How big is a nuclear fuel rod?
I didnt measure when I had it in hand but I would guess 12cm diameter, and maybe 80 cm long, for a magnox reactor anyway
Where is the big nuclear reactor in New York?

Which will produce more severe burn boiling water at 100 degree or steam?
AnswerSteamAdded:Steam causes more severe burns as compared to boiling water because steam contains more heat (i.e 40.6 kJ/mol condensation heat) then boiling water, both at the same temperature 100 oC.From that condensation is momentanous when in contact with skin, after being liquefied it behaves the same as boiling water: still 100 oC and cooling down is slower than condensation.
How big is a nuclear reactor?
Sizes vary for commercial nuclear reactors, an approximate size would be about 15 feet in diameter by 50 feet tall
Is steam Invisible?
It depends on how big the steam is. If the steam is as small as water vapour, it cannot be seen by the naked eye. If the steam is as big as water droplets, it can be seen by naked eye. But if many steam, it always can be seen by naked eye.

What are the basic canning equipment supplies needed to get started?
You need Mason jars - not mayo jars, not a used food jar, genuine Mason canning jars. You also need lids and rings. You need jar tongs to pick up jars of food just out of boiling water. Finally, you need a vessel big enough to hold at least four jars at one, and cover them with boiling water. With this minimal set of equipment, you can can at least four jars at a time.

What ingredients in salt makes water's boiling point lower?
It's not the ingredients in salt, but the presence of the salt itself. The salt holds the water in because of its attractive forces and blocking of the water throughout the mixture. Any soluble substance will affect the boiling and freezing points of any solvent based on how big the solute particles are, and the boiling/freezing pt constants, K, for the solvent.

Does the core eventually cool after meltdown?
At some point, the materials that were the core of a reactor cool after a meltdown. The problem is that some or even a lot of the core could melt and turn into a big puddle on the bottom of a reactor vessel. Further, it could melt through and onto the floor of the reactor building. It is also possible that it could melt through this, too. While it is true that the materials of the core will eventually cool, there might be little if any core left. A big "blob" of material will eventually result. But it may take a long time for this to happen. And the release of radiation throughout this time may be extremely large and contaminate a broad area.
