Chernobyl Disaster
The Events The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, it was caused when one of the units were conducting a experiment and it went poorly leading to several explosion’s triggering a large fireball which blew off the heavy steel and concrete lid of the reactor. This released large amounts of Read More…
Nuclear Fusion
Basically what I researched and found out is that a Nuclear-Fusion is when the sun derives its energy from a nuclear fusion process that occurs in its core. The progress is primarily composed of the so call “Proton-Proton” chain reaction, which results in the transformation of hydrogen into helium. This process involves several steps which Read More…
The importance of radiation
It’s important to be educated on radiation because we are exposed to radiation everyday. For example in the car or in a restaurant and when your by the window the suns UV goes through the glass making the skin exposed to it. In addition the sources of radiation is cosmic radiation, terrestrial radiation, inhalation, and Read More…
What is Radon and how does it get into houses? How can you protect your home from Randon?
What is Radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that starts out as uranium, which is a heavy metal found in the ground as well as most rocks on the planet. Once uranium decays, it turns into a different metal, called radium and once that breaks down, it finally becomes Radon. Radon gas leaves the soil Read More…
Radioactive imaging and applications of radioactive imagingΒ u
Have you heard of radioactive images, the first thing you probably think of is a X-ray I know I do. Radioactive images happen when the radiotracer is either injected into a vein, swallowed or inhaled as a gas and eventually accumulates in the organ or area of your body being examined by machines like an Read More…
What nuclear waste is? One option of dealing with nuclear waste?
Written by Kalani Telus Picture from Thebulletin.org Nuclear waste might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s a real issue that affects our world today. Simply put, nuclear waste is the byproduct of nuclear reactions. When we use nuclear power to generate electricity or build nuclear weapons, we also create leftover materials Read More…
The Inventions of Hydrogen Bombs
By: Dana Palmer In 1950 President Harry Truman made a decision to continue the research and production of thermonuclear weapons. The hydrogen bomb, also known as the H-bomb or thermonuclear weapon, is based on the principle of nuclear fusion, meaning the action of joining atomic nuclei to create a heavier nucleus and releasing a huge Read More…
The Therapy that Cures Cancer
By, Avinash Ramkissoon What is Radiation Therapy, and How Does it Work? Ok, so boom, cancer isn’t permanently curable in most cases, but you know, there are some ways to help overcome it temporarily or even in totality. Due to extensive research, we have discovered that chemotherapy is a type of radiation therapy that targets Read More…

Nuclear power is used in a lot of machinery but what exactly is nuclear power and what is its history? Nuclear power is a low-energy source, nuclear power plants produce practically no CO2. Invented on December 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi led a group of scientists trying to make the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. The Read More…
Exploring the principles and Application of Radiocarbon Dating in Scientific research
Introduction: Welcome to my class blog project, where we will explore the principles behind radiocarbon dating. I would be explaining the principles and application of Radiocarbon Dating. I will tell you the most important research of Radiocarbon dating. Blog post 1:Decoding Radiocarbon dating Radiocarbon is a scientific method that can determine the age of organic Read More…
Nuclear Radiation by Bryce, Davidson
Radiation safety is very important to our people and our planet and is very important for us to know how to measure it. Finding out how many radioactive atoms decay per second allows us to calculate the level of radioactivity. Alpha, beta, and/or gamma rays might be emitted by these atoms.Either the international unit, Becquerel, Read More…
