Nuclear energy production
What are the two main processes for nuclear energy production?
Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission
Who's the famous Italian-American scientist who took part in the development of the atomic bomb?
Enrico Fermi
What are the three main methods that we use to manage solid waste?
Landfill, incineration and controlled dumps
Congratulations, we noticed your commitment to recycling.
You win 200 points
Which are the two main atoms that are used in nuclear fission?
uranium-235 and plutonium-239
You triggered the bomb!!!
You lose 200 point... :(
What's the most commonly used solid waste management method?
Landfill
What are the benefits of recycling materials?
Enviromental, economic, resources conservation
How does the hydrogen bomb work?
It works by the principle of nuclear fusion. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium, releasing great amounts of energy
Where has the U.S. army first used the atomic bombs?
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Which one costs the most: landfills or controlled dumps?
Landfill
What are a few of the materials that are more commonly recycled?
Metal, plastic, paper and cardboard, glass, e-waste, and textile materials.
How nuclear fission work?
It splits atoms, like uranium and plutonium, into two smaller nuclei called fission fragments, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy, heat, and radiation.
Is this world war three?
All teams get their points halved!!!
What is the advantage of using incineration as a solid waste management method?
It reduce the waste's volume by 30%
What are the products of organic waste composting?
Soil amendments and fertilizers.
What did scientists achieve in December 2022?
They managed to produce more energy from the nuclear fusion process than it required.
What are the three main effects of the explosion of an atomic bomb?
Intense blast waves, extreme heat that can reach millions of degrees, and ionizing radiations.
How is a leachate formed?
It's the result of the rain filtering through a landfill and seeping into the ground, dragging into the aquifer elements that are harmful to humans.
What are all the steps to the recycling process?
Collection and sorting, cleaning and preprocessing, reprocessing, manufacturing.
