Initial Questions

  1. How can you acquire energy from forming chemical bonds within the nucleus without using radioactive (and highly dangerous) elements?
  2. Is there any way to acquire energy by breaking and reforming the bonds between gluons and quarks in any stable, common element such as carbon?
  3. How could humans work at nuclear power facilities without being exposed to harmful radiation?
  4. Could the proton-proton reaction realistically be manipulated to produce usable energy in nuclear power plants?
  5. What current projects are underway to further develop nuclear technology?
