WEAK NUCLEAR FORCE
The weak nuclear force (or just the weak force, or weak interaction) acts inside of individual nucleons, which means that it is even shorter ranged than the strong force.It is the force that allows protons to turn into neutrons and vice versa through beta decay.This keeps the right balance of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.The weak force is very important in the nuclear fusion that happensDISCOUNTING

Specific power or power-to-weight ratio is a measure of performance for an engine in a vehicle or in a power plant. It is defined as the power output by it divided by its mass, typically in units of W/kg or hp/lb. This value allows for a clear metric of the power that is independent of the vehicle or power plant's size: . Turbines, like a gas turbine in a plane, typically have the largest SIMPLE CYCLE GAS PLANT Simple cycle gas plants are a type of natural gas power plant which operate by propelling hot gas through a turbine, in order to generate electricity.They differ from combined cycle gas plants because their waste heat is not supplied to another external heat engine, so they are only used to meet peaking power needs on the electrical grid.These turbines have a high specific power, which means SUPERCRITICAL COAL PLANT Supercritical coal plants are a type of coal-fired power plant used in more modern designs.

The world population refers to the entire number of people of all ages, living in all countries throughout the world. The world population is growing, and in 2020 is approximately 7.8 billion people. The population is growing slowly in OECD countries, which tend to be the wealthy countries that use a great deal of energy.Countries that are not part of OECD (non-OECD countries) have populations ENERGY DENSITY OF STORAGE DEVICES Energy density of storage devices is of great consideration when deciding which storage device to use for a given scenario. If a storage device has a larger energy density than another, this means that it can be smaller and/or weigh less while containing the same amount of energy.Considering this, small technology devices like cell phones would want a battery with a high energy density, since OVERNIGHT COST OF CAPITAL When comparing the cost of building different types of electrical plants, firms will use various methods.For quick comparisons, firms will look at what the cost of building a plant overnight would be or the overnight cost of capital. This is a hypothetical scenario because a plant cannot be constructed in one night, but it evaluates the cost of a plant if it were built right away, with current BOTTOM ASH - ENERGY EDUCATION Bottom ash is the coarse, granular, incombustible by-product of coal combustion that is collected from the bottom of furnaces. Most bottom ash is produced at coal-fired power plants. Below is a comparison of fly ash and bottom ash, to show the size difference of the particles and the difference in texture. BTU/HOUR - ENERGY EDUCATION BTU/hour is aunit of power, measuring energy per unit time, equal to 1 BTU being output in an hour. Although the watt is the largely accepted unit for power in places that use the SI system, the BTU/hour measure is still commonly used to describe the power output of many industrial applications including steam generators, home heating (like furnaces), and air conditioning.

PSIG - ENERGY EDUCATION Pounds per square in gauge, or psig, is a measure of pressure—but only a measurement of gauge pressure.This means that it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure. The unit to measure psig is psi.. In contrast to psig, psia is pounds per square inch absolute and it measures the absolute pressure, which is gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.

The natural carbon cycle is the flow of carbon naturally throughout across the globe in various forms, such as carbon dioxide or methane.This carbon moves through the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere, and lithosphere.The natural carbon cycle is kept very nearly in balanceURANIUM ENRICHMENT
Uranium enrichment is a process that is necessary to create an effective nuclear fuel out of mined uranium by increasing the percentage of uranium-235 which undergoes fission with thermal neutrons.Although many reactors require enriched uranium fuel, the Canadian-designed CANDU, the British Magnox reactor and the proposed Molten salt reactor can use natural uranium as their fuel. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF OIL SANDS The environmental impact of the oil sands is an issue that has been extremely divisive. As with the extraction and use of any fossil fuel, negative environmental effects arise as a result of the extraction, upgrading, and processing of bitumen from the oil sands. Although some steps are being taken to reduce the severity of these impacts - such as reclamation - there are still associated NEGATIVE CLIMATE FEEDBACK Negative climate feedback is any process where climate feedback decreases the severity of some initial change. Some initial change causes a secondary change that reduces the effect of the initial change. This feedback keeps the climate system stable. It is generally discussed in the context of climate change and is one particular type of negative feedback.

VOLTAGE - ENERGY EDUCATION Voltage is often used as a shorthand term for voltage difference, which is another name for potential difference.Voltage measures the energy that a charge will get if it moves between two points in space. The unit for voltage is the volt (V) and 1 Volt = 1 J/C.. Outlets and batteries both have voltages that are associated with them.

Continuing to use carbon and other emission intensive energy sources has much less value in the future due to the large social cost it imposes through RBMK - ENERGY EDUCATION RBMK is a Soviet-designed nuclear reactor that uses enriched uranium as its fuel. It is a rather unusual design as it uses graphite as its moderator, and was designed for plutonium production—but was also used extensively for electrical generation.The combination of graphite as a moderator and light water as coolant is unique to this reactor as no other reactors in the world use both. FLARING - ENERGY EDUCATION The flaring of natural gas results in the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the same way that burning natural gas as a fuel would. However, one of the main concerns with using flaring is that there is no real use or benefit other than keeping people and equipment safe. Although flaring is widely used, flaring rarely leads to a significant portion of a countries greenhouse gas ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF OIL SANDS The environmental impact of the oil sands is an issue that has been extremely divisive. As with the extraction and use of any fossil fuel, negative environmental effects arise as a result of the extraction, upgrading, and processing of bitumen from the oil sands. Although some steps are being taken to reduce the severity of these impacts - such as reclamation - there are still associated INTERMITTENT ELECTRICITY Intermittent electricity is electrical energy that is not continuously available due to external factors that cannot be controlled, produced by electricity generating sources that vary in their conditions on a fairly short time scale. Sources of intermittent electricity include solar power, wind power, tidal power, and wave power. Although solar and tidal power are fairly predictable (length NATURAL GAS POWER PLANT Natural gas power plants generate electricity by burning natural gas as their fuel.There are many types of natural gas power plants which all generate electricity, but serve different purposes. All natural gas plants use a gas turbine; natural gas is added, along with a stream of air, which combusts and expands through this turbine causing a generator to spin a magnet, making electricity.SOURCE ROCK
Source rocks are rocks that contain sufficient organic material to create hydrocarbons when subjected to heat and pressure over time. Source rocks are usually shales or limestones (sedimentary rocks). To be a productive source rock, the rock needs time to mature (time to form the oil and/or gas) and the hydrocarbons need to be able to migrate to a reservoir or seep. DISPATCHABLE SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY A dispatchable source of electricity refers to an electrical power system, such as a power plant, that can be turned on or off; in other words they can adjust their power output supplied to the electrical grid on demand. Most conventional power sources such as coal or nuclear power plants are dispatchable in order to meet the always changing electricity demands of the population.CARBON FLUX
A carbon flux is the amount of carbon exchanged between Earth's carbon pools - the oceans, atmosphere, land, and living things - and is typically measured in units of gigatonnes of carbon per year (GtC/yr). A gigatonne is a tremendous amount of mass, roughly twice the mass of all humans on Earth combined, or the mass of about 200 million elephants!. These carbon pools contain enormous MERCAPTAN - ENERGY EDUCATION Mercaptan, also known as methanethiol is a foul-smelling gas that is added to natural gas.

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are a Generation IV nuclear reactor that use molten salts (high temperature liquid salts) as their nuclear fuel in place of the conventional solid fuels used in the world's current reactors. The use of fluids allows for it to act both as their fuel (producing the heat) and coolant (transferring the heat).. These reactors have been designed in many different waysLIGHT WATER
Light water is simply ordinary water that does not contain large amounts of deuterium, making it distinct from heavy water. Although this water does contain small numbers of heavy water molecules, it isn't enough to make any significant changes in its properties.Light water plays an important role in the generation of electricity from nuclear energy, as it can serve both as a moderator and aMCKELVEY BOX

Continuing to use carbon and other emission intensive energy sources has much less value in the future due to the large social cost it imposes through CLIMATE CHANGE CONSEQUENCES ON RAINFORESTS Climate change has and continues to have a massive impact on Earth’s rainforests.Whether it’s North America’s western temperate rain forests or the tropical rainforests in South America and beyond, climate change affects these areas negatively. Climate scientists in Canada have been monitoring the rainforests over the last few decades to analyze the changes if any, occurring to the west NATURAL GAS POWER PLANT OVERNIGHT COST OF CAPITAL When comparing the cost of building different types of electrical plants, firms will use various methods.For quick comparisons, firms will look at what the cost of building a plant overnight would be or the overnight cost of capital. This is a hypothetical scenario because a plant cannot be constructed in one night, but it evaluates the cost of a plant if it were built right away, with current BOTTOM ASH - ENERGY EDUCATIONSEE MORE ON ENERGYEDUCATION.CALIGHT WATER
Light water is simply ordinary water that does not contain large amounts of deuterium, making it distinct from heavy water. Although this water does contain small numbers of heavy water molecules, it isn't enough to make any significant changes in its properties.Light water plays an important role in the generation of electricity from nuclear energy, as it can serve both as a moderator and aPOLLUTION VS WASTE
The distinction between pollution vs waste is subtle. However, there are ways to look at each to distinguish between the two. First, a quick look at the definitions: Waste: substances which are the by-products of a process.Essentially, any unwanted products made in the process of making a wanted, intentional product. BTU/HOUR - ENERGY EDUCATION BTU/hour is aunit of power, measuring energy per unit time, equal to 1 BTU being output in an hour. Although the watt is the largely accepted unit for power in places that use the SI system, the BTU/hour measure is still commonly used to describe the power output of many industrial applications including steam generators, home heating (like furnaces), and air conditioning. MERCAPTAN - ENERGY EDUCATION Mercaptan, also known as methanethiol is a foul-smelling gas that is added to natural gas.Since natural gas is colourless and odourless, mercaptan acts as an odorant to make it easier to detect. It is added as a safety measure to ensure that natural gas leaks do not goundetected.

SIMPLE CYCLE GAS PLANT Simple cycle gas plants are a type of natural gas power plant which operate by propelling hot gas through a turbine, in order to generate electricity.They differ from combined cycle gas plants because their waste heat is not supplied to another external heat engine, so they are only used to meet peaking power needs on the electrical grid.These turbines have a high specific power, which means NATURAL GAS POWER PLANT Natural gas power plants generate electricity by burning natural gas as their fuel.There are many types of natural gas power plants which all generate electricity, but serve different purposes. All natural gas plants use a gas turbine; natural gas is added, along with a stream of air, which combusts and expands through this turbine causing a generator to spin a magnet, making electricity. INTERMITTENT ELECTRICITY Intermittent electricity is electrical energy that is not continuously available due to external factors that cannot be controlled, produced by electricity generating sources that vary in their conditions on a fairly short time scale. Sources of intermittent electricity include solar power, wind power, tidal power, and wave power. Although solar and tidal power are fairly predictable (length NATURAL CARBON CYCLE This page discusses the Earth's natural cycle of carbon - to read about human effects on this cycle click here. The natural carbon cycle is the flow of carbon naturally throughout across the globe in various forms, such as carbon dioxide or methane.This carbon moves through the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere, and lithosphere.The natural carbon cycle is kept very nearly in balanceDEFORESTATION
Deforestation is the temporary or permanent removal of large expanses of forest for agriculture or other uses. Harvesting materials like timber and fuelwood by chopping down forests yields many economic benefits, however it comes along with many harmful environmental impacts.. Forests provide many ecological services such as air and water purification, storage of anthropogenic carbon, the GEAR - ENERGY EDUCATION A gear (also called a cogwheel) is a type of simple machine that is used to manipulate the magnitude or direction of a force.Gears are used in combination and are linked together by their teeth - referred to as cogs - in order to form a "gear train".These gear trains are useful for transferring energy from one part of a system to another. Systems that utilize gears and gear trains includeURANIUM ENRICHMENT
Uranium enrichment is a process that is necessary to create an effective nuclear fuel out of mined uranium by increasing the percentage of uranium-235 which undergoes fission with thermal neutrons.Although many reactors require enriched uranium fuel, the Canadian-designed CANDU, the British Magnox reactor and the proposed Molten salt reactor can use natural uranium as their fuel. CARBON TAX - ENERGY EDUCATION A carbon tax is a tax levied on the carbon content in fossil fuels.Even though the tax is designed to address the problem caused by the CO 2 emissions, the tax is based on the carbon content because almost all of the carbon is converted into CO 2 from the combustion process. A carbon tax is designed to have the price of a fuel reflect the true cost.The tax tries to takes into account anyDRIVE SHAFT
The drive shaft (also called propeller shaft or prop shaft) is a component of the drive train in a vehicle, with the purpose of delivering torque from the transmission to the differential, which then transmits this torque to the wheels in order to move the vehicle. The drive shaft is primarily used to transfer torque between components that are separated by a distance, since differentENERGY EDUCATION
