Energy In Agriculture: Energy Resource Series For Youth And Adult Energy Programs: 8. Nuclear Fusion, George M. Turner
Agricultural Engineering Energy Series
The subject of nuclear energy can be divided into two parts, fission and fusion. The purpose of this publication is to describe the process of nuclear fusion.
Fusion of atomic nuclei offers tremendous possibility of energy. Since all forecasts point toward a need for more energy in this country, this method of energy production can provide a significant share.
At the present time we do not know for certain that energy from the fusion process will be scientifically and economically successful. It is certain that much research will continue to take place; if fusion can be achieved, the promise of …

Nuclear power is one of the leading sources in our search for energy. One source of nuclear power is nuclear fission, an energy-releasing process in which the nuclei of atoms are split. The energy produced is close kin to chemical energy. Similar basic laws, rules and reasoning apply.
Perhaps the best means of gaining an overall understanding of nuclear energy is to examine three of the known force fields in nature. Because of the importance of these basic concepts, this publication will concentrate on descriptions of these force fields and how they are harnessed for our use.
In addition, the …

The linkage between the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and weapons development is a complex one; therefore, this article presents both sensitive nuclear technology and the nature of nuclear proliferation in some detail before proceeding to a critique of the current American policy. Accordingly, Part II describes causes of proliferation, uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing technology, and nuclear proliferation pathways. Part III examines the international safeguards regime, including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Nuclear Suppliers’ Guidelines. Part IV summarizes the statutory basis for the current U.S. policy, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, while Part V evaluates this policy …
