A reactor that actually produce nuclear fuels.
and reactor that consumes more fissionable material than it produces
What is breeder reactors and burner reactors
100
A nuclear accident in which the nuclear fuel forms a molten mass that breaches the containment of the reactor, contaminating the outside environment with radioactivity.
What is melt-down
100
An important efficient and clean-burning fuel commonly used in homes and industry.
What is natural gas
100
Radioactive waste consisting of human-made radioactive elements heavier than uranium.Includes clothing, rags, tools, and equipment that has been contaminated.
What is Transuranic waste
100
A solid, brittle carbonaceous rock that is one of the world's most abundant fossil fuels. Can turn into diamonds.
What is coal
200
The splitting of an atom into smaller fragments with the release of energy. And Combining of light elements to form heavier elements with the release of energy.
What is Fission and Fusion
200
The energy of the atomic nucleus that, when released, may be used to do work.
What is nuclear energy
200
A process of decay of radioisotopes that change from one isotope to another and emit one or more forms of radiation.
What is radio-active decay
200
A white icelike compound made up of molecules of methane gas trapped in “cages” of frozen water in the sediments of the deep seafloor.
What is Methane hydrate
200
Forms of stored solar energy created from incomplete biological decomposition of dead organic matter.
Includes coal, crude oil, and natural gas.
What is fossil fuels
300
Extremely toxic nuclear waste, such as spent fuel elements from commercial reactors.
And
Waste materials that contain sufficiently low concentrations or quantities of radioactivity so as not to present a significant environmental hazard if properly handled.
What is high level and low level radioactive waste.
300
Processes involved with producing nuclear power from the mining and processing of uranium to control fission, reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, decommissioning of power plants, and disposal of radioactive waste.
What is nuclear fuel cycle
300
Surface mining in which the overlying layer of rock and soil is stripped off to reach the resource.
What is Strip mining
300
A process of removing sulfur from gases emitted from power plants burning coal.
What is Scrubbing
300
Naturally occurring petroleum, normally pumped from wells in oil field.
What is crude oil
400
Devices that produce controlled nuclear fission, generally for the production of electric energy.
What is nuclear reactors
400
An approach to managing coal resources and reducing pollution through buying a, selling, and trading of allowances to emit pollutants from burning coal.
What is Allowance Trading
400
A fine-grained sedimentary rock containing organic material known as kerogen.
What is Oil Shale
400
The time when one-half of Earth's oil has been exploited.
What is peak oil
500
Ink pen and pencil
What are writing utensils
500
A form of a chemical element that spontaneously undergoes radioactive decay.
What is radioisotope
500
Sedimentary rocks or sands impregnated with tar oil, asphalt, or bitumen.
What is Tar Sands
500
Hump day
What is Wednesday
500
Synthetic fuels, which may be liquid or gaseous, derived from solid fuels, such as oil from kerogen in oil shale, or oil and gas from coal.
