Nuclear power has advantages like no greenhouse gas emissions but also drawbacks like radioactive waste and high initial costs.
Nuclear power plants generate electricity through nuclear fission in a reactor. There are two main types of reactors - pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors. Pressurized water reactors keep water under pressure so it heats but does not boil, while boiling water reactors allow the water to boil. The heated water generates steam that powers turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Nuclear power plants produce little greenhouse gas emissions during operation but some during other stages of the nuclear fuel cycle. Radioactive waste is a byproduct and must be safely contained and isolated.

Different energy sources & Solar cooker - GermanyIoana Stancut
Presentation on different energy sources and the making of a solar cooker, which was built by the German team together with their teacher Dr. Rajinder Singh. This was made for the mobility in Greece- february 2013.
Terrafugia has developed a prototype flying car called the TF-X that could enter mass production. The TF-X borrows construction techniques from hybrid cars in that it runs on both electricity and gasoline. It can carry four people, fly up to 800 kilometers, and fit in a normal garage. On the road it uses electricity, but a gasoline engine powers flight. An autopilot system finds suitable landing spots when fuel runs low, though the pilot makes the final safety decision.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Renewable energy
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy
that comes from resources which are naturally
replenished on a human timescale such as
sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal
heat.
Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in
four distinct areas:
electricity generation, hot water/space heating,
motor fuels and rural (off-grid) energy services.
4. Wind energy
Wind energy is a form of renewable energy. At first
wind energy was converted into mechanical
energy. It has been used since the beginning of
humanity as a means of propulsion on the water for
various craft and later as energy windmills.
5. In Romania, wind farms are
found in:
Dobrogea - 3634.7
Moldova - 257.59
Banat - 254
Muntenia - 516 035
6. Cernavoda nuclear power plant
It came into operation on 2 December 1996 at Cernavoda and it works with
heavy water as moderator, using enriched uranium and produces a single
reactor.
Cernavoda Nuclear power plant is unique in Romania. It produces about 18% of
the country's electricity consumption.
NPP is a joint assembly and construction facilities to produce electricity using
nuclear
based. Obtaining nuclear fission reaction is based on (decomposition)
nuclear chain. Facility that provides the conditions for obtaining and
maintaining the chain reaction is nuclear reactor. In principle, the reactor
consists of a central portion called the active area, in which the fission
reaction and the heat of the reaction developed.
7. Lotru-Ciunget Hydroelectric Power Plant
Lotru-Ciunget is an underground hydroelectric power plant located
in Valcea county, situated on the river Lotru. It is situated at a depth
of 140 m below the river Latorita. It is designed to come into
operation in 4-5 minutes in crises situations of Power System, the need
for electricity is high, helping to regulate power and frequency. The
supply of otter lake in the town of the same name. The plant was first
commissioned in 1972 and has an installed capacity of 510 MW
(for comparison, the Cernavoda reactor has a power of about 600MW)
and is equipped with three hydro-aggregates of Pelton turbines one 170
MW each.
