How much land does a nuclear power plant need?

alot:)


Can crops be grown on land that has been struck by a nuclear bomb?

Absolutely. However they should be tested for radiological contamination before being eaten. In both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bamboo naturally sprouted from their rhizome in less than a week after the attacks.


How does an Airplane with its tire burst during take off land?

There would be 2 chooses. If it is not too serious (only one wheel) they can try and land on the remaining wheels. If it is really serious a belly landing would be the next best option.


Why are nuclear power stations bad?

Strictly speaking, nuclear power stations aren't really that bad, since every method of getting energy has pros and cons. The disadvantages of nuclear power stations are that they create some waste products. These things are radioactive and waste with high radiation output (over 90% of waste does not emit more radiation than a cup of coffee) will cause long term damage to anyone staying near it for awhile. Around 90% of the available energy in the fuel rods when they are removed from the reactor after three fuel cycles (the typical period). If the highly radioactive fission fragments were extracted and the fissionable material reprocessed into new fuel (as they have been doing in France for decades), the remaining volume of radioactive material would be significantly reduced. Another disadvantage is that nuclear power stations may melt down, irradiating the land around them. There is actually a low chance of a meltdown, but when it does happen, an entire region can be contaminated and poisoned.


What is arithmetic density?

Arithmetic density is the total number of people divided by the total land area it like this the total population divided by the total land area that is cultivated or in simple TP/TLA It's important because knowing the population and the land that they are inhibiting could help knowing how many towns, or city's they can build for the population in the future. If the land is overpopulated, they would need to find a way to take all those people and fit them in. Also, Knowing how many people take up the land can determine how much agricultural density is needed for the people there or in other places. Normally, when land is overpopulated, more people will want to move there. So knowing the population would prepare them for immigrants to come into the area. Hope this helped.

How does nuclear waste cause land pollution?

It would cause pollution because it would harm men or animals using the land, and would contaminate food produced on the land. However this is not allowed to happen, nuclear waste is carefully controlled and confined to waste stores designed for the purpose


Would Nuclear war help environmental degradation?

I should think nuclear war would cause all sorts of degradation. But one of the results would be contamination of the land with nuclear fall out which would be long lasting and affect generations to come.

Apollo 13 never did land on the moon, as there was a explosion in the spacecraft.


Can Military land vehicles be nuclear powered?

Sure. Are they? No. There would be no point to it and besides it would be a real problem when someone blew it up.


What happened to the land in Chernobyl?

The accident was in 1986. An experiment went wrong and produced a very rapid surge in steam pressure which blew the top of the reactor off.


Does the land get damaged after a nuclear explosion?

Yes, If the explosion is on or above the surface of the earth the immediate area is subjected to intense heat and will melt into glass. Also the explosion will disperse radioactive products into the air and this plume will settle out in time polluting the land where it falls. When the explosion is subterranean (the only type allowed once the damage of surface testing was obvious) then the distributed radioactive pollution problem is mitigated but the explosion hollows out a chamber under the ground and causes a pockmark depression above the test site. The earth is big these, these pockmarks are not serious but problems could occur were groundwater to seep through the test area (a risk that is enhance due to the fracturing caused by the explosion) and carry radioactivity to other places. All in all it is best not to test bombs, if you must then use a computer to simulate/model the explosion rather then setting a bomb off.

No.They Do not need a lot of land. A single Nuclear Power plant requires around 640 Acres.
