Nuclear energy

Nuclear energy may refer to:

  • Nuclear power, the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity
  • Nuclear binding energy, the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom
  • Nuclear Energy (sculpture), a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore in the University of Chicago
  • Nuclear potential energy, the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus
  • Nuclear Energy (sculpture)

    Nuclear Energy is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore that is located on the campus of the University of Chicago at the site of world's first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1.

    Location

    It is located on Ellis Avenue, between the Max Palevsky West dormitory and the Mansueto Library. This site is located in the Hyde Park community area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The location commemorates the exact location where the Manhattan Project team devised the first nuclear reactor to produce the first self-sustaining controlled nuclear reaction under the former stands of Stagg Field.

    History

    The sculpture was commissioned by the B. F. Ferguson monument fund.

    The sculpture is described as 14.0 feet (4.3 m) in height and 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter by the Smithsonian Institution and it sits atop a base that is 1.5 feet (0.46 m) in height and 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter. However, the University of Chicago says it is only 12 feet (3.7 m) in height. The Henry Moore Foundation lists its height at 3.66m. The sculpture reminds some of the human skull, while it reminds others of an atomic mushroom cloud.
