A civil matter involves legal actions between individual people or businesses over issues like personal injury, breach of contracts, property rights, etc. A criminal actâ¦ion involves legal actions between the government and individual people for violation of that government's laws against criminal behavior.
Nuclear energy was discovered accidentally by French physicist Henri Becquerel, when he found that photographic plates stored near uranium compounds reacted as though they had been exposed to light in a way similar to X-rays.uclear reactors produce energy from uranium through an atomic fission reactionâthat is, radioactive atoms are split apart and the energy that is released in that fission is harnessed to produce heat and electricity.
H. Becquerel discovered that uranium was radioactive, i.e. was emitting energy which was unknown at the time. Marie Curie and Pierre Curie did further work on radioactivity aâ¦nd discovered new elements, radium and polonium which were also radioactive. Ernest Rutherford and his collaborator Soddy explored radioactivity systematically and discovered several new radioactive elements.
