=**Welcome to the Chem 22 nuclear project Wiki!**=

The ability to harness nuclear power, in nuclear power plants and nuclear bombs, has changed the world forever. The tremendous energy released by fission and fusion reactions, and the dangers that accompany the technology, have captured the popular imagination as few technological advances ever have. I'm hoping that the videos we watched in class will get you interested in nuclear technology, and will inspire you to find out more. You will need to come up with a research question to answer, and that's where this Wiki comes in.

I've started you off with four general categories:
 * Nuclear Plant Safety/Security
 * Environmental Concerns
 * How nuclear plants and nuclear bombs work
 * Ethics of Scientific Research

Click on the Research Questions link on the left for your class (tan has lab day 4, red has lab day 5). Type an idea for a research project in the category that fits best. If your question doesn't fit any of the categories, please feel free to add another category.
