Double Jeopardy
The most commonly used fuel for nuclear fission.
Uranium-235
The refining process of uranium ore.
Enrichment
Location of the fission reaction in a nuclear power plant.
Reactor Core
Circuit providing cool water to the condenser
Tertiary Water Circuit
Uranium-238 is converted to this element in breeder nuclear fission.
Plutonium-239
The sum of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
Atomic Number
The three particles that make up an atom.
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Isotopes of an element differ in their number of?
Neutrons
The radioactive isotope(s) of hydrogen.
Tritium
Three existing isotopes of uranium.
Uranium-238, Uranium-235, Uranium-234
The two classifications of radioactive wastes.
Low level and high level
Nuclear waste storage area currently under construction in Nevada
Yucca Mountain
Law holding each state responsible for its own nuclear waste.
Low Level Radioactive Policy Act
Geographical feature believed to be lead to the safest nuclear waste storage.
Stable rock formations or geographical stability.
Solidification of nuclear waste into solid glass or ceramic logs.
Vitrification
Fuel generating the majority of our nations electricity.
Coal
Percent of our nation’s electricity generated by nuclear energy.
20%
Primary reason that no nuclear power plants have been ordered for construction since 1976.
Overwhelming costs
This fuel will not be replaced by nuclear energy because only 3% of our nations electricity is generated from it.
Oil
This country has enough enriched plutonium and uranium to make over 40,000 nuclear bombs.
Russia, or the former Soviet Union
Scientist who hypothesized how mass and energy are related on his equation E = mc2
Albert Einstein
The first country to sucessfully detonate a nuclear weapon.
The United States of America
The worst accident ever to occur at a nuclear power plant occurred here.
Chernobyl
The most serious nuclear reactor accident in the U.S. occurred here.
Three Mile Island
Total death toll of the Chernobyl incident.
