what is the difference in end use of u235 and u238 in nuclear industry?

well obviously you know that one isotope is weapons grade and one is not.  the iranians want the isotope that can be dismantled into nuclear weapons because thats what they plan on doing with it...  the United Nations offered to give them the alternative nulcear energy isotope plant but they refuse... they want the weapons grade, wonder why?

94,240Pu ---> 40,93Zr + 54,144Xe + _3_ 0,1n\n\nThe first number is the proton number, the second is the nucleon number. Both of these must be conserved in fission. As the number of protons is already conserved, the difference in the nucleon number must come from free neutrons.

Maybe the one on this page will suffice,\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/nuclear-power3.htm\nAnd its animated, thats a bonus, but it isnt really a flow chart.

ITS [E=MC^2] - THE CONSERVATION OF MATTER AS ENERGY.. IT MEANS IF WE PUSH AN OBJECTS WITH A SPEED OF SQUARE OF SPEED OF LIGHT THEN THE ENERGY PRODUCED IN THE COVERAGE OF THE DISTANCE WITHOUT RETARDING OF 1 GM OF ANY MATTER OF DENSITY ABOVE 5GM/CM^3 WILL BE EQUAL TO THE ENERGY PRODUCED BY 10000KG OF U235 USED IN NUCLEAR REACTOR...

actually....no.... \nthe power range of nuclear fission and the operational MHZ of a generator and completely differant. Your comapring apples and oranges.

One does not mine for depleted uranium. That is man made and is disposed of in guarded facilities. However, if you insist, you had best know it's qualities and make sure you are well protected with radiation gear.\n\n"Depleted uranium results from the enriching of natural uranium for use in nuclear reactors. Natural uranium is a slightly radioactive metal that is present in most rocks and soils as well as in many rivers and sea water. Natural uranium consists primarily of a mixture of two isotopes (forms) of uranium, Uranium-235 (U235) and Uranium-238 (U238), in the proportion of about 0.7 and 99.3 percent, respectively. Nuclear reactors require U235 to produce energy, therefore, the natural uranium has to be enriched to obtain the isotope U235 by removing a large part of the U238. Uranium-238 becomes DU, which is 0.7 times as radioactive as natural uranium. Since DU has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, there is very little decay of those DU materials."

All materials shipped anywhere in the world will have a set of documentation appended. EIther it will be internal to a country, in which case the document could list what the substance is called locally, or it could be traveling internationally, in which case it must have a United Nations Identification Number.\n\n316 SS UN refers to the material known internationally as "stainless steel, grade 316".

Cf: atomic bombs and nuclear power plants. They use the conversion of a tiny amount of mass to lots and lots of energy.

A nuclear reactor contains uranium and a moderator, such as water or carbon (as graphite).  If struck by a neutron, U-235 is likely to fission, yielding fragments and two or three neutrons, which can, if you do things right, cause more fissions -- it's called a chain reaction.  Unfortunately, most uranium is U-238, which does not like to fission nearly as much as U-235 does -- but it does eat neutrons, becoming U-239 which decays to Np-239 and Pu-239.  The appetite of U-238 for neutrons is considerably reduced if the neutrons are slowed down before they have a chance to interact with it, and that is what a moderator does: it slows them down so that instead of traveling near the speed of light, they are traveling at about the speed of sound.  When the slow neutrons encounter a uranium fuel rod, they are more likely to be captured by U-235 to produce fission than by U-238, so the chain reaction can continue.  It is important that not all neutrons created by a fission are released immediately -- some are delayed, and that permits the reactor to be controlled by inserting rods of a neutron-absorptive material to keep the reaction from getting out of hand. \n In an atomic bomb, U-235 (or Pu-239) in nearly pure form is quickly assembled into a mass of such size that more neutrons cause fission than escape through the sides of the material, and so that delayed neutron release is overwhelmed by quick release, so a kilogram or more of uranium can fission before the device blows itself to pieces.

The Arak facility might produced enough plutonium for as many as three bombs every year. Their projected date for this type of operation is at least 2yrs off.  The two Bushehr reactors appear to be geared toward electicity output\n\nPlutonium containing high quantities of fissile material i.e. Pu-239 in the order of 90-95 %, is known as weapon-grade plutonium. Plutonium containing lower concentrations, in the range of 50-60 % is known as reactor-grade plutonium.

Atomic and hydrogen bombs explode while nuclear power plants can not.  Nuclear power plants use nuclear fuel that can not explode.  It can melt if not properly cooled.  The plant may use high temperature water and steam that can explode if there is a major rupture just as in a conventional power plant.  Very careful design and operation has avoided all but a few major incidents like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and the lessons learned have been heeded.  Your novel should not spread misinformation to be accepted by critics.  Good luck.

There wont be much of a difference between 384 and 320. I think the display will say 320, but your computer is actually using all of 384. You dont need to worry about it.

Nuclear waste or any radiological material deteriorates in its radioactive properties at a set rate determined by spin of rates of the neutrons that orbit the nucelus of the specific molecule in question. This rate is know as a half life or the time it takes for half the neutrons to spin off. This can only be accelarated by forecfully adding electrons to the molecules of the material, which is another radiological procedure that requires large amounts of electricity.  A very expensive process.  Chemicals have virtualy no effect toward accelarating half rates.

Neuclear Fission and Fusion:\n\nSIMILARITIES:\n\n1.Both work on the basis of electromagnetic radiation.\n2.In both, a slow moving nuetron is used to emit radiation.\n3The source partiles are the same(U235, U238, PLUTANIUM, ETC)\n\n\n\nDifferences between fission and fusion\n\n\n\n\nThe main difference that there is between fission and fusion is that fission is the splitting of an atom to form two smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two smaller atoms to form a larger atom. In each of these the binding energy of the final product or products is higher than that of the prerequisites. This is explained more fully in the next section (Binding Energy).\n\n\n\n\nFission itself is a nuclear process which does not usually occur naturally in nature (at least not that we know of) as it requires a large mass and an incident neutron to start the reaction. However this would not last for a long time as the reaction would explode and produce a result such as in an atomic bomb. This volatile nature is what prevents fission from occurring for any length of time naturally.\n\n\n\n\nFusion on the other hand is a process which occurs quite naturally. In fact, if fusion did not occur naturally we would not be around today. This is due to stars being the result of the fusion process, the fusion of mainly light atoms into heavier atoms. Fusion also releases a lot more energy in comparison to fission in relation to the mass input. Put simply you will get more energy released from the fusion of 1kg of hydrogen ions than you will from fission of 1kg of Uranium.

Unless you are letting it be run by a bunch of drunk ruskies, who think it is a good idea to pull out all the control rods and see how hot they can make the reactor... \n\nOther wise (truth be told) the ammount of radiation that is emited by a nuclear power plant is about the same as the ammount emited by a oil or coal power plant.
