LiDAR is an acronym of Light Detection and Ranging How does LiDAR work? LiDAR works in a similar way to Radar and Sonar yet uses light waves from a laser, instead of radio or sound waves. A LiDAR system calculates how long it takes for the light to hit an object or surface and reflect back to the scanner.
Radiation. The principal risks associated with nuclear power arise from health effects of radiation. This radiation consists of subatomic particles traveling at or near the velocity of light---186,000 miles per second.ining uranium to fuel nuclear power plants leaves mill tailings, the residues from chemical processing of the ore, which lead to radon exposures to the public. However, these effects are grossly over-compensated by the fact that mining uranium out of the ground reduces future radon exposures.
Nuclear energy is our most concentrated form of energy. In other words, we get the most useable energy from smaller amounts of nuclear energy sources. Examples of Nuclear Energy: 1. A fission reaction at a nuclear power plant provides enough energy to give electricity to large cities.2. The fusion reaction in the sun provides our planet with all of the energy it needs for living organisms to survive. 3. An uncontrolled fission reaction provides the destructive force of a nuclear bomb.uclear energy is energy that is stored within the nucleus of atoms. The only way for this energy to be released is through the splitting of or joining of atomic nuclei.
