No, a nuclear weapon needs a specific geometry to detonate, and it has to be held in this position by very high explosives to keep it in this shape. In a nuclear reactor, if the reactor core goes critical then the force of the expanding coolant will blow the reactor apart, preventing a nuclear blast.

What time did the nuclear power plant explode?

When did the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explode?
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded on April 26, 1986. It was the worst nuclear disaster in history.
Can a Cookie induced nuclear power plant explode like a nuclear weapon?
No, a cookie-induced nuclear power plant cannot explode like a nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons rely on a controlled chain reaction to release an explosive amount of energy, whereas nuclear power plants use a controlled chain reaction to generate electricity. The mechanisms and processes of these two systems are fundamentally different.
When did Fukushima nuclear power plant explode?

Is the nuclear power plant going to explode in Japan?

Did a Ukrainian nuclear power plant explode in 1986?
Yes, Chernobyl
What will be the effect if all the nuclear power plant will explode or blast?
There will be an earth shattering kaboom
If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?
No, a nuclear explosion on a nuclear power plant would not cause the explosion radius to increase. The explosion radius would be determined by the yield of the nuclear weapon itself, not by the presence of the power plant.
Where did a nuclear reactor explode in 1986?
A nuclear reactor exploded in 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. The explosion released a large amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere, making it one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.
What caused the nuclear power plant in japan to explode?
The pumps that were supposed to keep the nuclear reactors cool failed to work because the earthquake broke them
Can a nuclear reactor be used as a nuclear weapon?
No. LLNL even tested several Uranium-Hydride bombs in the 1950s. Even though their computer models said the devices should explode, none gave a nuclear yield. One could use the waste from the reactor as a Radiological Weapon, but the reactor itself is not useful as a weapon.
What are the example of nuclear force?
The energy released when a nuclear power plant generates heat to generate steam to generate electricity. The energy released when a nuclear weapon detonates.
