== Initial Questions ==

+

1. How can you acquire energy from breaking chemical bonds within the nucleus without using radioactive (and highly dangerous) elements?

+

2. Is there any way to acquire energy by breaking 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?
