What are the issues of uranium?
It can be used to make nuclear weapons. Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications Disadvantages of uranium: it is a toxic and radioactive metal. Uncontrolled working procedures can lead to contamination of waters and soils. Radon is also released from uranium.
What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
nuclear fusion make more energy and they both make energy and have waste products
Why did the government investigate Robert J Oppenheimer?
It's pretty convoluted, but the short answer is that they thought he might be a Soviet spy. Oppenheimer had, when younger, had some friends and acquaintances who were communists. He had drifted apart from most of these, but was still on fairly good terms with at least one of them. A Soviet agent approached his friend, and that friend spoke with Oppenheimer about it. Very briefly and casually; it was something along the lines of "So-and-so was wondering if there anything you can do to make sure the Soviets are kept in the loop, perhaps unofficially?" and Oppenheimer's response was something along the lines of "No, that's not how to do these things." The problem was that when Oppenheimer reported this to his superiors, he didn't report it accurately and tried to hide his own involvement and that of his friend. He just said that "some people" had been approached on behalf of the Soviets. So the US started a big spy hunt for these Soviet agents, and Oppenheimer's responses to their questions weren't adding up. In fact, he wound up making things a lot worse for his friend than was actually justified, because the Government already suspected both Oppenheimer and his friend based on their (known) past association with communists, and Oppenheimer trying to cover it up made it look as if their involvement had been much more sinister than it really was.
How has the atom bomb been improved?
A number of improvements have been made in nuclear weapons. They involve the more precise construction (the shape or geometry of the bomb) and the more efficient method of triggering the device. These changes have allowed us to make nuclear weapons that will fit easily in an overnight bag and have permitted us to package numbers of them in a single missile for delivery on multiple targets. All with a minimized probability of a dud, and a maximized (or even a variable) yield.
Does the government use uranium?
Yes, the government uses uranium. Uranium is mined, refined and then enriched to provide nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Depleted uranium, the uranium "left over" from enrichment, is used in munitions to defeat armor, and in some types of armor. On a related note, enriched uranium is in demand by some sovern states and religeous/political factions to make nuclear weapons, though the "modern" nuclear powers use plutonium as the fissionable element in their nuclear devices. The plutonium is made by "soaking" uranium in the neutron flux of an operating nuclear reactor for a time. This changes (transmutes) some of the uranium to plutonium, which is then recovered and processed.
