The reactor power was a max of about 1/2 a watt. See http://www.cfo.doe.gov/me70/manhattan/cp-1_critical.htm for an account of the experiment.
As far as radiation is concerned, this report does not give a figure, or even mention whether radiation was measured. The pile does not seem to have had any shielding, so the large group of observers as well as the experimental team would have had some radiation exposure, but limited in intensity and time. These were very early days, but the later reactors at Oak Ridge and Hanford had shielding.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
What did scientists build under a football stadium at the University of Chicago?
Project Manhatten, the first atomic reactor.
Does the atomic bomb produce more energythan a nuclear reactor?
That would depend on the yield of the bomb, the power rating of the reactor, and the lifetime of the reactor. Bombs release all their energy in microseconds, reactors take years or decades.
Who built the first nuclear reactor the 'Atomic pile'?
This was built as part of the Manhattan Project in WW2, to demonstrate the principle of the chain reaction. The results were used to design the Hanford piles to produce plutonium. The chief scientist for the Chicago pile was Enrico Fermi, first criticality in 1942
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
The nuclear engine?
An atomic reactor.
When was the atomic reactor invented?
1923
Who invented the atomic reactor?
Enrico Fermi
Where was a nuclear reaction created that led the creation of the atomic bomb in world war 2?
The first sustained nuclear chain reaction was in the CP-1 reactor in Chicago, IL.The X-10 reactor in Oak Ridge, TN was used to develop plutonium production reactor technology.Three reactors at Hanford, WA beginning with B reactor produced the plutonium.
What is the original name of nuclear reactor?
The original name of a nuclear reactor is an "atomic pile". The term was first used by Enrico Fermi to describe the experimental setup of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction in Chicago during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s.
Inventor of atomic reactor?
The first inventor of a nuclear reactor was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
