What is the current status with the nuclear reactors in Japan after the 2011 earthquake?
Currently there is no danger that they will explode, however there has been leaking radiation and it has been detected as far away as Dublin in Ireland.
Is their danger of radiation from a Toyota Prius manufactured after the nuclear accident in japan?
No
What is the danger of nuclear radiation?
Ionising radiation from Alpha, Beta and Gamma emissions (from radioactive materials) are harmful to most organs of the body.
Why is the possible collapse of a nuclear power plant in Japan such a danger?
since it is a NUCLEAR power plant, radiation can be released, which is really harmful to people and others. :)
How can a nuclear plant put a home in danger?
If the nuclear plant has an accident that allows radiation to leak, the radiation can make nearby receptors quite ill. Edit: This is a bit of an understatement tbh. If the radiation "leaks" and people nearby are exposed to said radiation, statistically, their chances of all manner of diseases is increased. Mainly cancer.
What are some of the dangers inherent in a nuclear reactor?
There are a few dangers that are inherent in a nuclear reactor. The major danger inherent in a nuclear reactor is the effects of radiation. Radiation poisoning can be extremely deadly and harmful. Other inherent dangers include radioactive waste and the potential catastrophic damage of an accident such as at Chernobyl.
How much danger does the US face with Japan's nuclear plant radiation fallout?
The U.S does not face much of a threat from the radiation in Japan but it may quite be possible for the minimal amounts of radiation to get here, possibly the amount a microwave emits when activated.
What is a danger of ultraviolet radiation?
SKIN CANCER!
Is there a danger of radiation exposure from japan nuclear power plant in Hong Kong today?
I think Hong Kong is far enough away to be safe, certainly with the present situation (17 March)
What is the danger of nuclear waste?
Radiation. Radiation is poisonous to most forms of life. it has the ability to tamper with the genetic makeup of living things causing malformation and cancers to name but a few of the problems it can bring about. it is also difficult to store safely remaining lethal for thousands of years.
What are the concerns of nuclear reactors?
If ever they break down alot of uranium can be realesed into the atmospehere and as of all the extremly dangerous toxins and heat if a generator breaks then there is an unbelivable danger because the plant can no longer create energy which is used to cool the reactor as a safety procedure
What do coolants do in nuclear power stations?
The coolants prevent overheating caused by the uranium rods. The process by which nuclear plants work is through the heating of water, which turns into steam and drives the shaft, which in turn creates current. Without coolant the rods would overheat and cause an explosion (like the one seen in Japan, or Chernobyl), thus creating a danger of radiation and causing great danger to the human population.
