Razarc Energy Mission Statement

REI, better known as Recreational Equipment is a company that sells sporting goods, outdoor gear and apparel. The company was founded in 1938 by Mary Lloyd Anderson, and has been a co-op since the beginning. Being a co-op has allowed REI to focus on the long-term interests of not just themselves, but their members and customers as well. (rei.com overview, 2018) The company operates 154 stores in 36 states in America, but also receives income from purchases made via magazine and online.

Opening/Attention: Good afternoon everyone! My name is William. Today, I am going to talk about Canada should use more nuclear energy. Before I start to talk about it, I want to ask few questions.

Petro-Canada’s Impact on the Canadian Economy Throughout the 1970s, economic relationships and dynamics worldwide in the energy economy experienced rapid changes, resulting in the incredibly volatile and unstable oil price climate. The issue with energy became a widely debated topic between Trudeau’s liberal government and its critics. During these years, the petroleum industry in Canada was dominated by foreign control, which was mostly American.

The general attitude by the public towards nuclear reactors is that of fear or disapproval simply due to its name or the rumors. Nuclear reactors are merely devices that sustain chain reactions, in which only one of the emitted neutrons hits another nucleus to create fission. Though nuclear reactors cannot become a weapon or a bomb, some of the dangers relate to our lives to the extent that we may need to seek alternatives, as demonstrated by the reactors in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Nuclear reactors operate on chain reaction, which does not grow due to neutron multiplications of 1. They depend on slow neutrons—in explosion, they are only as powerful as TNT.

Nucor is one of the largest producer of steel within the United States. The corporation exceeds the production capacity for steel by over 27 million ton. Nucor was founded in 1905 by Ransom E. Olds. After leaving his original company Oldsmobile due to financial complications, Ransom developed the REO Motor Company which later evolved into the Nuclear Corporation of America. Due to the end of Korean War, REO began to struggle which developed the merging of assets in return diminishing REO Motor Company and forming the Nuclear Corporation of America.

Nuclear Energy IS Australia’s Future Introduction: I wholeheartedly believe that Nuclear Energy will play an inevitably central role as a reliable energy source in Australia’s future. Australia must invest in Nuclear energy because coal and oil are becoming scarce, requires less fuel and is eco-friendly. Australia is blessed with the world’s largest known uranium resources (a bountiful 38% according to Professor Mary O’Kane NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer). ANSTO (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) reports: ‘No country of Australia’s economic size or larger is without nuclear power’.

Nuclear fission can be similar to nuclear fusion for example they both release heat energy. However, in nuclear fusion: • two nuclei must join together • Extremely high temperatures are needed. To develop further: Nuclear fusion is the joining of smaller nuclei to make larger ones. For example; Deuterium and Tritium form to make a bigger and heavier nucleus and Helium releases a lot of energy. Nuclear fusion also happens in stars..

In this diagram, a neutron is absorbed by a uranium-235 nucleus, as a result, it turns of a small period of time to an excited uranium-236 nucleus, with the excitation energy provided by the kinetic energy of the neutron plus the forces that bind to the neutron. The uranium-236 then splits into two, smaller, lighter, fast-moving elements (these are known as fission products) and releases three free neutrons as well as gamma rays. Fusion and fission are nuclear reactions. Fusion is the binding of two atoms to produce a heavier atom while fission is splitting of an atom. Fusion releases more energy than fission and powers the stars.

Nuclear energy is one of the several alternative energy sources that have been introduced ever since. Nuclear energy’s various advantages entice many countries to start practicing it. One must consider the amount of energy generated by nuclear fuels, as they are highly-concentrated energy sources. Small uranium pellets, which are the most common form of fuel in generating nuclear energy, can generate as much electricity as a trainload full of coal does. In addition, nuclear power plants do not produce green house gases as byproducts.

Topic: Nuclear Energy is better then Solar Energy General Purpose: To persuade Specific Purpose: I hope after my speech, the class will be able to look at nuclear and solar energy in a different light. Introduction Attention Getter When I say the word solar energy, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? I bet words like renewable energy, environmentally friendly and no pollution comes to mind. Now when I say the nuclear, what pops into your head?

Nuclear energy is something that we`ve all heard about. It carries risk and potential. When an atom (Uranium and Plutonium in nuclear power plants) is bombarded by neutrons, it can be split, causing fission. This fission releases more neutrons, which causes a chain reaction. Nuclear power plants use this use the heat that is created by fission to heat water that spins their turbines (“Nuclear Energy”).

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two very different types of nuclear reactions that result in release or absorption of energy. Nuclear fusion is the reaction in which two or more smaller/lighter nuclei are combined together under extremely high pressure and temperatures to form one heavier and bigger nucleus of a new element with a higher atomic number. A significant example of where nuclear fusion occurs is in stars. Stars are fuelled by the atomic reactions of nuclear fusion and the collisions release massive amounts of energy which make the stars so hot and shine so brightly. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion in its core and it converts 620 million metric tons of hydrogen into helium every second.

Most of the energy is formed by heat when the fission reaction is controlled within a nuclear reactor. Neutron moderation and neutron absorption are the two steps for the control of fission in a nuclear

Nuclear fission splits atoms, providing the huge burst of energy necessary to produce power. Nuclear fission occurs when a neutron strikes a large, unstable nucleus and the nucleus breaks down into 2 different atomic nuclei, more neutrons, and a large burst of energy. (Brünglinghaus) These stray neutrons then hit more unstable nuclei and the reactions continue, causing a chain reaction to occur. The enriched uranium fuel is highly unstable.

Nuclear Power is a very controversial topic, but it is also something that should be discussed. Numerous opinions, both pro and con, have been expressed through the Internet and multiple media sources. It is extremely important that people can express their personal opinions. Based on my review of scientific sources and personal opinions I have determined there are many meaningful reasons why I am for nuclear power. In this essay I will explain why I believe nuclear power is an important power source for our nation.
