== Initial Questions ==
#How can you acquire energy from breaking chemical bonds within the nucleus without using radioactive (and highly dangerous) elements?

#Is there any way to acquire energy by breaking the bonds between gluons and quarks in any stable, common element such as carbon?
#How could humans work at nuclear power facilities without being exposed to harmful radiation?
#Could the proton-proton reaction realistically be manipulated to produce usable energy in nuclear power plants?
