Atomic energy: how energy is released, byproducts of nuclear fission - physics animated film (1953)

Atomic Energy: How Energy Is Released, Byproducts of Nuclear Fission - Physics Animated Film (1953)
thefilmarchive.org A Is for Atom is a 14-minute 1953 promotional animated short documentary film created by John Sutherland and sponsored by General Electric (GE). It is now in the public domain. The short explains what an atom is, how nuclear energy is released from certain kinds of atoms, the peacetime uses of nuclear power, and the by-products of nuclear fission. A narrator begins the piece by relating what an atom is and how atomic energy can be harnessed by man to produce "limitless" energy. Dr. Atom (a caricature with an atom for a head) then explains the similarities between the solar system and atomic structure. He then goes on to relate how the atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. After this, the narrator explains how there are more than 90 elements with many possible isotopes for each. The history of atomic energy is then overviewed beginning with the discovery of artificial transmutation. This then led to the discovery of nuclear fission and eventually nuclear weapons and nuclear energy using the chain reaction of radioactive material. The Oakridge uranium factory is then discussed as well as the first nuclear reactor and the first uses of plutonium. The future of fantastical nuclear power plants is then explained. The short ends on the uses of radio isotopes in medicine and agriculture. The film includes a blue "nuclear giant" character, very similar to Dr. Manhattan from the graphic novel Watchmen. Nuclear potential energy is the potential ...

Fission and fusion

Fission And Fusion
www.facebook.com ... Physics (Chapter 1): Fission And Fusion. --- Please SUBSCRIBE to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com --- Consider the earth and a rocket ship which are bound together by gravity. If it takes work or energy to pull them apart, then the binding energy is the amount of energy it takes to completely separate them. Similarly the binding energy in a nucleus is the amount of energy it takes to completely separate the protons and neutrons, (collectively called nucleons.) There are two forces acting inside the nucleus of atoms. The nuclear force -- a residuum of the strong force that holds quarks together -- is pulling the neutrons and protons together -- and the electric charge on the protons is pushing them apart. The strong force is a lot stronger than the electric force at short ranges up to two and a half times the proton diameter, but at larger distances the electric force dominates. This increase in binding energy continues until we get to iron and nickel where the nucleus has about 60 nucleons in it. At this point, the nucleus has a radius more than two and a half nucleons wide, which you remember is the range at which the repulsive ElectroMagnetic Force begins to dominate.. . So as we add nucleons past this point the electric force trying to tear the nucleus apart starts winning and each added nucleon is a little less-tightly bound. --- The Cassiopeia Project is an effort to make high quality science videos ...

Fission surface power system_hd720p

Fission Surface Power System_HD720p
NASA astronauts will need power sources when they return to the moon and establish a lunar outpost. NASA engineers are exploring the possibility of nuclear fission to provide the necessary power and taking initial steps toward a non-nuclear technology demonstration of this type of system. A fission surface power system on the moon has the potential to generate a steady 40 kilowatts of electric power, enough for about eight houses on Earth. It works by splitting uranium atoms in a reactor to generate heat that then is converted into electric power. The fission surface power system can produce large amounts of power in harsh environments, like those on the surface of the moon or Mars, because it does not rely on sunlight. The primary components of fission surface power systems are a heat source, power conversion, heat rejection and power conditioning, and distribution. A nuclear reactor used in space is much different than Earth-based systems. There are no large concrete cooling towers, and the reactor is about the size of an office trash can. The energy produced from a space reactor also is much smaller but more than adequate for the projected power needs of a lunar outpost. Testing of the non-nuclear system is expected to take place by 2013. These tests will help verify system performance projections, develop safe and reliable control methods, gain valuable operating experience, and reduce technology and programmatic risks. This technology demonstration is being conducted ...

A is for Atom (1952) - Educational Animated Film - Part 1/2
Officially released in 1953, A is for Atom is short animated promotional film dedicated to the explanation of the atom, fission, artificial transmutation, and potential uses of atomic energy. I often see this short film derided for its lack of concentration on the negative consequences of atomic energy production. One does have to bear in mind that this film is very basic and presents a rudimentary education on a topic that was not widely understood, even from a scientific standpoint, at the time. Oddly, even today a great many people lack an elementary understanding of the atom, fission, isotopes, atomic weight, etc. Therefore I still believe this particular film is of some benefit as it does contain accurate, scientific information. However, this film also shows it age a bit as the "binding force" mentioned in the film has since been positively quantified as "strong interaction" and "residual strong force". These concepts can further be explored by a quick trip to your local wikipedia. In any event, the animation is classic and as a representation of the period I believe it still remains of great value.

Atomic alert: cold war civil defense procedure film - elementary school version (1951)

Atomic Alert: Cold War Civil Defense Procedure Film - Elementary School Version (1951)
DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10000000 tons of TNT. A modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2400 pounds (1100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million metric tons) of TNT. Thus, even a small nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut. Only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On 6 August 1945, a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on 9 August, a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200000 Japanese people—mostly civilians—from acute injuries sustained ...

Bbc interviews richard handl: man arrested for splitting atoms in his kitchen - aug. 2011

BBC Interviews Richard Handl: Man Arrested for Splitting Atoms in His Kitchen - Aug. 2011
"A Swedish man who tried to set up a nuclear reactor in his kitchen at home has admitted his plan was "crazy". Richard Handl said he had just been "curious" and wanted to see if he would be able to split an atom. Police were called to his flat in Angelholm in southern Sweden after he got in touch with Sweden's radiation authority to check if what he was doing was legal. Mr Handl said he would stick to reading books about physics from now on. Mr Handl, who is 31 and unemployed, told the BBC World Service he had bought the radioactive materials on the internet and from Germany. He had been working on the experiment for around six months and posted regular updates on his blog. He was questioned by police, who confiscated his nuclear materials as well as his computer. "I had it under control, it was not so dangerous," he told the BBC. But he added: "It was pretty stupid." It is unclear what will happen next in the police inquiry. Mr Handl said he expected a fine." www.bbc.co.uk his blog: richardsreactor.blogspot.com

The nature and history of nuclear power b

The Nature and History of Nuclear Power B
Harnessing Nuclear Power for Electricity Fission is the first step. On average, there are 2.5 neutrons produced per fission event. In principle, this allows for a self-sustaining reaction in which these neutrons can trigger further fission events. When every one of these reactions results in a single additional fission reaction, the state of the system is said to be critical. This is the condition that applies in a stable, functioning, power-generating nuclear reactor. If the number of fission events increases with time, the system is said to be supercritical, and that's a situation that occurs when dealing with a nuclear weapon. The average energy of the neutrons that are produced by fission of uranium- 235 is very high. If those neutrons encounter the most abundant uranium isotope (238), they will produce plutonium-239, a very good bomb material. To prevent this from happening, the fast neutrons have to be slowed down. And if they can be slowed enough they are more likely to hit the uranium-235 and keep the self-sustaining reaction going. A nuclear power plant contains a number of key elements. One is the rods with which the fissile material is inserted, and then there is a moderator, which is designed to slow the neutrons down so that they react with uranium-235 rather than uranium-238. The transition of nuclear power from military use to civilian use was relatively slow after World War II. The research that was occurring in the United States and elsewhere was ...

Fukushima Alert: Fission Restarted in unit 2 Japan Nuclear Update 11/1 /11
Mirrored from YTer www.youtube.com Xenon detected in No.2 reactor www3.nhk.or.jp The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has poured water containing boric acid into the No. 2 reactor. The move followed the detection of a radioactive substance, xenon, in the reactor's containment vessel, indicating that nuclear fission may have resumed. Tokyo Electric Power Company poured boric acid solution into the No. 2 reactor for one hour from shortly before 3 AM on Wednesday. Last Friday, TEPCO began operating equipment to remove radioactive substances from the No. 2 reactor. The device sucks out gas from the containment vessel and filters out radioactive materials. The company has been analyzing the types of radioactive substances and their density near the outlet of the device. On Tuesday, TEPCO detected xenon-133 and xenon-135, substances that are produced during the nuclear fission of uranium-235. The company says the possibility of nuclear fission inside the reactor cannot be excluded. TEPCO says even if nuclear fission has resumed, it should be on a small scale as there have been no major changes in the temperature or pressure of the reactor, or radiation levels at monitoring posts around the compound. The government's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says it is unlikely that nuclear fuel has begun melting again as the density of the xenon is low and there has been no change in the reactor temperatures. The agency says it will continue to monitor the xenon in ...

Nuclear energy: today's misunderstood power source

Nuclear Energy: Today's Misunderstood Power Source
Entry for the TSA National SciViz Competition Event 2011 By Alise Isaksen, Mitchell Williams, Maria Garcia, Albert Chung, Omar Ahmed, and Derreck Artega NOTE: In addition to the "dioxide atom" error in the script, the animation at 0:30 shows a uranium-235 nucleus splitting with apparent spontaneity. However, this fission occurs when the nucleus is bombarded with an additional neutron to create the unstable uranium-236 nucleus. As soon as the nucleus captures the neutron, it splits into two lighter atoms and throws off two or three new neutrons (the number of ejected neutrons depends on how the U-235 atom splits). The process of capturing the neutron and splitting happens very quickly. U-235 decays naturally by alpha radiation: It throws off an alpha particle, or two neutrons and two protons bound together. It's also one of the few elements that can undergo induced fission. Fire a free neutron into a U-235 nucleus and the nucleus will absorb the neutron, become unstable and split immediately. The decay of a single U-235 atom releases approximately 200 MeV (million electron volts). That may not seem like much, but there are lots of uranium atoms in a pound (0.45 kilograms) of uranium. So many, in fact, that a pound of highly enriched uranium as used to power a nuclear submarine is equal to about a million gallons of gasoline. The splitting of an atom releases an incredible amount of heat and gamma radiation, or radiation made of high-energy photons. The two atoms that ...

Heavy ion particle experiment

Heavy Ion particle experiment
Lead (atomic number 83) is a stable element. However, if a particle is artificially bombarded at random with other heavy nuclei at high velocities(2keV+) the coulomb force is easily overcome due to both size and inertia. This is equivalent to a rock sitting atop a tall cliff, if left alone the rock will never fall(release energy), but if the rock is pushed towards the edge by instability, the chances of the rock falling off are greater and greater and it will inevitably fall. Incessant bombardment of lead nuclei with other nuclei will temporarily create atoms that are frequently unstable and subsequently fission. This, as I am calling it, is artificial subcritical fission. The output power of the light alone was apparently more than the output of the HV source itself(~5 watts), so I am going to assume that this experiment was successful.

The first nuclear related fatality & accident in america - emergency response - documentary video

The First Nuclear Related Fatality & Accident In America - Emergency Response - Documentary Video
US Atomic Energy Commission Idaho Operations Office SL-1 The Accident: Phases I and II A13886VNB1 Describes this nuclear accident from the point of view of the Atomic Energy Commission. Considering the time, this film report is exceptionally candid about the vulnerabilities of nuclear reactors. This first civilian reactor accident was especially gruesome in that one of the reactor operators was shot into the ceiling by an expelled reactor vessel plug and control rod. Views of the internal wreckage are fascinating. The cause of this accident has never been determined, although operator error has been alleged. Documentaries of this quality are rare in the US nuclear community, at least for the general public. Producer: US Atomic Energy Commission; Creative Commons license: Public Domain The SL-1, or Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, was a United States Army experimental nuclear power reactor which underwent a steam explosion and meltdown in January 1961, killing its three operators. The direct cause was the improper withdrawal of the only movable control rod. The event is the only fatal reactor accident in the United States. The facility, located at the National Reactor Testing Station approximately forty miles (60 km) west of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was part of the Army Nuclear Power Program and was known as the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR) during its design and build phase. It was intended to provide electrical power and heat for small, remote military facilities ...

Atomic blasts, operations greenhouse through upshot-knothole

Atomic Blasts, Operations Greenhouse through Upshot-Knothole
0800042 - Atomic Blasts- Operations Greenhouse Through Upshot-Knothole - 1951-1953 - 29:22 - Color - Silent - This video shows a compilation of early atomic blasts taken from individual short films of the tests. These formerly classified films have never before been seen by the public. The video shows close up footage of boiling, tumbling, rolling fireballs of great destructive force as the nuclear power from the splitting of nuclei of atoms is unleashed. The blinding fury released by these early atomic devices demonstrates the show of power that was used by the United States to end World War II and establish a power base for the Cold War to follow. The term "atomic" designated them as fission devices, as opposed to the later much more powerful thermonuclear devices, which used a fission test to start a fusion process. Eventually, the word "atomic" was replaced by the term "nuclear." By the time Operation Greenhouse was conducted, the Atomic Energy Commission began testing devices of higher yields than those detonated in the TRINITY test or in Operations Crossroads, Sandstone or Ranger. Laboratory scientists were using the data gained from the early operations to build more sophisticated devices that delivered more power. The three "atomic" tests in four-test Greenhouse Operation (DOG, EASY, and ITEM) had respective yields of 81, 47 and 45.5 kilotons (kt) compared with the 21 kt yield of the earlier devices of the Fat Man (ie, TRINITY) design. These tests, fired from 300 ...

Commercial fast neutron breeder reactor for cheap electricity, water, and food

Commercial Fast Neutron Breeder Reactor for Cheap Electricity, Water, and Food
A Nuclear Fast Breeder reactor produces more fissionable Plutonium 239 than it consumes. This happens by absorbing 1-2 neutrons per fissioned fuel atom with Uranium 238 which becomes U 239. U 239 is extremely unstable and decays into Neptunium 239 and then even again into Pu 239. The net result is an increase in fissionable materials to be used as fuels. By jacketing a U 235 or Pu 239 core with U 238 and letting the reactor produce a very large amount of clean carbon-free energy, after a few years you can separate out the Pu 239 chemically (which is much cheaper than using U 235 which is the practice today) and use it in the next fuel cycle and in other reactors. This would close the fuel cycle making Nuclear power sustainable and renewable. Instead of wasting the waste heat from the reaction and just boiling water out into the atmosphere, once could use saltwater as a heat sink and capture the steam. One then could let the steam condense naturally and fall into a reservoir producing fresh clean desalinized water at no extra cost.

Physics nuclear fission e=mc²

Physics Nuclear fission E=mc²
Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons and lighter nuclei, which may eventually produce photons (in the form of gamma rays). Fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction which can release large...
