What happens to water molecules when irradiated do they ionise if they dont get radioactive why not?
Generally, water molecules when irradiated, do ionize into oxygen and hydrogen. There are hydrogen recombiners in the system to protect the reactor from the possibility of hydrogen explosions. Generally, water does not become radioactive. It only ionizes. But, in the core of the reactor, where there is a heavy flux of neutrons, the oxygen atoms can "activate" into Nitrogen-16, which is highly radioactive, though with a very short half-life of about 7.13 seconds. This is why the steam tunnel of a BWR is highly shielded and quite long - giving the 16N a chance to decay.
Why after the detonation of the atom bomb in Hiroshima did people immediately die after drinking water?
The water was heavily irradiated, and contained radioactive fallout. It is also likely that these are secondary causes; the vats majority would have already been hit with lethal doses of radiation from the explosion itself.
Sodium is irradiated for 2 seconds with infrared light and no electrons are ejected The same metal is irradiated for 2 seconds with ultraviolet light and thousands of electrons are emitted?
Its because the electrons need a minimum amount of energy to come out of the material. This energy is called the threshold energy.
What are the limitation of plutonium?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
What is Radiation that is not a particle?
Radiation will always remain a particle so long as it doesn't come in contact with MOST direct sunlight, or water. In that case, water becomes irradiated and the Particle becomes part of the water..answer 2 electromagnetic radiation - radio waves do not involve particles. Sound waves, heat, and UV light etc also are radiation. 'Radiation' is also used in biology, to describe the spread .

Is water irradiated with X-rays harmful for us?
yes it is harmful
What would happen if uranium spilled into water?
Water pollution; it is important to know the quantity spilled, the possibility of dilution, the estimated concentration, if it is irradiated uranium, etc.
What are irradiated eggs?
CAFO eggs (um, "grocery-store" eggs) are irradiated to reduce contamination, chiefly salmonella.
What is japan doing to get the nuclear power plant under control?
They are releasing irradiated sea water into the Pacific and also pumping sea water into the reactors in order to cool the uranium rods.
What pollution is caused by nuclear fallout?
Dust storms, Radiation, Water may get irradiated and undrinkable, acid rain. Basically, the shittiest, pardon my french, weather ever.
What is a fluorescent uranium salt?
A salt which become fluorescent when is irradiated with UV radiations from a UV lamp.
Is irradiated meat microwaved meat?
No, it is subjected to UV rays.
