Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my Physics A-Level.

Why are fission reactors difficult to decommission? - is it simply because
that the construction materials will be radioactive due to absorption?

Matter and Anti-Matter. Is it the opposite of normal matter (i.e. an
electron has a positive charge and a proton has a negative charge)? If it
is difficult to create and contain (due to annihilation with normal matter)
why do you have positive and negative beta-decay? - surely that's matter /
anti-matter.

NEUTRINO's - What exactly is one, and how is it related to beta decay?

QUARKS - How does the character of them change during beta - and beta +
decay? 

Please e-mail me at:-

Thanks in advance for any help anyone gives.

Tom.
