How is effective nuclear charge related to the electron affinity of oxygen and fluorine?
Q. (more than one answer is possible) The fluorine has a larger effective nuclear charge than oxygen. The electron affinity becomes more exothermic (negative) as the effective nuclear charge increases. The electron affinity becomes more endothermic (positive) as the effective nuclear charge increases. The fluorine has a less exothermic electron affinity than oxygen. The fluorine has a more exothermic electron affinity than oxygen.

How much greenhouse gases does Nuclear Power produce?
Q. People say that Nuclear Power is good for the enevironment because it doesn't produce lots of C02. So how much does it produce? And is it really better than the other non-renewable resources?
Asked by Shinade - Sun Jan 20 07:17:27 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Nuclear power uses the Fission of uranium atoms to heat and boil water. Like coal being burnt to boil the water. In itself, the fission doesn't produce greenhouse gases. However greenhouse gases are produced as the uranium is mined and transported. Additionally nuclear waste is produced which may be more damaging to the environment the greenhouse gases as it takes longer to leave.

A. The Nuclear plants that are proposed for construction in the US in the next 1-10 years will cost between 5-7 billion dollars per reactor, depending on which design. In the past, they were built for as little as 300 million dollars. * Provisional contracts for two 1,117 MWe AP1000 reactors at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Generating Station have estimated final costs of approximately $4.9 billion per reactor. [1] * On April 9, 2008, Georgia Power Company reached a contract agreement for two AP1000 reactors to be built at Vogtle, at an estimated final cost of $14 billion. [2] The profit on a running reactor is about $1 million dollars a day, the cost is 5.93 cents per kWh, and includes Uranium for fuel, insurance, waste disposal,… [cont.]
