The Pros And Cons Of Nuclear Fusion

In 1939, the scientific community, specifically German physicists had learned the secrets of splitting a uranium atom (The Manhattan Project” 2015). America realized that Adolf Hitler’s Germany obtained a massive amount of scientific talent. With their access had necessary raw materials and knowledge of the splitting of the uranium atom, they had the industrial capacity to produce an atomic bomb(“Manhattan Project”2014). The atomic bomb would eventually become the turning point of weaponry during World War II. On October 11, 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt received a letter from Albert Einstein about the splitting of the uranium atom which could be beneficial in developing weapons for America during World War II. The Manhattan Project was constructed during World War II by the United States to develop the first nuclear weapon/atomic bomb (The Manhattan Project” 2015).

I wholeheartedly believe that Nuclear Energy will play an inevitably central role as a reliable energy source in Australia’s future. Australia must invest in Nuclear energy because coal and oil are becoming scarce, requires less fuel and is eco-friendly. Australia is blessed with the world’s largest known uranium resources (a bountiful 38% according to Professor Mary O’Kane NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer). ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) reports: ‘No country of Australia’s economic size or larger is without nuclear power’. Time for Australia to get investing!

The global energy demand is increasing as years go by as there is a rapid growth of population in deed of power. Due to the high demand for energy, many people are opting to replace other forms of energy with nuclear power because of its safety, reliability, and sustainability. In addition, it is one of the cleanest carbon free sources of energy available in the world today. Nuclear power is the use of continuous nuclear fission to produce electricity and heat. However, there are a number of controversies over the use of nuclear energy with some supporting its use while others opposing the use of nuclear energy. Despite the controversy on whether to use nuclear energy as an alternative, nuclear power has proved to be safe, reliable, clean, and inexpensive. Therefore, Nuclear energy should replace other forms of power around the globe because it is more environmentally friendly, cost effective, and safe for use and to exist with human beings compared to other forms of energy being used today.

Hydrogen bombs are more than 1000 times more powerful than the very common atomic bomb. The explosion is from nuclear fusion which is when hydrogen nuclei (plural of nucleus) are joined to form helium nuclei, releasing great destructive energy and radioactive fallout. When the nuclei combine there is a split second where there is nothing and then there is the explosion. An atomic bomb is the trigger or the smaller bomb of what sets off the hydrogen bomb. We have to be careful with the hydrogen bomb because, if used, it will cause a major catastrophe far greater than the damage done by the atomic bomb.

In this day and age where energy is one of the greatest factors in world events, it is unsurprising to see nuclear energy, the bridge between fossil fuels and renewable resources, argued for and against so fiercely. Yet under this umbrella term of “nuclear energy” that people enjoy throwing around, there are two wildly different forms of energy. Things that perhaps shouldn’t be lumped together so haphazardly. Those are Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.

It 's challenging to look back at events and understand the logic of using an atomic bomb without allowing one scrap of knowledge to creep into our decision making. All of this being said, it 's still possible to come to the conclusion that using this weapon was wrong.

Over 20 percent of the energy in the United States comes from nuclear energy power plants. (Rinkesh, 2018) They so their best to get as much energy to the country as possible, but there are those out there who don’t agree with them. While there are downsides to nuclear energy, the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Nuclear power plants are a great way to get energy because they don’t let out much pollution, are very efficient, and are very safe.

We all know that the droppings of the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War 2, but was it really the right thing to do? World war 2 was one of the most devastating wars fought in the history of mankind, resulting in the death of millions on both sides of the war. The dropping of the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the best strategic and political thing to do, but it might not have been the most moral thing to do.

The american public and military personnel saw the only two options for the defeat of Japan. Either to invade the Japanese homeland, or dropping an atomic bomb on Japan. There were in fact a number of alternatives that could have evaded both of these possibilities. A key alternative was to perform a demonstration of the bomb. This alternative was supported by a committee of scientists at the University of Chicago’s Metallurgical Laboratory, a significant Manhattan Project facility. Two months before the bombing of Hiroshima, the team of scientists chaired by James Franck, created a report contending the use of the first atomic bomb on an inhabited city. The committee argued that a demonstration of the bomb on a barren piece of land or island could be an effective warning to the Japanese without causing casualties.Another possible place for a demonstration of the first atomic bomb could have been the centre of Tokyo Bay, which would have been visible from the Imperial Palace but have little to no casualties if exploded high in the air.

Good afternoon everyone! My name is William. Today, I am going to talk about Canada should use more nuclear energy. Before I start to talk about it, I want to ask few questions. What do you think about nuclear energy is safe or not? Do you know why nuclear energy is important to us? And do you really know why we need to have this kind of energy? After my speech, it will make you to understand why we need to rely on this kind of energy. I will provide some information, examples or stories, facts, few rebuttal reasons and conclusions to proof why Canada should use more nuclear energy.

When the United States first entered World War II it was not only because they wanted to help Europe from being controlled by an evil dictator. It was also about how the United States was attacked on its own soil. This devastating act happened on Pearl Harbor, December 7 1941. Japan decided that they would attack the United States with blunt force and make sure that they knew Japan was an enemy that the United States would never forget. Japan did not take into consideration that the United States was a country that would avenge its devastation.

On August 6 and August 9 of 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. This decision fell on the former vice president, newly inaugurated president, Harry Truman. It has remained one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. history. His decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan shook the world.

RaizArc Energy’s company vision, or core ideology is broken up into core values, and a core purpose. A core ideology is an unchanging credo that lasts for the duration of the company’s life (Collins & Porras, 1996). Thus, RaizArc aims to deliver sustainable energy. Therefore, the core values are safety, innovation, sustainability, and reliability. Next, the core purpose defines the reason behind a company’s conception (Collins & Porras, 1996). Consequently, RaizArc’s core purpose is to deliver the sustainable energy through the use of cutting edge nuclear technology.

“Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.”

Nuclear energy is something that we`ve all heard about. It carries risk and potential. When an atom (Uranium and Plutonium in nuclear power plants) is bombarded by neutrons, it can be split, causing fission. This fission releases more neutrons, which causes a chain reaction. Nuclear power plants use this use the heat that is created by fission to heat water that spins their turbines (“Nuclear Energy”). The potential is limitless, and it should be realized as they have low greenhouse gas emissions, are efficient, powerful, cheap and reliable. Positives outweigh the negatives, and we should keep on using nuclear energy.
