Nuclear power in IndiaNuclear power is the fifth-largest source of electricity in India after coal, gas, hydroelectricity and wind power. , India has 22 nuclear reactors in operation in 8 nuclear power plants, with a total installed capacity of 7,380 MW. Nuclear power produced a total of 43 TWh in 2020–21, contributing 3.11% of total power generation in India (1,382 TWh). 10 more reactors are under construction with a combined generation capacity of 8,000 MW. In October 2010, India drew up a plan to reach a nuclear power capacity of 63 GW in 2032.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbingMechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) refers to the installation of services which provide a comfortable space for the building occupants. In residential and commercial buildings, these elements are often designed by a specialized MEP engineering firms. The part of Mechanical in the overall MEP system is almost 70% of the total work. MEP's design is important for planning, decision-making, accurate documentation, performance- and cost-estimation, construction, and operating/maintaining the resulting facilities.
Fermi 1Fermi 1 was the United States' only demonstration-scale breeder reactor, built during the 1950s at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station on the western shore of Lake Erie south of Detroit, Michigan. It used the sodium-cooled fast reactor cycle, in which liquid sodium metal is used as the primary coolant instead of more typical nuclear reactor designs which are cooled with water. Sodium cooling allows for a more compact core with surplus neutrons, which are used to produce more fission fuel by converting a surrounding "blanket" of 238U into 239Pu which can be fed back into a reactor.
Fusion froidevignette|redresse=1.3|Schéma d'un calorimètre utilisé à l'institut de la nouvelle énergie à base d'hydrogène au Japon. « Fusion froide » est une expression médiatique qui désigne des réactions supposées nucléaires à température et pression ambiantes. La plus connue est celle qui semble être une fusion nucléaire réalisée selon des techniques dérivées d'une expérience réalisée par Martin Fleischmann et Stanley Pons en mars 1989. Cette expérience se caractérisait par un dégagement de chaleur non explicable par la quantité d'énergie électrique reçue (faisant fondre l'électrode).
Electrodesiccation and curettageElectrodesiccation and curettage (EDC, ED & C, or ED+C) is a medical procedure commonly performed by dermatologists, surgeons and general practitioners for the treatment of basal cell cancers and squamous cell cancers of the skin. It provides desiccation, coagulation/cauterization, and curettage to remove lesions from the skin. A round dull instrument (curette) of varying sizes (1 mm to 6 mm) is used to scrape off the cancer down to the dermis. The scraping is then paused while an electrosurgical device like a hyfrecator is used next.
Pensée systémiqueLa pensée systémique est une façon d'aborder la réalité. Elle a émergé au , par opposition à la pensée « réductionniste-mécaniste » héritée de philosophes de la Révolution scientifique du , tels que René Descartes, Francis Bacon et Isaac Newton. La pensée systémique ne nie pas la rationalité scientifique, mais estime qu'elle n'offre pas assez de paramètres au développement humain, et qu'elle devrait donc être élaborée conjointement avec la subjectivité des arts et de diverses traditions spirituelles.
