![]() Nuclear energy is also released during fusion, when light nuclei like hydrogen are combined to form heavier nuclei such as helium. The energy from fission is used to generate electric power in hundreds of locations worldwide. Nuclear energy may be released by fission, when heavy atomic nuclei (like uranium and plutonium) are broken apart into lighter nuclei. The best-known classes of exothermic nuclear transmutations are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Energy is consumed or released because of differences in the nuclear binding energy between the incoming and outgoing products of the nuclear transmutation. Introduction Nuclear energy Īn absorption or release of nuclear energy occurs in nuclear reactions or radioactive decay those that absorb energy are called endothermic reactions and those that release energy are exothermic reactions. ![]() These nuclear binding energies and forces are on the order of one million times greater than the electron binding energies of light atoms like hydrogen. When a large nucleus splits into pieces, excess energy is emitted as gamma rays and the kinetic energy of various ejected particles ( nuclear fission products). This energy may be made available as nuclear energy and can be used to produce electricity, as in nuclear power, or in a nuclear weapon. If new binding energy is available when light nuclei fuse ( nuclear fusion), or when heavy nuclei split ( nuclear fission), either process can result in release of this binding energy. The term "nuclear binding energy" may also refer to the energy balance in processes in which the nucleus splits into fragments composed of more than one nucleon. This 'missing mass' is known as the mass defect, and represents the energy that was released when the nucleus was formed. The difference in mass can be calculated by the Einstein equation, E = mc 2, where E is the nuclear binding energy, c is the speed of light, and m is the difference in mass. The mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent protons and neutrons. Both the experimental and theoretical views are equivalent, with slightly different emphasis on what the binding energy means. In this context it represents the energy of the nucleus relative to the energy of the constituent nucleons when they are infinitely far apart. ![]() In theoretical nuclear physics, the nuclear binding energy is considered a negative number. Nucleons are attracted to each other by the strong nuclear force. The binding energy for stable nuclei is always a positive number, as the nucleus must gain energy for the nucleons to move apart from each other. Nuclear binding energy in experimental physics is the minimum energy that is required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its constituent protons and neutrons, known collectively as nucleons. ![]()

Corporate greed that trumps public need is an open invitation to continued conflict and chaos.īrad Bannon is a Democratic pollster and CEO of Bannon Communications Research. A growing middle class is essential to a stable democracy. There’s something fundamentally wrong about an economic system that rewards corporate greed and ignores the needs of poor and middle-class families.

Working families have been running hard for decades without the hope of even reaching for bronze. He needs the help of a new class of aggressive progressive congressional Democrats that will help and not hold back the aspirations of ordinary people.īut there’s a long way to go before the economy works well for ordinary Americans. Last year, Congress has enacted two laws, the American Rescue Act and the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Biden proposed to move America forward and begin the job of rebuilding an economy that collapsed under his predecessor.īiden has done a lot with little support from GOP lawmakers, as well as a few moderate Democrats. The economy has added almost 7 million jobs. Under Biden’s leadership, the nation has enjoyed a remarkable economic recovery. The proposal would have reduced subsidies for big oil companies, increased corporate taxes, cut taxes for middle-income earners, and provided much-needed help to poor people. His big and bold Build Back Better bill would have eliminated many obstacles to economic equity. President Biden wants to be a transformative chief executive, but the Senate is stuck in the mud. Inflation is especially cruel when wealthy Americans and big business aren’t paying their fair share after the big bonanza of former President Trump and congressional Republicans gifted them in 2017. But low- and middle-income families can’t cut back when all their spending is for the basic necessities of life like food for their families and gas to get back and forth to work. Wealthy people can cut back spending for luxury items when prices increase dramatically. Inflation is the cruelest tax because it causes much more pain to people at the low end of the financial totem pole than it does to the privileged at the top. The pandemic put most people in a tight financial squeeze, but it was a great year for the giant ExxonMobil which enjoyed a $ 23 billion profit last year. Gasoline prices rose dramatically by 40 percent last year, so it was hardly surprising that the oil company behemoths recorded astronomical earnings. While drivers stared in disbelief as the price at the gas pump ticked higher and higher, big oil enjoyed record profits. Gas pump sticker shock is the biggest culprit in the disparity between the fortunes of big corporations and plight of ordinary Americans. Aggressive government intervention, not laissez faire economics, is necessary to eliminate the stranglehold that Wall Street has used to choke off mobility for the poor and middle class for the last generation. We won’t enjoy a true economic recovery until consumers do as well as big business already is. The immense gap between rising corporate profits and decrease in consumer buying power is a sure sign of an economy in decline. In the last 12 months ending in January this year, real hourly wages adjusted for inflation declined by 1.7 percent.īig businesses, in sharp contrast, hit pay dirt last year with estimated profits for S&P 500 companies rising by nearly 50 percent in 2021. ![]() ![]() The dry numbers paint a vivid portrait of corporate greed and human suffering.
