A short note on Bonneville Dam

The Bonneville Lock and Dam consist of numerous dam structures that together complete a span of the Columbia River between the US states of the Oregon and Washington at River Mile 146.1. The dam is situated 40 miles east of Portland, Oregon, in what is at present the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The most important functions of Bonneville Lock and the Dam are those of electrical power generation and the river navigation. The dam was built and is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Electrical power generated at Bonneville is spread by the Bonneville Power Administration. Bonneville Lock and the Dam are named for Army Capt. the Benjamin Bonneville, an early explorer credited with charting much of the Oregon Trail. The name is pronounced as BAH-nee-vill.

Core

The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 solar radii. It has a mass of up to 150,000 kg/m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth) and a temperature of close to 13,600,000 kelvins (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is close to 5,785 kelvins (1/2350th of the core)). Through most of the Sun's life, energy is formed by nuclear fusion through a series of steps called the p-p (proton-proton) chain; this process converts hydrogen into helium. The core is the only spot in the Sun that produces an substantial amount of heat via fusion: the rest of the star is heated by energy that is transferred outward from the core. All of the energy formed by fusion in the core must travel through many consecutive layers to the solar photosphere before it escapes into space as sunlight or kinetic energy of particles.
