In this chapter we consider the nucleus and nuclear properties. The behavior of nuclei may have as great an effect on our everyday lives as any of the thousands of S)mthetic compounds developed over the past several decades. Examples of nuclear technology range from everyday items (smoke detectors) to sophisticated instruments for medical diagnosis and treatment and electrical power generation (nuclear power plants). 

Unlike radioisotope generators, nuclear reactors utilize the much more intense process of nuclear chain reaction. Since this process is controlled in the reactor, the energy output could be regulated depending on the system s requirements. It actually could produce twice its nominal power, if necessai"y. Nuclear reactors can pro dde greater electrical output than radioisotope generators using the same types of thermal converters. This output is comparable to that of fuel cells and solar arrays, while nuclear reactors are more durable and compact. 

In 2000, 10 countries including the U. S. evaluated more than 100 Generation IV designs and after 2 years picked six. Fourth generation nuclear plants replace the water coolants and moderators to allow higher temperatures with the potential to create hydrogen as well as electric power. Tests show that electrolysis is almost twice as efficient at the high temperatures.

Redoutable. Fr nuclear-powered ballistic-missile submarine. Launched in 1967 and due for completion in 1970, it is the first of a class of third-generation nuclear-delivery vehicles planned for the 1970 s. They are patterned on the US Polaris submarine and are intended to carry 16 underwater-launched missiles designated MSBS (Mer-Sol Balistique Strategique) Ref E.

The Experimental Breeder Reactor EBR-1 was the first power reactor and the first fast neutron reactor. It was put in service in 1951 on the site of Idaho in the United-States and it became the world s first electricity-generating nuclear power plant when it produced sufficient electricity to illuminate four 200-watt light bulbs.

Neon is the fifth most abundant gas in the Earth s atmosphere, after N2, 02, Ar, and C02 and just before He. But it is only 18 parts per million in air. And because there is precious little Ne within the Earth, it is even more rare on Earth in comparison with rock-forming elements. The interstellar gas tells a quite different story, however. Coincidentally, Ne is also the fifth most abundant element in the universe, following H, He, O, and C, and ranking just before N. It is a very abundant element, much more so than terrestrial scientists suspected. This is because the most abundant of its three isotopes is created directly by one of the most common power-generating nuclear reactions within stars.

Centrifuges are used to enrich the uranium that is used in nuclear power plants. The two main isotopes of uranium are U-235 and U-238, with U-235 being the isotope used to generate nuclear power via fission processes. Unfortunately, over 99% of naturally oc-...
