Why does nuclear energy cost so much?
Because it is very dangerous to run and the technology is also very expensive.
What does nuclear energy include?
Mostly power plants operating with fission reactors. Also experiments with nuclear fusion, and nuclear weapons
How is Albert Einstein's equation Emc2 important today?
The equation, E = mc2, is important today because it is the basic equation of nuclear physics. So for example it is used to calculate the amount of energy produced by the fuel in a nuclear power station, or the amount of energy potentially released in a hydrogen bomb. It is also important is astrophysical models of stars, where energy is provided by nuclear fusion. The equation is used alot in particle physics to calculate the masses of particles produced and to calculate the the energy needed to produce particular particles.
What are the known uses of nobelium?
Nobelium has no uses, it is only for research.
What would happen if a nuclear bomb hit?
If a nuclear bomb hit, it would cause catastrophic damage and death to the surrounding area. The bomb sends out a fire ball that destroys buildings and everything in its pathway. It also sends out radiation in the form of gamma rays that is harmful to everything around it. It is unsure the exact damage, because each individual could be exposed to different amounts.
What can nuclear be used for?
Nuclear energy or nuclear technology is mainly used for producing electricity but is also useful for producing active isotopes which are used in medecine and industry
What is application of nuclear science and technology?
In power production (i.e. production of electricity) in nuclear power plants. It is also used in curing cancer.
Does 'Technology is Dangerous'?
Nothing is dangerous by its self. We are living in 21st century that is the century of technology advancement. No Technology is dangerous but its use of this who makes it dangerous or useful for mankind, e.g. Nuclear that can be used to produce energy and we can also make nuclear bomb. Its all about how to use technology positive or negative.
How is nuclear energy used in science?
Nuclear energy is used in science in three general areas. We rely on nuclear technology in a number of areas of medicine. We also use nuclear energy to generate power. There are also research applications where nuclear physics is applied to learn and understand more about the subatomic world.
Why plutonium is important?
Plutonium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors to produce electric energy. Also plutonium is indispensable for nuclear weapons.
Why does nuclear cost so much?
Because it is very dangerous to run and the technology is also very expensive.
Why was technology important to hindus?
Because they are also humans...
What the important of man made elements in nuclear energy?
For example plutonium is a nuclear fuel; also the isotope 233U.
Have people benefited from the discovery of uranium?
Nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, also some less important applications
Why is lead harmful when ingested but mercury not harmful?
The dose makes the poison. Both are harmful above certain levels. The exact chemical form is also important.
Why does nuclear energy cost so much?
Because it is very dangerous to run and the technology is also very expensive.
Is nuclear energy harmful to a pregnant women?
Its not the nuclear energy, per se, that is harmful, it is the ionizing radiation that comes from the nuclear energy that is harmful. Also, its not the pregnant woman that's the issue, its the developing fetus that's the issue. Ionizing radiation is extremely harmful to developing fetal tissue, because any errors introduced at this stage have a very risk risk of compromising the viability of the fetus. Last, and lets be crystal clear on this point... nuclear energy itself is harmful to no one. Its the "generation of nuclear energy", i.e. the reactor itself, the power plant itself, that is the issue, if, in any way possible, there is an issue. You would not want a pregnant woman working as a radiation worker any more than you would want to give a pregnant woman an x-ray.
