Atoms for Peace

"Atoms for Peace" was the title of a speech delivered by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower to the UN General Assembly in New York City on December 8, 1953.

See SAFARI-1 and Atoms for Peace

Enriched uranium

Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 (written 235U) has been increased through the process of isotope separation.

See SAFARI-1 and Enriched uranium

Isotopes of molybdenum

Molybdenum (42Mo) has 39 known isotopes, ranging in atomic mass from 81 to 119, as well as four metastable nuclear isomers.

See SAFARI-1 and Isotopes of molybdenum

North West (South African province)

North West (Bokone Bophirima; Noord-Wes) is a province of South Africa.

See SAFARI-1 and North West (South African province)

Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine, or nucleology, is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

See SAFARI-1 and Nuclear medicine

Nuclear physics

Nuclear physics is the field of physics that studies atomic nuclei and their constituents and interactions, in addition to the study of other forms of nuclear matter.

See SAFARI-1 and Nuclear physics

Nuclear Threat Initiative

The Nuclear Threat Initiative, generally referred to as NTI, is a non-profit organization located in Washington, D.C. The American foreign policy think tank was founded in 2001 by former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and philanthropist Ted Turner and describes itself as a "nonprofit, nonpartisan global security organization focused on reducing nuclear and biological threats imperiling humanity." NTI has four policy programs: the Global Nuclear Policy Program, Nuclear Materials Security, Scientific and Technical Affairs, and Global Biological Policy and Programs (stylized as NTI | bio).

See SAFARI-1 and Nuclear Threat Initiative

Pelindaba

Pelindaba ("Pelile Ndaba", Zulu for "end of story" or "the conclusion") is South Africa's main nuclear research centre, run by the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation. SAFARI-1 and Pelindaba are Buildings and structures in North West (South African province), nuclear technology in South Africa, research in South Africa and south African nuclear sites.

See SAFARI-1 and Pelindaba

Radionuclide

A radionuclide (radioactive nuclide, radioisotope or radioactive isotope) is a nuclide that has excess numbers of either neutrons or protons, giving it excess nuclear energy, and making it unstable.

See SAFARI-1 and Radionuclide

Radiopharmacology

Radiopharmacology is radiochemistry applied to medicine and thus the pharmacology of radiopharmaceuticals (medicinal radiocompounds, that is, pharmaceutical drugs that are radioactive).

See SAFARI-1 and Radiopharmacology

Research reactor

Research reactors are nuclear fission-based nuclear reactors that serve primarily as a neutron source. SAFARI-1 and Research reactor are nuclear research reactors.

See SAFARI-1 and Research reactor

South Africa

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the southernmost country in Africa.

See SAFARI-1 and South Africa

South Africa and weapons of mass destruction

From the 1960s to the 1990s, South Africa pursued research into weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons under the apartheid government.

South African Nuclear Energy Corporation

The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) was established as a public company by the Republic of South Africa Nuclear Energy Act in and is wholly owned by the State. The name is correctly indicated above, although the sequence of letters in the acronym may be taken as suggesting that the name should be the "Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa".

Swimming pool reactor

NC State's PULSTAR Reactor is a 1 MW pool-type research reactor with 4% enriched, pin-type fuel consisting of '''UO2''' pellets in zircaloy cladding.NC State's Pulstar Nuclear Reactor. A swimming pool reactor, also called an open pool reactor, is a type of nuclear reactor that has a core (consisting of the fuel elements and the control rods) immersed in an open pool usually of water.

See SAFARI-1 and Swimming pool reactor

Valindaba

The Valindaba site, also known as Pelindaba East or Y-plant, was an experimental uranium enrichment plant, located 35 km west of Pretoria, Gauteng province, South Africa. SAFARI-1 and Valindaba are nuclear technology in South Africa and south African nuclear sites.

See SAFARI-1 and Valindaba

Watt

The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3.

See SAFARI-1 and Watt
