My own personal things to spice up the atmosphere.
Nuclear fission appeared to lead the race as energy alternative decades ago, as countries began building reactors. Worldwide, about 440 nuclear plants now generate 16% of the planet’s electric power, and some countries have gone heavily nuclear. France, for instance, gets 78% of its electricity from fission.
It is clear that nuclear fission provide abundant power, no carbon dioxide emissions to increase the global temperature.
Fusion is the gaudiest of hopes, the fire of the stars in the human hearth. Produced when two atoms fuse in to one, fusion energy could satisfy huge chunks of future demands. The fuel would last for millennia. Fusion would produce no long-lived radioactive waste and nothing for terrorists or governments to turn into weapons.
Hot fusion is tough because the fuel-a kind of hydrogen-has to be heated to a hundred million degrees Celsius or so before the atoms start to fuse. At those temperatures, the hydrogen forms a roiling, unruly vapor of electrically charged particles, called plasma.
“Plasma is the most common state of matter in the Universe,” says one physicist, “but it’s also the most chaotic and the least easily controlled.” Creating and containing plasma is so challenging that no fusion experiment has yet returned more then 65% of the energy it took to start the reaction.
Used nuclear fuel is rich in plutonium and leftover uranium-valuable nuclear material that the nuclear plant is designed to salvage. It will “reprocess” the spent fuel into a mixture of enriched uranium and plutonium called MOX, for mixed oxide fuel. MOX can be burned in some modern reactors and could stretch the fuel supply for decades or more.
Reprocessing plants in other countries also turn spent fuel into MOX. But those plants originally made plutonium for nuclear weapons, so the Japanese like to say that theirs, due to start up in 2007, is the first such plant built entirely for peaceful use.
The tests that we are having are killing us.Some people may feel that it is chicken feat.But too much chicken feat[feet],we will die of high blood cholestrol.This is our first class blog,of course,we feel happy.All students of G.E.S.S are allowed to see,but only class 2F is priveledged to edit it and objects to it. But even if they object,they must provide valid reasons to delete.Of course,we believed everyone in my class wun object.
