Nuclear energy is released through fission, fusion, and radioactivity. There are two types: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission occurs when a nucleus splits and releases energy, such as when a Uranium-235 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, resulting in a chain reaction. This was used in the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Nuclear reactors produce energy through controlled fission reactions using uranium fuel. Nuclear fusion is the merging of light nuclei to form heavier nuclei and was an energy source for the sun.

Nuclear energy1
Nuclear energy is released through fission, fusion, and radioactivity that occurs within an atom's nucleus. There are two types of nuclear energy: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission occurs when a nucleus splits after absorbing a particle, releasing energy. It can occur in a self-sustaining chain reaction, such as those that power nuclear reactors or occur in atomic bombs. Nuclear fusion occurs when two light atomic nuclei merge to form a heavier nucleus, as happens within stars like our Sun.
Nuclear material
Nuclear material refers to materials that can undergo nuclear reactions and are used for nuclear energy and weapons. The most common nuclear materials are uranium and plutonium isotopes. Nuclear materials are categorized as source, fissile, fissionable, or fusionable depending on their nuclear properties and reactions. Source materials like uranium ores are widely occurring in nature while fissile materials like U-235 are used as nuclear fuel. Nuclear materials have various applications including nuclear power generation, medical uses, academic research, and weapons. However, nuclear materials also pose safety, waste, and proliferation risks if not properly managed and regulated.
Nuclear Fission Reactor
The document discusses fundamentals of mechatronics and nuclear fission reactor technology. It describes how a nuclear reactor works by sustaining a controlled nuclear chain reaction, unlike a nuclear bomb. It then covers various stages of the nuclear fuel cycle from mining and processing uranium to use in reactors, interim storage, and reprocessing. Finally, it discusses different types of nuclear reactors including generations I-IV and examples like molten salt reactors, sodium-cooled fast reactors, and lead-cooled fast reactors.

Nuclear chain reaction. What is a chain reaction? Nuclear Fission process.Mechanism of the Fission process.Examples of Nuclear Fission Reaction, Fission as a chain mechanism.Critical Mass. Why we use Uranium-235 and Plutonium? Types of Fission chain process. Control Chain Reaction. Uncontrolled Chain reaction. Problem with Nuclear Fission Reactions. Advantages of the fission process. Disadvantages of the Fission process. Applications of the Fission process. A complete explanation by Syed Hammad Ali Gillani.
Uranium enrichment and extraction from ores
Uranium enrichment and extraction involves mining uranium ore from the ground, milling it to extract uranium, and then enriching the uranium to increase the percentage of the fissile U-235 isotope. This document discusses the nuclear fuel cycle and various methods used at each step, including open pit mining, in situ leaching, and milling to produce yellowcake; and enrichment methods like gaseous diffusion, gas centrifuges, and lasers to increase the U-235 concentration for use in nuclear reactors or weapons.
Nuclear Fission
Nuclear fission occurs when heavy atomic nuclei split into lighter parts, releasing energy. In a nuclear reactor, uranium-235 nuclei are split in a controlled chain reaction to generate heat and produce steam to power turbines for electricity production. Nuclear reactors use fuel rods containing uranium-235 surrounded by water as a moderator. Control rods made of boron or cadmium absorb neutrons to control the fission rate. Nuclear power plants transfer heat from the reactor to steam, which powers the turbines to generate electricity via an electromagnetic generator. Radioactive waste from the plants requires careful long-term storage.
Module No. 49
1) Nuclear energy can be harnessed from both fission and fusion reactions and is used in nuclear reactors, power plants, and weapons.
2) Pakistan operates a 137 MW nuclear power reactor in Karachi and plans to build more reactors through agreements with countries like France and China.
3) Atomic bombs use uncontrolled fission chain reactions to produce enormous explosive energy, while hydrogen bombs use fusion reactions to produce even greater explosive heat energy.
Nuclear fission
This document discusses nuclear fission and was prepared by a group of students. It provides a brief history of nuclear fission pioneers like Otto Hahn and Enrico Fermi. It defines fission as the splitting of a heavy nucleus into smaller fragments. When uranium-235 captures a neutron, it becomes unstable uranium-236 and splits into fragments, releasing neutrons and energy in the process. This energy release can be harnessed for nuclear power generation or results in an atomic explosion depending on whether the fission reaction is controlled or uncontrolled.

Nuclear Power Plant Presentation
Fission is the splitting of a nucleus into smaller parts that releases energy. It can occur through nuclear chain reactions where neutrons produced in one fission induce additional fissions. Uranium-235 is commonly used as it can undergo fission when struck by slow neutrons. This results in fission products like krypton and strontium, more neutrons on average, and a large amount of energy. A controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor uses fissionable material as fuel, neutron moderators to slow neutrons, control rods to regulate the reaction, coolants to remove heat, and shielding to protect from radiation. Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using the heat from fission in a reactor to

Finally, it provides information on nuclear power programs worldwide and in Bangladesh specifically, as well as advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power.
Nuclear power plant
A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. As is typical in all conventional thermal power stations the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to an electric generator which produces electricity.
Enrico Fermi is considered to have invented nuclear power, along with his colleagues at the University of Chicago in 1942, by successfully demonstrating the first controlled self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.

The document discusses different types of forces including contact forces, non-contact forces, gravitational forces, magnetic forces, external forces, balanced forces, and frictional forces. Contact forces occur when objects come into direct contact, while non-contact forces act from a distance. Gravitational forces are associated with mass and magnetic forces with magnetic fields. External forces cause motion when applied to an object from outside. Balanced forces have equal pulling forces resulting in no movement, while unbalanced forces cause movement due to their inequality. Frictional forces occur between objects in contact.

Newton's three laws of motion describe the relationship between the forces acting on a body and its motion due to those forces. The first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Nuclear energy1
Nuclear energy is released through fission, fusion, and radioactivity. There are two types: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission occurs when a nucleus splits and releases energy, such as when a Uranium-235 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, resulting in a chain reaction. This was used in the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Nuclear reactors produce energy through controlled fission reactions using uranium fuel. Nuclear fusion is the merging of light nuclei to form heavier nuclei and was an energy source for the sun.
Water[1]
Nearly two thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Water exists in liquid, solid, and vapor forms and can easily change between these states. The melting point of ice is the temperature at which ice changes to water. While about 97% of water on Earth is in the oceans, only around 2% is fresh water suitable for human use, so it is important to conserve this precious resource. Water scarcity is a problem in many areas due to factors like pollution, leakage, and waste.

This document discusses three types of mirrors: convex, concave, and plane. Convex mirrors curve outward and make objects appear closer. Concave mirrors curve inward and make objects appear larger. Plane mirrors show the actual image. The document then focuses on concave mirrors, explaining that their focal length is the distance from the pole to principal focus. It provides six examples of the different types of images formed by concave mirrors depending on the object's position relative to the center of curvature and focal point. These include real/virtual and inverted/erect images. Two examples are also given for images formed by convex mirrors.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Nuclear energy
- 2. Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom and released through fission, fusion and radioactivity
- 3. There are two types of nuclear energy 1. Nuclear Fission 2. Nuclear Fusion
- 4. NUCLEAR FISSION When a particle of sufficient energy is shot on to a heavier nucleus the nucleus splits and releases energy. This reaction is called NUCLEAR FISSION
- 5. When Uranium 235 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron 0n1 + 92U235
- 7. When an Uranium nucleus undergoes fission, neutrons are released. These neutrons in turn split the surrounding uranium nuclei releasing neutrons in each reaction. This is called CHAIN REACTION
- 10. Example for nuclear fission ATOM BOMB
