Nuclear energy Definition and 56 Threads

The last thread on this topic was shut down because it was unfair because there weren't enough choices, and there was too much editorializing in the OP. So we'll keep it simple this time. Should nuclear energy be phased out? Yes No Maybe . . . Don't know Couldn't care less

Given the numerous externalities associated with nuclear energy including but not limited to Expense Safety Waste Disposal Vulnerability to Terrorist Attack perhaps it's time to reconsider whether we really need nuclear in the energy mix in the United States--and instead concentrate on other...

The mass of an atom is less than the sum of its parts. The difference in mass is called the mass defect, and E = mc^2 shows how much energy that difference in mass has. Since mass and energy interchange in nuclear reactions, mass and energy would go on different sides of the equation. Here is...

Is it possible to generate energy from chemicals in a way that would be economical, and safer compared to nuclear energy, such as the removal of electrons, etc?

If you let go two oposite charges from distance D they will start to attract and if they can pass thru each other when they meet they will distant them selfs until they reach -D distance. They they will start geting back until they get to the initial distance D. This domain from D to -D via the...

1. Calculate the wavelength of an x-ray which has a frequency of 10^16 Hz 2. Calculate the Energy associated with an x-ray with a frequency from Question 1. * I don't know how to do this, but from looking at the electromagnetic spectrum, it tells you. But i want to know how to calculate...
