Caesium Essays

the release of radioactive material into the North Pacific Ocean [16]. All land within 20 kilometres of the plant, a total of 600 square kilometres, has been deemed a permanent exclusion zone by the Japanese government. Large amounts of radioactive Caesium-137 have detected in a range of Japanese foodstuffs, from tea leaves, beef, milk and freshwater fish as far as 300 kilometres from the Fukushima plant

atoms and particles, the speed of the particles and atoms, the possible directions of the atoms and particles and other minor details. Uranium-235 does not have to split into Krypton-92 and Barium-141 it could split into two other elements e.g Caesium-140 and Rubidium-92. It also doesn’t need release three neutrons but this is the most common example and that is why it is shown. This wasn't shown because it was not completely important as it wasn’t needed to explain the fission process of Uranium-235

In chapter four of the novel Wormwood Forest by Mary Mycio, Mycio explains the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear reaction, and how it had changed the ecosystem drastically. Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine that was operational during the time of the Cold War. This power plant had a sudden power surge in its reactor Unit 4, which resulted in a devastating incident. This caused large amounts of radioactive materials to be released into the air, and causing a level seven nuclear

Cesium by Johnathan Szymanowski “If we were to go to the sun, and to bring some portions of it and analyze them in our laboratories, we could not examine them more accurately than we can by this new mode of spectrum analysis.” (Warren de la Rue, 1861) An element with an atomic number of 55 was named from the Latin word ‘caesius’ meaning sky blue because of the blue lines hidden in its spectrum. An unfamiliar element that has many unique characteristics goes by the name of cesium or cesium as we

As Marcus Aurelius once said, “Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away”. Time passes by swiftly and soon events, names, and struggles get lost in the depths of history. History becomes a vast pit of several conglomerated dates that soon lack importance or gain importance depending on the present time period. The history of the United States started roughly

Abstract The Chernobyl accident was probably the worst possible catastrophe that could happen in a nuclear power station. It was the only one in history of nuclear power. It resulted in a total meltdown of the reactor core, a hardcore emission of radionuclides, and early deaths of only 31 persons and thousands of people were displaced from their homes permanently. The Explosion released about 300 MCi of radioactive substances, including about 40 &100 MCi of short-lived radioiodines. The social and
