  1. CHAPTER22 Nuclear Chemistry IV. Applications (p. 713 - 716) I II III C. Johannesson IV

  2. Cooling Tower A. Nuclear Power • Fission Reactors C. Johannesson

  3. A. Nuclear Power • Fission Reactors C. Johannesson

  4. A. Nuclear Power • Fusion Reactors (not yet sustainable) C. Johannesson

  5. A. Nuclear Power • Fusion Reactors (not yet sustainable) National Spherical Torus Experiment Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor Princeton University C. Johannesson

  6. B. Synthetic Elements • Transuranium Elements • elements with atomic #s above 92 • synthetically produced in nuclear reactors and accelerators • most decay very rapidly C. Johannesson

  7. C. Radioactive Dating • half-life measurements of radioactive elements are used to determine the age of an object • decay rate indicates amount of radioactive material • EX: 14C - up to 40,000 years238U and 40K - over 300,000 years C. Johannesson

  8. Radiation treatment using -rays from cobalt-60. D. Nuclear Medicine • Radioisotope Tracers • absorbed by specific organs and used to diagnose diseases • Radiation Treatment • larger doses are used to kill cancerous cells in targeted organs • internal or external radiation source C. Johannesson

  9. E. Nuclear Weapons • Atomic Bomb • chemical explosion is used to form a critical mass of 235U or 239Pu • fission develops into an uncontrolled chain reaction • Hydrogen Bomb • chemical explosion  fission  fusion • fusion increases the fission rate • more powerful than the atomic bomb C. Johannesson

  10. F. Others • Food Irradiation •  radiation is used to kill bacteria • Radioactive Tracers • explore chemical pathways • trace water flow • study plant growth, photosynthesis • Consumer Products • ionizing smoke detectors - 241Am C. Johannesson
