There is an Italian proverb that states, “Since the house is on fire, let us warm ourselves.” People might chuckle when they hear that the first time, but what it actually means is try to make the best of the worst situation. This is very important for people to remember in society today, especially since many people go through rough times and just mourn over their situation instead of staying positive. Also some people don’t recognize how grateful they should be for the things they have. This proverb

This was my third time watching The Avengers, however I feel like I was watching it my first time as I was depicting out all the chemistry aspects of the movie. I found so many new things that I hadn't seen before, and I found out that chemistry isn't like most math classes. It isn't something you just learn for a test and never use again. Even if you don't know it, you are using chemistry in your everyday life, such as breathing. Immediately in the beginning there were numerous physical changes

Oh, Sweet Uranium One of the greatest source of energy that planet Earth has to offer is uranium and the United States should use it in nuclear power plants once we have it in our possession. Uranium is a resource that is located beneath the planet’s surface and once it is extracted by mining it could be used into energy. Along the same lines there are many positive and negative outcomes on using this element. Uranium should be used in the nuclear power plant since these instillations are environment

Individually, they're no larger than your pinkie, but the energy-packed pellets that are the radioactive remains of nuclear power generation pose an enormous problem for nuclear energy plants that weren't originally designed to store them. So far the 103 operating nuclear reactors in the United States have generated an estimated 45,000 tons of waste that is expected to remain radioactive for more than 200,000 years (Onion, 2016). And right now, the waste, which emits radioactive particles that can

“This great nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” (Roosevelt). This is a quote given from Franklin Roosevelt's first inaugural address. An inaugural address is given by the president of the United States after the executive oath of office has been administered. President Franklin Roosevelt’s, John Kennedy’s, and Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural addresses were the most

On Friday March 11th 2011 at 2:46 pm, Japan’s Eastern coast was hit with an earthquake of a 9.0 magnitude. Following the quake, an 18 foot tsunami was triggered causing the pre existing damage to be even more sever. The tsunami caused the AC power to disable in 3 of the plants, which kept the cooling system from working. As a result, hydrogen in the exploded in the fuel rods which stated the release of the large amounts of radioactive material into the surrounding area.The quake and tsunami alone

Chernobyl was one of the largest and most powerful nuclear reactors in the former Soviet Union. It was used to power the part of the U.S.S.R now known as Ukraine. Also it was thought of as one of the safest nuclear reactors in the world. But on April 26, 1986 something went terribly wrong and it is now thought of as the worst nuclear disaster in history. It killed over 100,000 people with its radiation and is still expected to contribute to the deaths of over 300,000 people. This disaster was caused

The main focus of this chapter is hydroelectric power provided by the Columbia River, and the subsequent switch to nuclear power. The development of hydroelectric power requires the building of many dams, which at the time was commissioned by the BPA also known as the Bonneville Power Administration. The importance of the building of such dams goes far beyond the power they produced. An important attitude White is trying to give off is that by centralizing power under an administration, the importance

Those Responsible for Chernobyl/Who was Affected Summer A. Knight Can you imagine finding that a local power plant near you exploded and now there is radiation in the air you breath? That’s what the people at Chernobyl went through. People think Chernobyl exploded for many different reasons. The explosion caused many illnesses and affected many children. There were many things wrong with Chernobyl and its reactors. Many people still died even after they were evacuated from their homes, some people

April 26, 1986: A nuclear power plant explodes in Chernobyl, Ukraine, which resulted in the releasement of large amounts of radioactive particles into the open air. Because of this catastrophic event, civilians and workers in the vicinity of the radiation were exposed to such particles. In subsequent events of the explosion, many measures were and are being taken to prevent (or at least curtail) the spread of the nuclear radiation. Almost immediately after the disaster, emergency workers poured sand
