    1. UNDERSTANDING FISSION

    2. Relative size

    3. Strong Nuclear Force An attractive force that acts between all nucleons

    7. Nuclear Energy Comes from Fission

    9. Particles from Radioactive Decay Wind is a form of renewable energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation. Humans use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes: sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity. Wind is a form of renewable energy.

    10. Alpha Particles Many developers would like to move windfarms offshore because the wind are faster, smoother and they can be close to major population centers on the coast. This is very controversial in the US….we have a few planned offshore farms…CapeWind and Long Island…but nothing installed. Major complaints about offshore are related visual impact, navigation impact and lack of historical data on impact. Check http://www.capewind.org/ There are quiet a few offshore wind farms in Europe near Holland, England, Ireland, Sweden and the Denmark. This one is off the coast of Copehagen.

Beta Particles Review bulleted points on slide Largest turbine currently in production produced by a german company called RePower 5 MW turbine…produces 5MW (enough energy for 1500 homes) at it highest output capacity.

    12. Gamma Rays

    13. Half-Life Curve for Radioactive Decay

    14. Reduction of Mass with Radioactive Decay Solar Energy is intermittent and requires a large area to collect a useful amount. The amount of energy delivered to any individual place dependent on time of day, season, latitude and cloudiness.Solar Energy is intermittent and requires a large area to collect a useful amount.

    15. Dangerous Isotopes from fission Wind energy is one of the renewable sources of energy. It is considered renewable because it is ultimately derived from the sun and is capable of being replenished on a reasonable time-scale. If asked about zero emissions: Although wind is a zero emissions electrical generation option, there are emissions in the development and construction of wind projects – concrete, transportation of components, etc. Wind energy is one of the renewable sources of energy.
