However, the ethics of nuclear power is increasingly under challenge due to the incidents at the Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants, and concerns over radioactive discharges, safe management of radioactive waste and lack of an operational repository for spent nuclear fuel. Central to these concerns is the perceived unique radiological risk of nuclear power. But in a world where Climate Change presents a threat to the entire planet, is nuclear power and the associated radiological risk not ethical? Exploring the interplay between climate change ethics and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP)’s System of Radiological Protection, we consider the major contribution that new nuclear power stations can make to climate change mitigation, through decarbonisation of power systems, and finally unpick the case for nuclear power in this new world of climate change ethics.","PeriodicalId":377724,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125544232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagrams derived from Newton’s work assist in properly explaining light-mass interactions introduced theoretically in the 20th Century. Because true absolute magnitudes of these variables are distinct from measurements of these quantities, both experimental error and perceptual error have caused widespread confusion and false extrapolations of the meaning of special relativity that are addressed here.

It has been proven that the scientific paradigm of dark cold sunspots prevailing in solar physics is erroneous, since it contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. It has been proven that dark sunspots in the solar photosphere can only be hotter than the photosphere, and their visual darkness is of a non-thermal nature. Sunspots are the hottest areas of the Sun's surface, the temperature of which is ~ 6∙106 K, and they are the cause and sources of thermal energy of solar activity phenomena. The physical and empirical inconsistency of the concept of the magnetic activity of the Sun and the processes of magnetic reconnection in the solar atmosphere is proved. All unsolved problems of solar physics, including the heating of the corona, are due to the false paradigm of cold sunspots.","PeriodicalId":377724,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123848509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, it is suggested that the neutral hydrogen layer, containing Fe atoms, of the corona, are ionized by the impact of energetic current carrying electrons along loops of magnetic field lines. It is suggested that current-carrying electrons are accelerated by the double layer; the corona consists of a large number of magnetic loops. It is shown that the current of intensity of about 1μA/cm2, consisting of 10 Kev electrons accelerated by the double layer, could provide the ionization rate of 1.8 x 104/cm3 in the corona along the loops. Thus, the corona could not be in a thermal equilibrium, so that the temperature of the corona may not be inferred from what the ionization potential of highly ionized atoms suggests. It is shown also that a dynamo process of the photosphere can generate the needed field-aligned currents. Further, the above estimated ionization rate can supply the solar wind.","PeriodicalId":377724,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129210306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison of CME time series with solar activity (especially SSAT and SSN which seem to reflect the true general activity cycle) shows that fast CMEs follow the solar activity cycle but slow CMEs don’t. Also, CMEs with positive and negative acceleration follow the solar cycle but lags behind b 3monhs for cycle 24. However, the CME acceleration does not follow the solar cycle. CME distribution show that Slow CMEs increases in initial speed from one cycle to the other with a corresponding decrease in acceleration for CMEs with fast speeds. There is an almost insignificant increase in acceleration for CMEs with positive and negative acceleration. These charges are perhaps due to effect of solar wind.","PeriodicalId":377724,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126832196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study shows that B-spline can identify flow patterns from larger craters to the small crater. The Marghany 4-D algorithm of great polygon pattern flows is reconstructed using a 4-D B-spline.
