Nuclear reactions liberate a large amount of energy compared to chemical reactions. One fission event results in the release of about 200 MeV of energy, or about 3.2 ´ 10-11 watt-seconds. Thus, 3.1 ´ 1010 fissions per second produce 1 W of thermal power. The fission of 1 gram of uranium or plutonium per day liberates about 1 MW. This is the energy equivalent of 3 tons of coal or about 600 gallons of fuel oil per day, which when burned produces approximately 1/4 tonne of carbon dioxide. (A tonne, or metric ton, is 1000 kg.)

The original unit for measuring the amount of radioactivity was the curie (Ci)–first defined to correspond to one gram of radium-226 and more recently defined as:

1 curie = 3.7x1010 radioactive decays per second [exactly)

 

The radioactive nuclei, or radionuclides, found naturally on Earth can be grouped into three series–headed by uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232–plus several isolated beta-particle emitting nuclei, most prominently potassium-40 and rubidium-87. Average abundances of these nuclides a France generates 76% of its electricity from nuclear power plants;Belgium–56%, South Korea–36%, Switzerland–40%, Sweden–47%, Finland–30%, Japan–33%, and the United Kingdom–25%. Bulgaria generates 46% of its electricity from nuclear power, Hungary–42%, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia combined–20%. Although the United States is not a leader in percentage, it has the largest total electric output from nuclear power: 98,000 MWe from 105 plants, generating around 20% of US electric power. In a fast-breeder reactor, water cannot be used as a coolant because it would moderate the neutrons. The smaller fission cross sections associated with the fast neutrons (as compared with thermal neutrons) leads to higher fuel concentrations in the core and higher power densities, which, in turn, create significant heat transfer problems. Liquid sodium metal may be used here as a coolant and heat-transfer fluid.

The chief sources of radiation exposure in the United States, as tabulated by the NCRP, are indicated in Table 15-2. The largest single source of exposure is from radon, which is produced in the decay of radium-226 in the soil and enters a house through openings at the Home basements,,,The average effective dose of 2.0 mSv/yr (200 mrem/yr) corresponds to the average radon concentration, but there are more than one million homes with radon levels that are more than five times as great. Appendix D has more information on the average annual radiation exposure and its sources that are received by the U.S. population.

With four independent detection elements, the badge can measure dose from beta, gamma, x-ray, or neutron radiation over a wide range of energies. The badge may be used for monitoring personnel in medical, industrial, and other nuclear applications.

The "action level" recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency for radon in the air is 4 picocuries/liter of air. It is difficult to convert air concentrations to actual exposures in rems or sieverts, but estimates are in the range of 4 to 14 rem per year at that concentration. That makes it greater that all the other routine environmental exposures combined.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas, a radioactive by product of radium. It is part of the natural radioactive decay series starting with uranium-238. It is radioactive with a half-life of 3.8 days, decaying by the emission of alpha particles to polonium, bismuth, and lead in successive steps.  In addition, Radium-226, a significantly more radioactive element than uranium, is also freed in this process. in texas

Natural Nuclear Reactor at Oklo, Gabon, West Africa
When the neutron population of the core remains constant the reactor is said to be critical. A growing neutron population is characteristic of a supercritical reactor while a shrinking neutron population makes a reactor subcritical. Therefore, all reactors, when operating at constant power, are critical

  • Alpha Particles: Helium nuclei, generally emitted from heavy elements such as uranium and thorium. Alpha particles only travel a few inches in the air, and can be stopped by a piece of paper. Special geiger tubes with a mica window are necessary to detect them, as other windows will stop alpha particles.
  • Beta Rays: Electrons moving at extremely high (often relativistic) speeds. They are more penatrating than alpha particles. They can pass through light elements, such as paper and aluminum (but only small thicknesses).
  • Gamma Rays: Electromagnetic waves, similar to light, but at a much higher energy. Much more penetrating than alpha or beta radiations. High energy gamma rays can pass through several inches of metal. Note that X-Rays and Gamma Rays are really the same thing, the term X-Ray is used when the radiation is produced by electrons striking a material, such as in an X-Ray tube.

Radium in Water The maximum allowable concentration for radium as designated by the Illinois Pollution Control Board is 5 pico curies per liter of water. Quarterly samples taken over the past year indicate the lowest level to be 0.80 pico curies per liter and the highest to be 14.30 pico curies per liter.  A portion of the radium which is ingested remains in the bone.  The radiation which is given off from the radium, because of its high energy, causes damage to the surrounding tissue.  A dose of 5pCi/1 may result in the development of bone cancer in a very small portion of the population.
Regulatory limits USEPA is in the process of regulating the radon in water for municipal water supplies and a regulatory limit is not yet finalized, but likely to be in the range of 300 to 3000 pCi/L. The limits may be closer to 3000 pCi/L with some restrictions.

Type II Superconductors

Superconductors made from alloys are called Type II superconductors. Besides being mechanically harder than Type I superconductors, they exhibit much higher critical magnetic fields. Type II superconductors such as niobium-titanium (NbTi) are used in the construction of high field superconducting magnets.

Type-II superconductors usually exist in a mixed state of normal and superconducting regions. This is sometimes called a vortex state, because vortices of superconducting currents surround filaments or cores of normal material.

Superconducting Magnets

Type II superconductors such as niobium-tin and niobium-titanium are used to make the coil windings for superconducting magnets. These two materials can be fabricated into wires and can withstand high magnetic fields. Typical construction of the coils is to embed a large number of fine filaments ( 20 micrometers diameter) in a copper matrix. The solid copper gives mechanical stability and provides a path for the large currents in case the superconducting state is lost. These superconducting magnets must be cooled with liquid helium.

Most high energy accelerators now use superconducting magnets. The proton accelerator at Fermilab uses 774 superconducting magnets in a ring of circumference 6.2 kilometers. They have also found wide application in the construction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus for medical imaging.

Niobium-Titanium Superconductor

Niobium-titanium is a Type-II superconductor with a critical temperature of 10 K and a critical magnetic field of 15 Tesla. While both of these values are lower than those for niobium-tin, this material has become the material of choice for superconducting magnets because of its mechanical properties.
To make magnet wire, the niobium-titanium is formed into filaments finer than human hair and embedded in a matrix of solid copper. The fine filaments are advantageous because current flows only within a skin-depth of the surface of a superconductor. The solid copper forms a solid mechanical structure which will also carry the current if the superconducting phase is lost.  Further detail    Superconductivity concepts
Reference Ohanian

Lanthanum-Barium-Copper-Oxide

As the first of a new class of high-temperature superconductors, this superconductor has generated an enormous amount of research (18,000 publications in 4 years). The understanding which has emerged is that copper-oxide layers provide the path for current. These copper-oxide layers are separated by layers of other atoms which serve as spacers and charge reservoirs.

 

 

Magnesium Diboride

In March 2001, Jun Akimitsu and colleagues at Aoyama-Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan reported a superconducting transition temperature of 39 Kelvin for magnesium diboride. This has generated a great deal of excitement not only because this is the highest transition temperature yet observed for a type-II superconductor, but also because the materials used are quite common.

Bosons

Bosons are particles which have integer spin and which therefore are not constrained by the Pauli exclusion principle like the half-integer spin fermions. The energy distribution of bosons is described by Bose-Einstein statistics.

Argonne Bubble Chamber

As an example of the energy savings attainable with superconducting magnets, a bubble chamber at Argonne National Laboratory has a 4.8 meter diameter magnet producing a magnetic field of 1.8 Tesla. After establishing the magnetic field, only about 190 kW is required to maintain the liquid helium refrigeration.
This magnet coil is made from niobium-titanium alloy embedded in copper. The cost of construction of this coil was about the same as for a conventional magnet, but it has a 10:1 operating cost advantage.
