1Radiation protection — Radiation protection, sometimes known as radiological protection, is the science of protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, which includes both particle radiation and high energy electromagnetic… …
2Neutron howitzer — The name Neutron Howitzer was given to a neutron source that was developed after it was discovered in the 1930s that alpha radiation that strikes the Beryllium nucleus would release neutrons. The high speed of the alpha is sufficient to overcome… …
3Nuclear weapon design — The first nuclear weapons, though large, cumbersome and inefficient, provided the basic design building blocks of all future weapons. Here the Gadget device is prepared for the first nuclear test: Trinity. Nuclear weapon designs are physical,… …
4Inertial confinement fusion — (ICF) is a process where nuclear fusion reactions are initiated by heating and compressing a fuel target, typically in the form of a pellet that most often contains a mixture of deuterium and tritium.To compress and heat the fuel, energy is… …
5List of Universal Century technology — This is a list of fictional technology from the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime metaseries. Real Life History These technologies first debuted in Gundam Century , written by fans at that time, later endorsed by Sunrise and Bandai,… …
6Actinide — The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki had a plutonium charge.[1] The actinide or actinoid (IUPAC nomenclature) series encompasses the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium thro …
7Fusion power — The Sun is a natural fusion reactor. Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus (in contrast with fission power). In doing so they release a …
8Cold fusion — This article is about the Fleischmann–Pons claims of nuclear fusion at room temperature. For the original use of the term cold fusion , see Muon catalyzed fusion. For all other definitions, see Cold fusion (disambiguation). Diagram of an open… …
9Wigner effect — The Wigner effect (named for its discoverer, E. P. Wigner)[1], also known as the discomposition effect, is the displacement of atoms in a solid caused by neutron radiation. Any solid can be affected by the Wigner effect, but the effect is of most …
