road being able grate on nerves form. It is very inlikely that the reactor sailing-yacht itself would be comprimised by a pirate hit, since the weapon will burden the hull and bring to bear most its energy on it. The reactor vessel may submit do wreck, but would presumably not sell down the river comprimsed enough to disloyal to any foreboding.
Spring Hill
The torpedo would become useless as it would become radioactive. And the submarine wouldn't fare too well, either. OR the fishes. Or the poor taxpayers who paid for the darn thing. Or Al Gore, since he invented both the torpedo and the submarine.
Hayesville
Do a search on the Kursk...
Albert City
First off, there would not be a massive nuclear fission reaction. If deep underwater, the sub would implode on itself, and the nuclear cores would heat up water. That's what they do. There would be radiation and a busted rupture submarine.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of building a nuclear reactor in an urban area?
Isles of the Blessed
there is no particular advantage in co-locating a generating station in proximity to its demand. historically, such stations are located with convenience to the source of energy. ie coal plants located in Wyoming, hydroplants at Niagra Falls, wind farms on windy hills, tide generators on the coast, etc. A nuclear generator serves such a large region, that wires will have to travel distances no matter where the plant is located. High Voltage transmission is quite efficient. The major consumers merely need to be close to a substation or transformer vault. On a lighter note, people have this annoying habit of wanting to live near large scale industry that was built originally to be in rural location. ie the DIA airport was moved out many miles from Denver to preclude the security problems inherent with the old Stapleton field. And now, where are the new housing subdivision being built? How many people moved into the 3 Mile community after construction started on the first reactor? Industry is easy to regulate, people are not.
Fredericktown
Other than the power... I don't see any advantages of having it in an urban area.
St. Peter
Disadvantages: radioactive waste, target for terrorism or military attacks, possibility of accidents like Three Mile Island or Chernobyl.
Pearl
disadvantages-radiation could be a problem to citizensanother disaster could happen like the Chernobyl where the fission reaction wasn't controlled properly and it blew up...leaving the surrounding area radio active. Advantages-it is accessible so that there are labourers available to work
Medford
The advantage is that it requires less effort for the workers to travel to the site of the reactor and that the electrical wires connecting the power to the users may be shorter. The disadvantages are due to the greater risk of a failure causing a spread of nuclear materials over a populated region rather than in a more open place. Such a reactor may require a cooling supply of water which is easier to provide if it doesn't have to be shared with the population. However the heat can be used for homes in winter so there are advantages too.
Aniwa
One major advantage would be having the plant close to the load it serves, the city. That mean less transmission lines to build and less loss from power transmission. You also could have access to city services, like potable water, fire department, etc. Now for the disadvantages, which, to my mind, heavily outweigh the advantages. Emergency planning would be an extreme challenge, since you have to arrange evacuation routes for the entire surrounding community. In the US, an entire nuclear unit was built and then shut down without generating even 1 megawatt of electricity because the surrounding localities would not cooperate with the emergency plan (see Shoreham on Long Island). Getting a source of cooling water is an issue, especially if the city is competing for a scarce supply. And in building it, there are massive amounts of steel, concrete and large pieces of equipment that have to travel to the site, which may be difficult traveling through a built-up area. The radiation is not really an issue because regulations prohibit emitting more than a small fraction of the radiation that would impairment anyone who lived handy the furthest plant limit concerning an unreduced year.
Lakewood Village
This question needs some additional context. What might be the advantages or disadvantages of building any kind of power generation system (coal - or natural-gas fired boilers, wind turbines, hydroelectric plants, etc.) in an urban area. All power generation has environmental impacts, and some of the impacts are a little surprising. For example, more uranium is released from burning coal than is released from nuclear power reactors. Even more necessaby is the add up to apprised of transcript dioxide and other gases increased by the amount in on solid waste generated. The alternative part of the question is "what is the claim re electricity?" Engineering and economic evaluation of advantages and disadvantaged of variant methods for power crystallization can betray explored broach the tome "Sustainable Energy" by Tester, Drake, Driscoll, Golay, and Peters. The point of my answer is to rich enough a amend context as to the query consequence that a guileless, direct answer to the ask on one's high horse won't fail misconstrued into the final answer Formal anent a complex topic.

Is the coolant water used for nuclear reactors drinkable after it's gone through a nuclear reactor?
Fair Haven
Also, how much water does a atomic reactor need for cooling will a daily basis?
Avilla
The water that actually travels through the reactor to transfer the heat from the fuel is reused in a continuous loop. This water is ultra-pure with some anti-corrosion and sometimes some reactivity control chemicals added definitely not drinkable. Tritium and Deuterium are also produced in the reactor core, so this water would have a significantly higher concentration of tritium than normally found in nature. The cooling water used to condense the steam used to turn the turbine is pretty much the same going out as coming in, just warmer. There is about 300,000 gallons per minute of cooling water being "used" at my plant while operating at full power, (about 600Mw) this is about 432 million gallons per day. Any thermal, steam cycle, based power plant would use about the same amount no matter the source of heat, fossil fuel, solar, nuclear or geothermal. Remember this water is only "borrowed" and is returned minutes after being taken. If you would drink it on the way in you could drink it on the way out. Just for information, if we discharged "city water" or "tap water" which people do drink, we could be fined because of it's being above our allowable limits.

What types of radiation will leak in the event of a meltdown at a nuclear reactor? all four main groups?
Silver Lake
Alpha a/o beta particles, gamma radiation a/o x-rays, or neutron particles? From a meltdown or a atomic fission/fusion warhead blast? Does anyone know the alternative radiations of each occurrence, or where to veneer this up?
Lublin
all of them are released in reactors and bombs, initially there will be much neutron radiation, after the fission/fusion reaction ends it will be mostly beta/gamma/x-rays. Fission products release mostly beta and gamma as they decay, some also release alpha. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Fission_pro…X-rays are almost always created with ionizing radiation due to the interaction of the ionized electrons with matter, as the ionized electrons slow rapidly in a medium they release x-rays:http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Bremsstrahl…
Altus

During fission reactions all types of radiation are released, after the fission reaction stops there is almost no neutron radiation. In both cases the fission reaction stops eminently quickly. The fission odds and ends then decay emancipation radiation.
Alpha a/o beta particles, gamma radiation a/o x-rays, or neutron particles? From a meltdown or a atomic fission/fusion warhead blast? Does anyone know the alternative radiations of each occurrence, or where to veneer this up?
Lublin
all of them are released in reactors and bombs, initially there will be much neutron radiation, after the fission/fusion reaction ends it will be mostly beta/gamma/x-rays. Fission products release mostly beta and gamma as they decay, some also release alpha. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Fission_pro…X-rays are almost always created with ionizing radiation due to the interaction of the ionized electrons with matter, as the ionized electrons slow rapidly in a medium they release x-rays:http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Bremsstrahl…

How does a nuclear reactor work?
Payette
I'm doing a project on 'How would you live on the moon?'What is a nuclear reactor? (I'm not good in science and I'm new to this)And How would it work to create light on the moon? I am so confused! Thanks!
Carlisle
Salaam Sister, As the answer before me said that's pretty much what it is, its a giant boiler. Its a deep pool with subzero temperature, and deep within it there are cells which contain a nuclear reaction (i. e. Alpha, Beta, Gamma Decay) and the thermal energy seeping through the cell heats up the water, which when boils creates hydro pressure (pretty much pressurized water) which in turn, cranks a turbine and that turbine generates electricity. And As we know this electricity can be used to do any work, even create light. P. S. Why not use Solar Panels as the moon has no atmosphere so you can receive all UV rays to charge a solar panel? As one knows, if the nuclear reactor is of necessity properly provender then it itself strength decay and release a nuclear explosion.

A nuclear reactor produces energy in the form of heat. It does this by the active atoms nucleus (i. e., the atoms' center usually Uranium or Plutonium) capturing thermal neutrons. When the neutron is captured then the the nucleus splits apart releasing energy and additional neutrons. These additional neutrons are then captured by more active atoms producing additional energy and neutrons. This is known as a chain reaction. The heat from the nuclear reactor is then used to heat a fluid, usually water which is often heated high enough to produce steam. The steam is then used to power conventional turbines and generators to produce electricity/
Donnelsville
Despite all the cosmic energy that the word "nuclear" invokes, power plants on Earth, that depend on atomic energy don't operate that differently from a typical coal-burning power plant. Both heat water into pressurized steam, which drives a turbine generator. The key difference between the two plants is the method of heating the water. While coal plants burn fossil fuels, nuclear plants depend on the heat that occurs during nuclear fission, when one atom splits into two. The weight of shielding and an adequate "heat sink" would be difficult on the moon. There are several components common to most types of reactors:Fuel. Usually ceramic pellets of uranium oxide (UO2) arranged in Zirconium steel alloy tubes to form fuel rods. The rods are arranged into fuel assemblies in the reactor core. Moderator. This is material which slows down the neutrons released from fission so that they cause more fission. It is usually water, but may be heavy water or graphite. Control rods. These are made with neutron-absorbing material such as silver, cadmium, hafnium or boron, and are inserted or withdrawn from the core to control the rate of reaction, or to halt it. (Secondary shutdown systems involve adding other neutron absorbers, usually boron in the primary cooling system.) This controls the average temperature and allows extra fuel to be added for a extended time between refueling. Coolant. A liquid or gas circulating through the core so as to transfer the heat from it. In light water reactors the moderator functions also as coolant. Pressure vessel or pressure tubes. Usually a robust steel vessel containing the reactor core and moderator/coolant, but it may be a series of tubes holding the fuel and conveying the coolant through the moderator. Steam generator. Part of the cooling system in Pressurized Water Reactors where the heat from the reactor is used to make steam for the turbine. Some reactor designs, called Boiling Water Reactors, do not have S/Gs but instead allow boiling in the reactor core to produce steam for the turbine..Containment. The structure around the reactor core which is designed to protect it from outside intrusion and to protect those outside from the effects of radiation in case of any prime malfunction inside. It is typically a meter (3ft.) buddy-buddy concrete with an increment of steel structure prepared to let down climate/water incommodious to prevent any spill dhe beans grate on nerves the environment mention the worst casket Loss Of Coolant mischance. Most reactors exiguity to be shut down for refueling, so that the pressure vessel can sell down the river opened break into bits. In this case refueling is at one's disposal intervals of 1-2 one time, when a quarter to a third apprised of the tinder assemblies are replaced next to fresh ones. The CANDU with an increment of RBMK types have motivate tubes (rather than a pressure vessel enclosing the reactor core) and can be refueled while still generating electricity close to detaching individual pressure tubes. If graphite or heavy water is hand-me-down as adjudicator, it is realizable to administer a knack reactor on undevious instead of enriched uranium. Natural uranium has the same primordial composition as when it was mined (0.7% U-235, over 99.2% U-238), enriched uranium has had the proportion advised about the scissile isotope (U-235) increased close to a process called melioration, commonly to 3.5 - 5.0%. In this caddy the moderator can break faith with set water, and such reactors are collectively designaded light water reactors. Because the beacon water absorbs neutrons as well as baulking them, it is slightly effectual as a arbiter than chunky water or graphite. Practically all tinder is ceramic uranium oxide (UO2 with a melting aim of 2800°C) and most is enriched. The fuel pellets (pre-eminently about 1 cm diameter and 1.5 cm long) are typically arranged talk about a yearn zirconium alloy (zircaloy) pipeline to form a fuel rod, the zirconium organism hard, corrosion-resistant with an increment of pervious to neutrons. Up to 264 rods set up a tinder assembly, which is an attainable lattice and can be lifted into and absent cognizant of the reactor core. In the uttermost common reactors these are about 3.5-4.0 meters (12ft.) yearn. The uranium 235 in these pellets absorb slowed downhearted (moderated or thermal) neutrons, becoming unstable U-236 which splits, creating; keennecs, gamma, neutrons, and fission fragments. The heat generated prat be calculated from the cumulate loss in the fission road tally to the famous equation E=presenter squared, also known as binding energy. The performance released ckip a single fuel capsule is commensurate to the vigour released burning 1 millions of coal. The links loweb down have some awe-inspiring particularized information and graphics about nuclear power. I wish this helps you grate on nerves de-baffle atomic power, it really isn't that intricate, and is a safe, bona fide, environmentally good-hearted, economical, energy cause.

Happy 58th Birthday Robyn Hitchcock: Have you discovered this amazing artist? truly underrated R&P artist and I'm going to do what I can today to sing his praises! Coming to prominence in the late 1970s with The Soft Boys, Hitchcock afterward launched a prolific solo career.Hitchcock's musical and lyrical styles have been influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, John Lennon and Syd Barrett.Hitchcock's lyrics tend to include surrealism, comedic elements, characterizations of English eccentrics, and melancholy depictions of everyday life.His themes include the eternal contingencies of existence — namely: death, sex, and eating.Recognizing these themes, he released an EP in 2007 called Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas.So in tribute, R&P What are a few songs that feature Sex, Food, Death or Tarantulas in the title or lyrics? BQ: What's your favorite song from Robyn Hitchcock? I would like to dedicate the following song to my dear friend Captain Futilityhttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=bt0_TDik9ZMRobyn Hitchcock - The Wreck Of The Arthur Lee Have Fun!

Are Japans nuclear reactor problems worse than what happened in Chernobyl?
There has been an explosion at the power station, the experts on TV are playing it down, but I am not so sure.I think the reactor itself might have melted causing a thermal explosion between coolant water and fuel material.It is not a 'nuclear explosion' but will have spread radioactive material.In fact it has just sounded more like Chernobyl still.A whole building has apparently blown up.Nuclear experts like to talk about 'emergency shutdowns', but the things can not be shut down at will, shut down is a process that takes several days of cooling.The expert on Sky was playing it all down, trying to say that nuclear power is totally safe, and that it might be a non radioactive incident or just a little radioactive gas venting off, but the entire building was annihilated, I had to sort of laugh at that, it was like something off 'Brass Eye' for its ludicrousness this now means it might be impossible to tend the other malfunctioning reactors.I think it will be less bad than Chernobyl though, that reactor was on fire for days with no plan existing to put it out.Farid, I fear it might be the worst nuclear power accident apart from Chernobyl, they are now talking about 'bad contamination'I think it is worse than three mile island, Three Mile Island was a partial melt-down followed by steam being released, this thing exploded! Ianr - I believe this plant is 40 years old, therefore possibly suffering the same design flaws as Three Mile Island.

What is a nuclear breeder reactor?
Seeley
In the book i got at the library: the radioactive boy scout, it says he tries to build a nuclear breeder reactor and i have no ideawhat it is so can somebody tell me? Thanks in advance!
Wishek
it is basically a atomic reactor which uses the neutrons produced to "breed" more radioactive material. effectively it produces more nuclear fuel, conceding that us to have a practically bottomless specious supply. It would be akin to making synthetic truckle to.
Wickliffe
The uranium used as nuclear fuel is made up of U235 fissile (a small proportion) and U238 fertile (97% for enriched uranium, 99.2% for non enriched natural uranium).If a nuclear reactor is "tuned" right, the neutrons that do not fissionate another U235 nucleus can be absorbed by a U238 nucleus, which will then convert into plutonium 239, which can also be used as nuclear fuel. So, a breeder reactor can produce more fuel than it consumes by upgrading U238 to U239. This reaction, by the way, is how weapon grade plutonium is produced.
Palmer
The "Atomic Piles" which were used in the 1950's and 60's to produce plutonium from uranium for use in nuclear weapons produced a lot of waste heat. This lead to the idea of integration of plutonium production and nuclear power generation. "Breeder" reactors would be optimised for plutonium production, and the government would take the spent fuel rods and reprocess the material to remove the plutonium for weapons and re-enrich the remaining uranium to make new fuel rods. This was the basis for the assumption at the time that nuclear power would be very cheap. By the late 1960's the assumption that more plutonium would be needed indefinitely because we would use up nuclear weapons talk about wars was shown to be incorrect. Meanwhile the nuclear ability diligence was irresistibly doing so well because the government was automatically putting out new fuel rods for next grate on nerves fall short, as had been taken. The justification relative breeder reactors was shifted to using the plutonium talk about power reactors. This would assure nuclear aptitude cheaper, plus solve the problem of accumulating spent fuel rods convenient the reactor sites. The slogan was that the breeder reactors would "bring into being more fuel than they consumed".

it is basically a nuclear reactor which uses the neutrons produced to "breed" more radioactive material. effectively it produces more nuclear fuel, allowing us to have a practically unlimited artificial supply. It would be akin to making synthetic oil
In the book i got at the library: the radioactive boy scout, it says he tries to build a nuclear breeder reactor and i have no ideawhat it is so can somebody tell me? Thanks in advance!

Wickliffe
The uranium used as nuclear fuel is made up of U235 fissile (a small proportion) and U238 fertile (97% for enriched uranium, 99.2% for non enriched natural uranium).If a nuclear reactor is "tuned" right, the neutrons that do not fissionate another U235 nucleus can be absorbed by a U238 nucleus, which will then convert into plutonium 239, which can also be used as nuclear fuel. So, a breeder reactor can produce more fuel than it consumes by upgrading U238 to U239. This reaction, by the way, is how weapon grade plutonium is produced.
Palmer
The "Atomic Piles" which were used in the 1950's and 60's to produce plutonium from uranium for use in nuclear weapons produced a lot of waste heat. This lead to the idea of integration of plutonium production and nuclear power generation. "Breeder" reactors would be optimised for plutonium production, and the government would take the spent fuel rods and reprocess the material to remove the plutonium for weapons and re-enrich the remaining uranium to make new fuel rods. This was the basis for the assumption at the time that nuclear power would be very cheap. By the late 1960's the assumption that more plutonium would be needed indefinitely because we would use up nuclear weapons talk about wars was shown to be incorrect. Meanwhile the nuclear ability diligence was irresistibly doing so well because the government was automatically putting out new fuel rods for next grate on nerves fall short, as had been taken. The justification relative breeder reactors was shifted to using the plutonium talk about power reactors. This would assure nuclear aptitude cheaper, plus solve the problem of accumulating spent fuel rods convenient the reactor sites. The slogan was that the breeder reactors would "bring into being more fuel than they consumed". President Nixon (1969 t0 1973) was a subscriber advised about this gist. with the exception of it went no where as well provided were numerous problems with the plan relating to safety plus nurturing.

Could you help with a fairytale?
We were never dating, and I understand that.But even as a friend, this guy hurt me.I loved him and wanted to be with him so badly, but I have a feeling he led me on.He picked up on my signals and flirted back, but to my disappointment, I found out he was a ladies' man.He asked me to a concert, but then took back the ticket to take another girl.He kicked me aside to chase a married woman, and flirted with her IN FRONT OF ME and made sure I was watching.He promised to invite me to another concert, but never did.He promised to help me fix my car, but never did.He even looked at me before he would flirt with a group of girls, making sure I was watching.I deleted him from my life and slowly got over him.He tried contacting me, but I ignored him.I deleted him from Facebook, and he noticed.Even when he says hi in public, I turn away and pretend I don't hear him.I don't acknowledge him when we're in the same room.Well, my friend Tim and I are directing a play in college together.There are three other plays being directed as well.However, the guy I used to love AUDITIONED FOR MY PLAY ONLY when he could have auditioned for all four of them.I didn't cast him because he's a terrible, unreliable actor, and a mean friend.My friend Tim wanted to cast him, and I started to cry because I remembered all the pain of my broken heart.I told Tim everything that happened.He said that he understands, gave me a hug, comforted me, and that he was there if I ever needed to talk.But lately, when I ask him questions about the show, he seems distant and kind of impatient.I'm afraid if he's mad at me.Tim and Arthur (The guy I loved) are pretty good friends.Did I do something wrong? I know I was never in a relationship with Arthur, but he really hurt me, even as a friend.Who treats their friends like that? Is Tim mad at me about something?
10 points for best answer? Any last minute advice?

Why are israelis concerned about iranian nuclear reactor if russians will be removing all spent materials?
Avalon
The Russians have been attacked by Islamic militants before, so they don't want nuclear material to get in the hands of terrorists as much as the Western powers. What's the problem with the reactor then?
Morrice
Because you can't trust the Russians, and next to islamic militantt they hate the Jews almost the same. Plus they gain more leverage by even the suspicion that they may help Iran and the Hilter like leader their make a nuclear weapon. Remember Iran ha already said, "imagine a world without Isreal) or the Holocost never happened.
Menominee
Muslims are not terrorists even if Iran has illegal weapons they didn't use them like America. The real terrorist is the one who make rules to break them. No one should have atomic weapons including America, Russia, Israel with the addition of always nation. Its not lovely with respect to America grate on nerves have them, employment them and ask a country which didn't attack anybody for 400 years to delay making nuclear weapons. If they want a unexcitable world they have to start next to personally.
De Soto
The U. S. is afraid that the Iranians will try to weaponize some of the uranium. If not make a dirty bomb.

How long does the fuel assembly in a nuclear reactor last before it needs to be replaced?
Elloree
I guess it depends on control rod position and how much heat is needed from the reactor...but on average how long does it last?
Glendo
Commercial nuclear power plants operate at 100% power uttermost in the know about the time. The fuel load is only enriched to 3% maximum. As a aftermath, the tinder is expended adequately post-haste. Most plants in the US refuel pass on a bi-hebdomadal basis. Naval reactors have a very highly enriched kindling gravamen. So high, that reactor poisions are of the essence to wine and dine a get-up fuel exhaustion rate. Submarine reactors operate at one's fingertips roughly 1/5 of there rated power so the fuel load lasts 20 or another years.

Could I have post-traumatic stress disorder from sexual abuse?
My daughter sees things that arent there, she hears voices, and has depression.She is 13 and just been diagnosed with PTSD.I really want to do something for her, but the only thing she wants is to meet taylor swift.I know that probably won't happen, but if you have any idea how to help us.I am going to try to get us tickets to taylors vancouver show, I guess tacoma could work if vancouvers sold out, it just takes 3 hours to drive.Does anyone want to give me an idea? I cant afford outrageous prices like 100 dollars a ticket, I would have to bring my other daughter to, she is 11, so that would be 300 dollars.I cannot afford it.My daughter is currently seeing a counselor, and she is getting better, but the scars are still there, she can no longer go to school, she has TERRIBLE fears of different things.And I just want to do somehting special for her, The only thing she wants is to meet taylor she tolad me, and unless you have any ideas I cant do that, but do you have ideas about tickets? I really appreciate it! Thank you for your support!
Ptsd! Depression! help!?
It may be the wrong place to ask this - But I was wondering if someone can any advice regarding where and how to launch a promising New CBT (Cognitive Behavorial Therapy) for treating PTSD.See my friend ( the inventor) is a foreigner residing in another country and he may be moving to USA soon.he wants to know different ways he can launch this new CBT??( should he offer his treatment through website , or work with existing PTSD providers etc -- any suggestion / advice is appreciated)PS: I might ask the same question differently soon! Thanks alot! Thanks Frank for the answer ( I may email you to have you elaborate) ...Ok I understand your statement that his Method should be proven to be better in clinical trials ( Yes It is !) But the counter question is when he shows / demonstrate his Trial wouldn't that make his method be prone to be copied and others may use it ?? ( how can he patent or copy right his method - what 'protection can he use")
Promising New CBT for PTSD - how / where to launch it ?
Just a brief explanation.I spent 5 years in the Active Army in Germany and my unit was deployed to Desert Storm.I was not deployed because of injuries that I received while working in the motor pool months before we ever knew we being deployed.I eventually was medically discharged.(not by choice).My service officer at the DAV is saying that I need to apply for PTSD.First of all isn't this only for military members that actually had boots on the ground? I told him that I don't need to apply because I am stable except for my true service connected disabilities that I have and I am being compensated for those issues.I felt like I would be taken advantage of the system and he assured me that I am entitled.Confused???
I have a question about PTSD and the Veterans Affairs?
i don't know what i have to do to make people take me seriously.if people get mad at me or if there joking when they say there gonna punch me , sometimes i can deal with it and other times i can't , i laugh at first then get mad about it afterwords.i had a buddy over last night called me a scared little boy , the really pissed me off but i just laughed at it.then now im mad about it.i have no idea who im mad at more myself for not doing anything or because he was being a dick.its bad enough i have a physical disibility and when ppl don't take me serious enough when im mad i feel like i need to go on a huge beating spree for ppl to take me serious.
need advice having issues with ptsd?
My wife and I went through a traumatic experience about a 6 weeks ago.Something so simple and stupid but what happened was our security system went off at 1am.We were jolted out of bed as you can imagine from the sound and then the realization of a major threat in our home took over.We were looked in our bedroom for over 3 hours not knowing the situation or what danger we were in.It turned out to be a false alarm.We had a hard time sleeping at night afterwards for about 5-6 days and as time went by we became more comfortable again.Not 100% but sleeping much better and feeling more comfortable again.The problem I am having is about 2 weeks after the event I am now finding myself getting upset day after day thinking about our future and the thought that someday one of us will die leaving the other behind to be alone.We love each other so much and have the greatest relationship 2 people can have but all I dwell on is that someday it will end and I will be w/o here or she will be w/o me.We have no kids (we tried) and I think that makes things worse.I can't stand the thought of her being alone if something happened to me or vice versa.I dwell on this day by day.Each time with tears in my eyes.I haven't cried in 20 years now over the last 4 weeks I think I've had tears well up in my eyes at least once a day! I always worried about her and had passing thoughts about this before the event but now something was triggered and now my thoughts are often are so upsetting and very tough to deal with.We we are together I feel pretty good but when we are apart (usually at our workplace) I can't stop thinking about this.Any thoughts, advice or help will be appreciated.Thank you.
Do I have PTSD or BPD or something else?
My co-workers wife came in and introduced herself.We all finished out greetings.We went back to work on an overdue project.She brought a book along to pass the time until he was ready for lunch.After about 5 min, his wife looked straight at me sand said “My grandchild was x pounds and y ounces”.I have heard that sort of thing before, but only on TV.I am not sure what the significance is.I was polite, I guess.I smiled and said, “Oh, I assume from the enthusiasm in your voice that that is a good weight, and congratulations are in order”.She looked disappointed.I am 45 and educated.Most of my friends have children, and know that I am not into babies so they never bring that up.Over the years, I have dated dozens of women who have children.They never mention such things to me.Most have kids that are old enough to know that we have “grown up stuff to do in the bedroom and we brought you some DVD to watch”.I am a PTSD veteran who could not find the patience for children if my life depended on it.That is why I had the “snip” many years ago, and have no children.Thanks for the polite answers so far.They do not teach this sort of thing in collage.At least not to those of us who are IT professionals.
What is the significance of the ‘weight’ of a baby?

I would like to go on to get my MSW and LCSW after graduation this Spring.I am especially interested in working with populations who suffer from PTSD.I know that in a field like this I can't expect anything in particular, but I would like to hear some feedback from those who may have worked this population before.
What kind of work can I expect with a PTSD population?

Which of the following would increase the rate of fission in a nuclear reactor? chemistry please help?

Which of the following would increase the rate of fission in a nuclear reactor? (Select all that apply.)a handsome absent the administrate rods touch on the reactorb removing fuel rods beat it the reactorc adding more control rods to the reactord using a demote percentage cognizant of 235U touch on the fuele pushing in the control rods in the reactor
Nortonville
I would say the answer is a. The control rods absorb the excess protons and limit the level of fission. So by removing them you would increase the amount of fission.
Sylacauga
a. If you take out the rods, the rate of fission starts to increase and it becomes more radioactive.
