Document Summary
Radioactive gas produced from the decay of radium. Found in large quantities near uranium mining facilities. Use of deep tap root plants to absorb radioactive materials from water supplies. Classification for alpha emitting material with an atomic number > u. May or may not be more radioactive than hlw from weapons production, power, research. Inefficiency of a power plant is due to increases in entropy. Energy that flows from a warmer body to a cooler body. Separates crude oil into factions with similar boiling points. Catalysts play important role in cracking and reforming processes. Process in which a solution is heated to its boiling point then vapors are condensed and collected. Gasses with different molecular weights forced through filters. Gas centrifuges in spinning cylinder, heavier collect on the outside less e required than diffusion. Separate and recover pu from spent fuel. Mox (mixed oside fuel pu mixed with u) Cecycled pu = 12-20% increase in e from fuel.
