COURSE SUMMARY

MEHB513…

Some of my friend did ask me, “Why this subject is so different, the first code is 5???Macam susah jer…

Actually MEHB513 – Introduction to Nuclear Technology seems like not an introduction course to us…if you had counted all the slides….phew~…..so many…hehehe =) but after the lecture had started, we realized that there are actually many things that we should know to really understand how a nuclear power plant generates electricity…

Support for nuclear energy is often underestimated


            The use of nuclear energy should be supported for the benefit of nation. Nuclear energy can fulfill increasing electricity demand from the population in the future. For your information, nuclear energy is environment friendly. This is because nuclear energy emits no carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming phenomena. However the support of nuclear energy is often underestimated.

Nuclear Talk Review. Harry Potter Syle (Part 2)


Harry, Ron, Hermione and Lord Voldemort are stunned. The demonic presence of Lady Gaga seems to immobilize them. No forms of magic could harm her because she’s the one doing the harming and despite being witch and wizards, there’s nothing they could do. A nuclear bomb is much safer than this abomination.

Ron : Arghh! This is scarier than spiders!

Hermione : Scarier than not getting A for exams!

Harry : Scarier than Dementors!

Lord Voldemort : Scarier than my mom!

Hermione : Enough! I won’t stand for this! Though I might hesitate to use the Unforgivable Curses even on Voldemort, I won’t with this one!

Harry : Me too!

Ron : Me three!

LV : You go girl!

In union, Harry, Ron and Hermione for the sake of mankind unleash their power to kill Lady Gaga.

HRH : Avada Kedavra!

Lady Gaga : Don’t call my name, don’t call my name Alejandro. Arghhh!

And Lady Gaga drops dead.

Nuclear Talk Review. Harry Potter Style



So ... it seems we’re destined to meet again ... oh alright!
FYI, my classmates and I had to go to this ‘Nuclear Talk’ the other day (Friday, 9th October 2010) held at my college (UNITEN! Woohoo!) by the ‘Malaysia's Nuclear Agency’. So for this entry I’m gonna give a review on that talk.

Let’s make it more fun shall we? People, introducing:

Book 8 of the Harry Potter saga (unreleased apparently)

MIDF positive on Malaysia power sector

MIDF Research has maintained its 'positive' stance on the power sector on the launch of the projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) for the power sector.

In its research note, MIDF said under the ETP, the government has outlined three major areas -- deployment of nuclear energy, solar capacity build-up and the development of hydropower.

It said Tenaga Nasional Bhd would become the major beneficiary.

"It will remain the dominant force in the development of renewable energy,and this will bring more positives than negatives to the company.

"We do not expect a major shift in its business fundamentals anytime soon, with the exception of an impending tariff review," it said.

MIDF said overall, the ETP would have a neutral impact on the sector, given the fact that the gestation period for the benefits of renewable energy to be reaped was rather long. - Bernama

p/s: nuclear will be our source of energy to generate electricity in the future =)

Nuclear power is viable 

4 October 2010


I REFER to "Public not consulted on nuclear energy plan" (Letters, Sept 27). The decision by the Merkel government to go ahead with the plan for extending the operation of 17 nuclear reactors in Germany 12 more years was not well-received by anti-nuclear movements. Beyond that obvious effect, however, we need to look at the ramifications of that decision in a different light.

Results of the polls last week

Based on our survey,out of 17 respondent,  14 of them says that they love the nuclear, 2 of them dont care and 1 say it is dangerous. It means that, most of the respondent are willing to accept the nuclear.



thank you for the people who voting.

see you in the next poll.

Nuclear Malaysia is planning for a bigger reactor and is training more personnel for this purpose.
 Nuclear Malaysia is planning for a bigger reactor and is training more personnel for this purpose.

Many quarters are against the proposal to build a nuclear power plant in Malaysia. The authorities feel it is due to misconception and negative perception on the idea of nuclear energy itself. NOOR HAZWAN HARIZ MOHD, MAIZATUL RANAI and SEAN AUGUSTIN report.

Myth: Nuclear Energy is dangerous

Nuclear energy is the cleanest, greenest electricity

Nuclear energy

What is nuclear energy?  

Nuclear is one source of energy. Nuclear power is produced by processes of fission, fusion and reactivity. The nuclear power plants worldwide use the concept of fission process to generate electricity. Nowadays, nuclear technology and renewable energy gain serious attention from the people worldwide as a source of energy. Nuclear energy can be considered as a green energy.

CAP: Nuclear plant decision lacks public feedback

September 24, 2010
 
GEORGE TOWN, Sept 24  — The government’s decision to have a nuclear plant by 2021 has met with strong opposition from the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP). Its president Mohammad Idris said his association was “very disturbed” to read that the government has already decided on the proposed nuclear energy programme although “it lacked genuine public consultations”.
“We recalled that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak has indicated in his 1 Malaysia blog following public outcry against adopting nuclear power plant that he would like to obtain public opinion on the matter,” he said in a statement today.

Neutron moderator, nuclear reactor coolant and control rods



Yo peeps (notice my ‘Mat Salleh’ wannabe?). How y’all doing? (from Memphis apparently). Alright, let’s cut to the chase. For this third entry, we will talk about neutron moderator, nuclear reactor coolant and control rods.

Before we go any further, let’s take a ride on some nuclear lesson shall we? First off, what exactly is a nuclear reactor?

Nuclear Reactor:

·         A device to initiate and control a continuous nuclear chain reaction−splitting of the nucleus of an atom into smaller parts often producing free neutrons and photons (fission) of heavy isotopes like 235U−that releases several million times more energy per reaction.

·         It converts the thermal energy released from nuclear fission to boil water, producing pressurized steam which will then drive a steam turbine that generates electricity (just like conventional fossil fuels power stations).

·         It has undergone many revolution and currently, the Generation III is in operation and development like AP-1000(a 2-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR)),EPR(a  4-loop PWR), ATMEA-1(a 3-loop PWR)and many more.

Well then, enough of this confusion and let’s move on to the next puzzlement of the day, neutron moderator. Whenever nuclear fission occurs, neutrons that are normally bounded into an atomic nucleus are freed with energies of several MeV (mega electron volt).

TNB Ready To Undertake Malaysia's First Nuclear Power Plant
September 22, 2010 19:32 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is ready to undertake the country's first nuclear power plant but needs the public to understand the importance of having the plan to meet future demand for electricity.

"We are ready," TNB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh said Wednesday.

Food for Thought...

"Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and NUCLEAR, puts out CO2. And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. And so, we need energy miracles." - Bill Gates

28 Sept Class Summary

Hi!... we're back, today is our 2nd entry...
Here we go..
Most people considered nuclear as a very hazardous thing as they always relate it to nuclear bombs that were dropped in Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Even some of our friends gave us negative feedback at our facebook accounts about using nuclear to generate electricity because they refer it to Chernobyl and Three Mile Island incident. Maybe some of them did not realize that time has moved forward and our technology has improved as time goes on??

NUCLEAR POWER FOR ALL



 Are you ready Malaysians???

27 Sept Class Summary


8.15 AM, August 6, 1945 and 11.01 AM, August 9, 1945. These are the times when “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” were dropped and mother Earth loses her children, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fact 1: Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost.

Fact 2: Mankind is to blame.

Nuclear technology, like any other technology comes from ideas generated by human brains. How these brains decide of its usage is what determines which path it’s going to undertake. History remains, but not forever the same and instead of fearing, let us now benefit from it.
Electricity generated from a nuclear power plant can be used for so many goods. From ensuring a life-support machine operates in keeping an old life, to medical equipments needed in welcoming the birth of new ones.

So how does nuclear technology works?

Nuclear Related Event

Do you remember about the incident in Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine? The bombing of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I'm sure many of us remember about this event and some don't. Well let refresh your mind.
