I'm in Health Physics but my degree is Radiological Health Science. The program had classes in health physics and medical physics. I just geared more towards Health Physics to work in nuclear power whereas much of my classmates were geared towards medical physics. I support Choppy's response...

I've been involved in the hiring process in a previous job. Typically you have many applicants who are qualified for the position and pick the one who stands out. That doesn't mean none of the others would be a good fit, you only have so many positions available and have to make a decision...

[MODERATOR: reference to a deleted post edited out.] The explanation to build a nuclear bomb is really not that difficult if you understand the concept. For a gun type, all you're doing is take a mass of fissile material and set off an explosion which shoots the material into a larger mass of...

In my experience when people say "there aren't any jobs" or "nobody will hire me for x reason" it actually means they arent actually trying or it happened once or twice. Simple fact is employers don't have to explain themselves why they do or do not want to hire someone. I applied for a job...

Short answer, yes it can be used for TEG's. Long answer, TEG's are very inefficient. Employeeing them at a commercial power plant would be like using a cigarette lighter to roast a marshmallow when you're standing next to a forest fire.

Is there a question?

1. Probably way too advanced for a high school paper. You'd be delving into things you probably don't yet understand. 2. If you don't know what inventions, probably not the best topic. 3. You'd need to pick one. Doing both sides in one paper usually doesn't turn out well written 4. Another one...

The most important thing when juggling multiple jobs is to be reliable and flexible, not just between your jobs but your entire life. Making a schedule is not a simple task with so many employees, especially at a fast food place which is prone to be full of unreliable people. So asking your boss...

When ITER is finished it should prove the viability of fusion for commercial use.

You do understand that reactors are fueled by uranium/plutonium/thorium, all of which are radioactive, right?

The ultimate problem with NASA, or any space agency, using nuclear powered anything is that there's still a significant rocket failure rate. Which when the result would be radioactive fallout going everywhere a significant rate is anything over zero.

Im confused on what point you are trying to make

Here's my math order that I did in school. Algebra 1 Geometry Algebra 2 Trigonometry Calculus 1 Calculus 2 Calculus 3 Linear Algebra Differential Equations Take a look at coursera, a website that has a bunch of free online classes.

Some hydrogen is probably lost to the tungsten barrier in a tokamak.
