S&T Flashcards
Advanced modular reactors(Gen-4)
made in factory and transporter.
SMR-300gw
less waste(might even burn waste)
less temp/pr.
Fuel: HALEU(High assay low enriched U-235)→
(5-20%), can be used with Thorium in PHWR(pr. heavy wtr reactor)
Einstein ring
ring of light around dark matter and galaxies
acts as a gravitational lens
India energy imports
LNG import and import dependency inc.
further trade deficit gap widened
HALEU reactors
High assay low enriched uranium can be used with Thorium in (pressured heavy water reactors)
Can be used in place of Plutonium-Uranium without changing reactors design
Chaste instrument
In Chandrayan for temp. measure
dry/wet-bulb temperature
WET:
How much the air can cool due to evaporation (Or the max temp. humans can survive i.e.35C).
permafrost thaw
Permafrost = >2ys ice on land, contains organic carbon which if ice melted, is released and is bad for cc.
Furthermore, lower elevation and hotter climate are experience more cc than others.
sea level rise
thermal expansion:50%
glacier/ice cap melt:50%
Thorium in India
Most thorium(monazite ore) in east coast till Malabar coast.
saturn moon
titan and enceladus
Bluewashing
Greenwashing like except for in terms of social and eco. responsibility
endosymbiont theory
Nucleus/Mitochondria/
Chloroplast/Nitroplast have their own DNA.
The theory states that coz they evolved from a bacteria(ricket and cyano) which was earlier in symbiotic relation with eukaryotic cells
GM Mustard(DMH-11)
Has Barnase-Barstar Sys.
(1plant is made sterile and then fretilized with 2nd plant to make it Barstar gene.)
What gives sea it’s smell?
DMS(di-methyl sulfide), from declomposing dead algae.
CC case what in rice
Arsenic rising due to temperature rise.
