	Nuclear engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuclear engineering is the practical application of the atomic nucleus gleaned from principles of nuclear physics and the interaction between radiation and matter.
		Further coursework in a nuclear engineering program includes but are not limited to fluid mechanics, reactor physics, quantum mechanics, thermal hydraulics, linear circuits, radiation effects, and neutron transport.
		Specialization in fission, includes the study of nuclear reactors, fission systems, and nuclear power plants, the primary teachings deal with neutronics and thermal-hydraulics for nuclear generated electricity.

		Nuclear fuels can be part of a self-sustaining chain reaction that releases energy at a controlled rate in a nuclear reactor or a very rapid uncontrolled rate in a nuclear weapon.
		Nuclear fission differs from other forms of radioactive decay in that it can be harnessed and controlled via a chain reaction: free neutrons released by each fission event can trigger yet more events, which in turn release more neutrons and cause more fissions.
		One class of nuclear weapon, a fission bomb, otherwise known as an atomic bomb, is a fission reactor designed to liberate as much energy as possible as rapidly as possible, before the released energy causes the reactor to explode (and the chain reaction to stop).

	Nuclear technology - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Nuclear power plants were built to generate household electric power.
		Nuclear submarines were built, able to travel at speed while submerged for months at a time.
		Nuclear ships were built, primarily aircraft carriers, although a few icebreakers were built.

	Encyclopedia article on Nuclear reactor [EncycloZine] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate (as opposed to a nuclear explosion, where the chain reaction occurs in a split second).
		Nuclear reactors are (with the exception of certain speculative subcritical reactors) designed to contain critical masses that are not prompt critical, so that control systems can react quickly enough to maintain a steady rate of heat production.
		In the vast majority of the world's nuclear power plants, heat energy generated by fissioning uranium fuel is collected in purified water and is carried away from the reactor's core either as steam in boiling water reactors or as superheated water in pressurized-water reactors.

	The Ultimate Nuclear power Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		Nuclear power is the energy generated from nuclear reactions or decay of an atom nucleus.
		While the enriched uranium used in most nuclear reactors is not concentrated enough to build a bomb (most nuclear reactors run on 4% enriched uranium, while a bomb requires an estimated 90% enrichment), the technology used to enrich uranium could be used to make the highly enriched uranium needed to build a bomb.
		Nuclear power does have very useful additional advantages such as the production of radioisotopes which are used in medicine and food preservation, though the demand for these products can be satisfied by a relatively small number of plants.
