has led to renewed interest in nuclear energy. To simplify a nuclear energy facility or a nuclear reactor is very much like any other power plant except that it produces heat through a process called nuclear fission. The heat produced from the nuclear fission is done through a radioactive element called uranium. The heat created is turned into steam which then powers a turbine‚ to generate electricity. This process is purported to be carbon emission free compared to traditional non-renewable energy

TITLE.; THE NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT SELLAFIELD Introduction Requirement specifications for a new nuclear plant provide the basis for selecting the appropriate reactor and other machinery for the successful implementation of the project. There are a total of 14 nuclear power stations in operation in the UK and there are 6 which have gone under decommissioning in the past 15 years. Nuclear power plants supply at present 20% of UK’s total energy requirements. A further

Australia should use Nuclear Power or not. The problem we are facing is that global warming is increasing‚ which is very dangerous for our behalf. We are the main cause of global warming‚ as the ozone layer is deteriorating‚ but I feel that there are other ways to help it rather than using Nuclear Energy. Let’s face it‚ global warming is always going to be an issue‚ whether we have Nuclear Energy or not. There is always going to be pollution whether it be from cars‚ power plants‚ factories etc..

Uses of radioisotopes Nuclear Power Note: nuclear power works by radioactivity “Radioisotopes are naturally occurring or synthetic radioactive form of an element. Most radioisotopes are made by bombarding a stable element with neutrons in the core of a nuclear reactor. The radiations given off by radioisotopes are easy to detect. Most natural isotopes of relative atomic mass less than 208 are not radioactive. Those from 210 and up are all radioactive.”(Radioisotope - Hutchinson Encyclopedia)

The Centre Lathe The Centre Lathe is used to manufacture cylindrical shapes from a range of materials including‚ steels and plastics. Many of the components that go together to make an engine work have been manufactured using lathes. These may be lathes operated directly by people or computer controlled lathes that have been programmed to carry out a particular task. A basic manual centre lathe is shown below. This type of lathe is controlled by a person turning the various handles on the top slide
