The energy loss effect in nuclear matter is another nuclear effect apart from the nuclear effects on the parton distribution as in deep inelastic scattering process. The quark energy loss can be measured best by the nuclear dependence of the high energy nuclear Drell-Yan process. By means of two typical kinds of quark energy loss parametrization and the different sets of nuclear parton distribu...

This article examines the role of the liquid drop analogy in George Gamow’s theory of nuclear structure and his subsequent derivation of nuclear energy. It argues that the correspondences constituting the analogy served distinct but cooperative ends, requiring Gamow to posit a relatively simple nuclear geometry that set him apart from his contemporaries, mostly shell theorists, and led to his s...

The history of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) demonstrate that peaceful nuclear energy is a myth. As our January 2007 Briefing, “Civil Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons Proliferation”, explains promoting ‘peaceful’ nuclear power has accelerated nuclear weapons proliferation. Nuclear reactors in India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Kore...

background: nowadays, application of nuclear technology in different industries has largely expanded worldwide. proportionately,the risk of nuclear incidents and the resulting injuries have, therefore, increased in recent years. preparedness is an important part of the crisis management cycle; therefore efficient preplanning seems crucial to any crisis  management plan. equipped with facilities...

Abstract Governments, local authorities and civil society organizations are becoming increasingly vocal regarding the domestic transboundary risks that nuclear power represents to health environment. While participatory rights gaining importance in sector, nuclear‐related activities have been at centre of inconsistencies uncertainties practice public participation under Aarhus Espoo Conventions...

Uloženie nukleárneho odpadu vysokého stupňa v Nemecku Nuclear energy is very often used to generate electricity. But first the energy must be released from atoms what can be done in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce electrical energy. The electrical energy generated in nuclear power plants does not produce polluting combustion gase...
