Nuclear Friends Foundation (NFF) aims at spreading the awareness related to Nuclear Energy and its generation process. For this, NFF rolls out much engaging and fun learning activities like interactive contests on social media platforms to communicate with its large audience. The slides give you a complete glimpse of some of the key contests gone live on the Facebook social media platform with how an impact was made on mindsets through carefully planned contests based on a campaign.
2. Nuclear Friends Foundation
Supporting Clean, Sustainable Energy For Our Planet:
● Nuclear Friends Foundation (NFF) separates the facts from all the noise you hear about nuclear
energy.
● Nuclear Friends Foundation (NFF) is focused on answering queries that you may have about this
eco-friendly mode of power generation, busting myth surrounding it.
● Nuclear Friends Foundation (NFF) takes up the role of playing the catalyst between you and
everything about nuclear energy.
● Nuclear Friends Foundation, a non-profit organization, is established with the objective of
propagating true and eye-opening facts about nuclear energy and its myriad applications helpful to
mankind.
● NFF offers an open platform to everyone who realizes the power of this modern form of clean and
sustainable energy as well as its undeniable role in fighting global warming and the consequential
climate change.
In a nutshell, NFF endeavours to create a strong base of nuclear friends by:
● Serving as a platform for all group segments of people;
● Being an one-stop destination for all things nuclear;
● Sharing facts about the undeniable merits of the nuclear power;
● Being active on all major social media platforms as well.
3. #NuclearMilestone
● The Contest was about the milestones that nuclear energy has achieved in india as well
as international. Participant or Contestants have to answer questions based on some of
the notable events in the history of Nuclear Energy. As it was an step to make people
aware of the history of Nuclear Energy.

● Obninsk Nuclear Power Station was built in the "Science City" of Obninsk, Kaluga Oblast,
Southwest of Moscow. It was the first nuclear reactor that produced commercial electricity and first
grid-connected nuclear power station in the world.
● Kudankulam Unit 1 was synchronized with the southern power grid on 22 October 2013. Unit-1
was operating at 73% capacity (680 MW) by April 2014. Unit 1 attained its maximum capacity of
1,000 MWe at 1:20 p.m. on 7 June 2014.

5. Contest Post
● Dr. Homi J. Bhabha was an Indian nuclear physicist, founding director, and professor of physics at
the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Colloquially known as "Father of the Indian nuclear
programme".
● Sellafield site measures 6 square kilometres with 10,000 employees at Sellafield Ltd. It is the
Largest nuclear site in Europe. Nuclear fuel has been reprocessed at the Sellafield site for over 50
years. Reprocessing spent fuel allows 97% of this used fuel to be recycled back into new fuel.

6. #CompleteTheCycle
● #CompleteTheCycle was to remind people about our basic life cycle in our
surrounding, which is getting affected due to heavy pollution and how necessary is to
save our earth from getting more polluted. As a rise of demand of energy, we need
more efficient power source which will be none other than Nuclear Energy.

7. Contest Post
● Denitrification is a microbially-facilitated process of nitrate reduction that ultimately produce
molecular nitrogen (N2
) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products.
● Carbon Dioxide in Photosynthesis uses the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon
dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
● DENITRIFICATION ● CARBON
DIOXIDE
8. Contest Post
● Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally
from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
● Precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under
gravity. The main forms of precipitation are drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail.
● PHOTOSYNTHESIS ● PRECIPITATION
9. Contest Comments
Each question received a minimum of 300 comments. We kept the contest subject basic, which
everybody knew.
10. #UntangleTheWord
● The #UntangleTheWord is a Facebook contest where contestants will be given a
jumbled word for which he/she can comment with the correct related to the respective
radioactive element. This contest was basically to engage people.

11. ● Thorium has double the energy when compared to Uranium and also it undergoes nuclear fission,
same as Uranium. India has abundant source of Thorium which is second highest in the world.
● Einsteinium has no uses outside research. It is highly used as research element due to its
radioactivity.
● THORIUM ● EINSTEINIUM

12. Contest Post
● Uranium which is more used as a fuel in the Nuclear Power Plants. It does not release carbon
emissions as it is the greenest form of energy and helps in reducing carbon prints.
● Actinium is used in medicine to produce Bi-213 in a re-usable generator or can be used alone as
an agent for radio-immunotherapy for cancer patients.
● ACTINIUM ● URANIUM
13. Contest Comments
Each question had enormous response on facebook. By keeping the contest simple we were able
to involve large number of people in the contest, who were continuously engaged with the contest
over the period of 2 years.
14. Contest on Nuclear Friends Foundation
● The main aim of the contest is to educate people about nuclear energy and basic
science.
● Nuclear power plants use “Nuclear Fission” (the process of splitting an atom in two).
“Nuclear Fusion” (the process of combining atoms into one) has the potential to be
safer but has not yet been developed to operate within a large power plant.
● Nuclear energy comes from Uranium, Thorium and Plutonium. Nuclear power plants
generate energy without producing Co2
electricity.
● Nuclear energy is being used in more than 30 countries around the world and even
powers Mars rovers.
● Contest on Nuclear Friends Foundation’s social media page educates people and
removes myths about Nuclear Energy and spreads its presence all over social media
platforms.
