How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
Is nuclear reaction good or bad?
nuclear reaction are bad because it kill people who live near by, it can cause long term effect on the people who live for a nuclear explosion and it can be bad for environment too!
Can nuclear fuel rods overheat and explode?
In a 'meltdown', the nuclear fuel rods will overheat and melt, not explode. It is the build-up of pressure within the containment vessel that can cause an explosion.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
How does a neutron bomb explode?
A neutron bomb is a form of nuclear weapon. It explodes in several steps. In the first step, control circuits fire electronic blasting caps cause conventional explosives to detonate. They are shaped in such as way that the explosion crushes a ball of nuclear material (mainly plutonium) causing that to produce nuclear fission (an atomic explosion). THAT serves as the trigger to a nuclear fusion explosion- (similar to the hydrogen bomb). This releases heat, blast, and neutrons.
Will radiation cause the salvation or destruction of mankind?
No. The chances are unlikely. 0.0000039% Is the chance for an nuclear Explosion.
What is a sentence for the word immediate?
The situation was dangerous and required immediate action. The explosion was the immediate cause of most of the injuries.
Why do nuclear bombs cause mass destruction?
because of the force and radiation
How big is a ICBM explosion?
That depends on what type of warhead its equipped with. ICBM's are usually fitted with Nuclear warheads which cause massive destruction such as being able to level an entire city say the size of New York or Los Angeles in a single blast. However that said ICBM's just as easily be fitted with non-nuclear warheads and these have several different levels of explosive yield. To answer this simply. With a non-nuclear warhead: Big explosion. With a nuclear warhead: Gigantic.
How much miles of damage can a nuclear missile cause?
The explosion will only take up a square mile or two. The shockwave, will spread and destroy for several more miles. The real destruction is the nuclear fallout. Tons of radioactive matieral being scatered by the wind can spread hundreds of miles.
Causes the greatest damage in explosion?
Nuclear weapons cause the greatest damage in explosion. This will affect even the atmosphere for a very long period of time.
What isNuclear fallout?
Its the nuclear dust and debris that settles in the air after a nuclear explosion. This then comes down on the ground. Its a mixture of nuclear particles, and debris from the surrounding area. This can cause radiation sickness.
What do you get when you mix an acid with water?
A nuclear explosion which may cause a nuclear holocaust. If you do this, it could cause the end of the world. This is a secret held by the CDC. Whatever you do, do not do this. It could cause the end of all life as we know it. If you do do it, and you live, drink it.
What was the most immediate cause of the Cuban missile crisis?
The detection of Soviet offensive nuclear missiles in Cuba.
How does the human race utilize nuclear energy?
Basically, nuclear energy is used in two ways: * In nuclear reactors, to generate electricity. * In nuclear bombs (atom bombs) to cause destruction on a large scale.
