Public awareness of physics The future of nuclear energy Friday 14 February 2003 The Institute of Physics is concerned that the government is ambiguous in its policy on nuclear energy. In the forthcoming energy white paper, the government intends to announce that no further nuclear power stations will be built in the UK in the foreseeable future, but states that a later decision might reverse the policy. There appears to be no rational energy policy for the UK in the short- to medium-term. The Institute believes that it is essential to separate the two issues of (i) dealing with radioactive waste and (ii) the construction of new nuclear plant. The problem of managing radioactive waste is largely a legacy from the past. Even if a decision is made not to construct new nuclear plant, the problem of managing nuclear waste produced as a consequence of past and present electricity generation, as well as plant decommissioning, will still exist. New nuclear plant will generate significantly lower levels of waste, and the solutions required for the difficult challenge of legacy wastes will be in place for the new plant. The legacy waste issue should not be used as a reason for delaying the decision to build new nuclear plant. The full press release can be found on the press release page.

Nuclear Energy FFusion 2- Technology Programme Association Euratom - Tekes Fusion energy research in Finland is carried out in the fusion technology programme FFUSION 2 of Tekes (National Technology Agency of Finland). It is a continuation of the FFUSION programme in 1994-1998. The Finnish programme is integrated in the European Fusion Programme , which is one of the key actions in the fifth EU Framework Programme. Association Euratom-Tekes is one of the 20 Associations in the European programme. Europe is at the cutting edge of fusion research and has the best-performing fusion device in the world, JET (Joint European Torus), which holds the world record for fusion power generated of 16 megawatts. The research carried out in the FFUSION 2 programme is focused on fusion plasma research, reactor materials research, superconductor development and remote handling and inspection systems for reactors. Finnish industry is involved in all the FFUSION 2 technology projects. The total costs of the FFUSION 2 programme for 1999-2002 are estimated to be at level of 15 MioEuro. The detailed technical design of the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) experimental reactor was completed in 1998, and the aim in the near future is to reach a decision on building it as international co-operation. The ITER parties are studying options to lower costs by reducing some technical objectives while maintaining the overall programmatic objective of ITER.

Energy Production in the Sun by Nuclear Fusion Matter is made of atoms Here is a tour of the atomic world. We need to know the players in the game and the rules that is the particles and their interactions The middle of the Sun is a very hot gas. It is ionized: all of the electrons have been ripped away from the nuclei because it is so hot. The nuclei available are mostly H, quite a lot of He, and a few H and He. (There are a few other types, but they are not so important for us.) What is happening in the middle of the Sun is analogous to burning methane: C H + 2 O > C O + 2 H O In this reaction, the final molecules have less internal energy than the starting molecules. Since energy is conserved, the extra energy is released as energy of motion of the molecules. That is the gas gets hotter. The amount of energy involved is 5.5 eV each time the reaction above happens. As we have seen, much more energy than that must be involved in the reactions inside the Sun and other stars. The evidence is strong that the overall reaction is "burning" hydrogen to make helium: H + 2 e > He + 2 neutrinos + 6 photons In this reaction, the final particles have less internal energy than the starting particles. Since energy is conserved, the extra energy is released as energy of motion of the nuclei and electrons in the solar gas, the production of lots of low energy photons and, finally, the energy of the neutrinos, which just zip right out of the Sun. That is the gas gets hotter and has lots of photons (and neutrinos). The amount of energy involved is 26 MeV = 26 x 10

Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Nuclear Fusion Nuclear reactors in commission today produce energy by fission, that is, splitting radioactive uranium atoms and harnessing the energy that is released. An alternative design is fusion, fusing two atomic nuclei into a larger nucleus. The advantage to nuclear fusion, which was used in the hydrogen bomb, is that fewer waste products are produced, and the fuel supply is less hazardous than uranium. The disadvantage is that fusion requires so much energy to fuse the nuclei, that it has not been possible to create more energy than is consumed.

There are still very many difficulties but perhaps in a few decades we could have commercial fusion reactors in cities providing cheap pollution-free power Dr Alan Sykes Fusion is the form of nuclear energy that powers the stars. Although, it has many advantages over conventional nuclear power, it has been technically difficult to develop. The best approach appears to be to confine a superhot gas, called a plasma, in a magnetic field. Some success has been achieved this way using huge experimental fusion reactors. But now, according to United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) scientists, making smaller versions of the same equipment may be technically easier, cheaper and swifter to develop. The most recent experiments show promise, they claim.

Sources of energy Nuclear power The safety issue in nuclear installations came to a head around the Chernobyl accident, where the Ukrainian power station is of a rather particular type (for further information: site of the ). Nevertheless, a nuclear reactor is the energy production installation with the lowest environmental impact . One of the special features of nuclear power is that right from the start, this energy industry has looked seriously into the question of its waste. It must be remembered that quantity is limited and there is no leakage at the source. Management of low and average waste is well controlled at an industrial level. The future of long-lasting and highly activated waste is under study in the framework of the law passed in 1991 (Bataille law). This work is divided up into three parts : transmutation of long-lasting isotopes, burial of waste and long-term safe storage. The use of nuclear energy enables France to be among the industrial nations with the lowest emissions of CO2 per unit of energy produced : Sweden France Germany Denmark UE US Emission of CO2 per unit of energy produced in ( t.CO2/tep)

Lecture 11 NUCLEAR ENERGY Key Concepts Stars need a power source to keep shining. Main sequence stars are powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Hydrogen fusion occurs via the proton-proton chain or by the CNO cycle. (1) Stars need a power source to keep shining. Stars shine because they are hot. Since stars are hot and dense, they emit energy like a black body, with a luminosity proportional to the fourth power of their temperature. If a star had no power source to replace the energy radiated away in the form of photons, it would cool down. It would take some time to cool down, however, like an iron that's been unplugged. If the Sun, for instance, had no internal power source, it would cool to invisibility in 20 million years (2) Main sequence stars are powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Chemical reactions, such as burning, are not powerful enough to keep the Sun shining for billions of years. For instance, consider burning hydrogen: + O O + energy Burning one kilogram of hydrogen releases 140,000,000 Joules of energy. (In other units, this is equal to 39 kilowatt-hours, or 34,000 Calories enough energy to keep a 100-watt bulb lit up for over two weeks.) If the Sun were initially made entirely of hydrogen, burning that hydrogen (never mind the problem of where to get the oxygen) would only provide enough energy to power the Sun for 20,000 years. After that the Sun would go into its 20 million year long cooling-off period.
