29
Q

Nuclear Power History

The first nuclear powered surface ship

A

the USS Long Beach.

30
Q

Nuclear Radiation and Contamination

Radiation:

A

Energy released from radioactive material, in the form of particles or waves

31
Q

Nuclear Power History

Why do we have nuclear powered ships?

A

Nuclear powered ships do not have to make stops for fuel, therefore the ship can stay out to sea for a longer period of time.

32
Q

Nuclear Power History

Is it safe to be around a nuclear reactor?

A

Yes. There are many precautions in place to ensure crew safety. You would get more radiation exposure from working on the flight deck (from Cosmic radiation) than from working in Reactor Department.

Q

Nuclear Radiation and Contamination

Contamination:

A

Particles of radioactive material

39
Q
