Nuclear scientist Interview Questions And Answers

You can trust me on any task in particular I am very sincere about the work assigned to me. And IIT Kanpur being an elite organisation in field of nuclear science I would be for me a silver opportunity to add a crown for this organization.

Sincerity and ability to guide a team and my thirst for knowing new things are my greatest strengths.

Yes. It was during my b. Tech 3rd year again. When I was the coordinaror of music team and we had to perform in a given time slot. But at the final moment we got to know that we are getting a very less time. Then I had to convert a solo performance into a groul performance And we distributed the parts on the spot. The choros and the interlude and other things and we performed that song on stage and we did it in time with loss of some performances but everyone performed in that single song.

I am very enthusiastic about having an specialization in this field and the research that I would carryout here. I am sincere and hard working and when given a tast I put my back into it.

Its challenging. And it has a vast scope at least for the next 50 years. Because this is the branch of science where advancement in the field of science is directly affecting the common people. Electricity is the basic need of every one. And even if we consider the alarming rate of global warming it is very crucial that we develop our self towards nuclear technology.

Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity or speed of a body moving along a circular path.

Quantum tunnelling is the process where the particle passes through an obstruction or barrier to reach at another end. It is referred as tunnelling as the particle as “dug” out the way through the potential barrier.

In the space, light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per second and sunlight takes about 8 min and 19 sec to reach the surface of the earth.

Many nuclear plants are being built, they’re just not being built in the United States. China, India, and other developing countries, which need to keep up with massive growth in energy demand as they develop, are building nuclear plants as fast as they can. The high up-front costs of building nuclear plants and the uncertainty about how fast energy demand would grow in rich countries populated with high-energy consumers resulted in the United States and other developed countries turning away from nuclear. However, President Obama recently approved loan guarantees for two new reactors in Georgia and South Carolina and development funding for new reactor designs that are smaller and cheaper to build.

Al Qaeda has repeated expressed its intent to launch nuclear attacks on American soil. Pakistan’s nuclear facilities have been attacked three times since 2007. South Africa’s Pelindaba nuclear site was breached by gunman in 2007. According to Warren Buffet, concerned over his major stake in the insurance industry, a nuclear terrorist strike is matter not if, but when: “We’re going to have something in the way of a major nuclear [terrorist] event in this country. It will happen. Whether it will happen in 10 years or 10 minutes, or 50 years … it’s virtually a certainty.” Do we want to give terrorist elements–or even a “lone wolf” — thousands of new sources of radioactive material and the ability to kill thousands of people with one successful attack?

Providing universal access to abundant, cheap clean energy is one of the best population growth strategies we have. Consuming more energy allows people to live wealthier, healthier, and longer lives, which translates into lower population growth. As people become wealthier and more economically secure, they have fewer children. This is why leading advocates for human development and environmental sustainability, like Bill Gates and Jeffrey Sachs,4 strongly support the development and deployment of nuclear energy.

The Principles of Conduct reflect the special role that the IAEA occupies in the development and codification of best practices applicable to the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Many of the conventions, norms, and standards cited the Principles originated with the IAEA.

Several of the expert advisers to the Principles have served in various capacities at the IAEA or lead IAEA committees tasked with the further advancement of best practices for nuclear power, and many of the vendors’ representatives have also interacted with the Agency in various capacities. But this is not an IAEA initiative, although it is intended to complement work done by the IAEA. In some areas it addresses issues that lie outside the IAEA competence or mandate or for which the IAEA has yet to put forward clear norms.

Much of the difference stems from the fact the IAEA is an international organization whereas the Principles are a private-sector initiative. The IAEA’s senior leadership was briefed regularly about the Principles in the course of their development, but the Principles themselves have been developed without governmental or IAEA oversight. The vendors will continue to look to the IAEA in the future as a trusted source of best practices applicable to some aspects of nuclear energy, and will discuss updating the POC in light of IAEA actions.

This is mass-energy lesion.

Cadmium rods are provided in nuclear reactors because when we start nuclear reactor then more energy is required for start the reactor , we can not start nuclear reactor with less energy, the rod is used specially for stopping contact of newtron particles with the system.

It is a nuclear reaction in which two nuclei combine to form a larger (with nearly combined mass) nuclei.

It releases lot of energy. Sun and stars release energy in this fashion.

ABC program is not only an authentic program. On nuclear engineering in our country but its in the whole of Asia. And I presume that the coming 30 years are going to witness a huge development in the field of nuclear technology. And Global guideline is playing a major role is making engineers in this field.

Nuclear Energy can be utilised in a constructive manner as well as in destructive manner so it is very important to handle this dangerous technology very well. So are safety measure and rules and procedures which keep this under check. With out proper safety of the man power and the equipment used in the technology it is not possible to harness the positive side of the nucLear energy. Fukushima disaster in japan in 2011 is a benchmark to remind us that nuclear technology should be handled with very care which is only possible by setting us certain procedures and safety rules.

Yes, I have worked with a team. My b. Tech final year project was on TL circuits which was done as a part of 3 member team. Also as an co-curricular activity I coordinated music team of my college.

Yes I think so. I try to keep myself busy with one task and what is to be done next keeps going in my mind.

Yes, electron having an energy higher than the ordinary atomic electron may come out of the nucleus due to beta decay process. A negative beta is identical to an electron in all respect except with difference in kinetic energy.

Due to impact of planets, rocks are escape in the space and became asteroid. in some case the gasieous material and vepour produced in the supernova are coegulated in the space and form asteroid.

No. All of the current and aspiring vendors exporting nuclear power plants at the time the Principles initiative began agreed to participate in the drafting process.

It’s easy to achieve high rates of growth when you start from a tiny amount of installed wind and solar. But the fact remains that solar generated just 0.18 percent of electricity in the United States, and wind 3.5 percent, in 2012.13 This was after more than $50 billion in renewable electricity subsidies over the past three decades. Even Germany, which since 2000 has committed over $130 billion to solar photovoltaics (PV) in the form of above-market-price 20-year feed-in tariff contracts,14 only gets 5 percent of its annual electricity from solar.

Another unsolved problem is how to safely transport nuclear material across the country. During the decades long debate over storing the nation’s radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain, transportation experts estimated that waste disposal from existing nuclear plants would require 1 truck, every 4 hours, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year for 38 years. They estimated that over the same period there would be 130 truck and 440 rail accidents. Each transport container heading to Yucca would hold enough radiation to create a devastating dirty bomb. Shipments would need to travel through 43 states, within one half mile of the homes of tens of millions of people, and through more than 100 of America’s largest cities. Barge shipments would move through 17 port cities on the Atlantic seaboard and through the drinking water of the Great Lakes via Lake Michigan. Do we want to build new nuclear power plants when we have yet to figure out a safe way to transport radioactive material across the country?

Many new reactor designs feature fuels that stop reacting when temperatures rise too high, fuel cladding that cannot melt, and coolants that can cool the reactor with no human or mechanical intervention even if there is a total loss of power. These features make meltdown and serious accidents virtually impossible.
