Nuclear energy and radiation physics investigation ideas

[fatlady1ac]

Hello,
I was just wondering if anybody could give me any ideas about a possible direction in a Physics issues investigation. I am looking at choosing one around nuclear energy and the issues of radiation. Any help or interesting sugestions of avenues in nuclear physics, and or possibe guiding questions would help.
Thanks Dylan.

There is the issue of converting the thermal energy from fission or fusion into useful energy.

Look at this page -

Calculate the energy released in fission and fusion, and the equivalent temperature.

Thanks for that,
I am currently investigating this and it seems like I have found a possible avenue.
