What are fallout shelters?
A fallout shelter is basically a shelter that you have to live in when there is some sort of nuclear activity going on outside on planet earth. You wait and live in there until there is no sign of nuclear activity or radiation. However, this takes a very long time. It takes about 1,000 years. So bundle up with plenty of food and water because you're going to live there for a LONG time! To survive the radiation from a nuclear attack
If you have a 1000kva transformer than can you work on that transformer?
No. From what you're saying you're taking the input to the 2kV transformer in a microwave and replacing it with a 1MW input. The transformer will burn in milliseconds of power. <<>> The installation and maintenance of a 1000 KVA transformer can be worked on in a de energized state. To do so live could be extremely dangerous at any voltage.
Do televisions use single-phase or 3-phase power?
Answer 1: TV's use single-phase power. Answer 2: TV's use single phase power of 220 or 110 volts ac power depending on what part of the world you live in.
Where does voltage come from?
Connect one end of a piece of wire to a battery terminal and the other end to the other terminal. The ends of the wire become oppositely charged and the electrons in the wire flow along it towards the positive terminal. This causes the chemicals in the battery to change and eventually they will all be changed and the battery will be flat. It will then be unable to keep the ends of the wire oppositely charged and the current will stop. Or you could connect the wire to the terminals of a generator. The laws of magnetism will cause the generator - when it's turned - to charge the ends of the wire oppositely and a current will flow. But only while the generator is turning, because as soon as the electrons move down the wire they neutralise the charge, which must be replaced to keep the current flowing.
What does the live wire do in an electrical circuit?
The live wire in the supply cable carries current from the power station to the electrical device that you want to use. The current returns to the power station through the neutral wire in the supply cable. For safety reasons, on some electrical equipment there is also a ground wire - also known as an earth wire. It is connected to any metal parts on the outside of the unit, such as a metal case, and to any internal metal chassis, motor framework, etc. The ground wire is necessary to conduct away the current which could otherwise kill someone if a fault or an accident happens which damages the insulation of the live wire so that it touches any of those metal parts and gives them a high voltage. That would be very dangerous to the human users of the equipment.
Is it safe to work or live in the nuclear power plant?
obviously not
Why is Chernobyl forbidden?
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
What is the population of Ukraine chernobyl?
Because of the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, not many people live there. Chernobyl, Ukraine has a population of 500.
Would I be in danger if the generator of the nearby power plant exploded?
If you live near a nuclear power plant you might be in danger if it exploded. But the engineers are taking immense precautions to prevent any faults that would cause a plant to explode so you're safe.
Is Chernobyl in Pripyat?
No. They are both cities that are near the now abandoned nuclear plant that had a disaster in 1986. Pripyat was built for workers to live in. It is nearer to the Chernobyl power plant than Chernobyl is.
Does a plant and animal have nuclear pores?
yes because all plant have a live cyel
If you live in a town with coal power would you have more blackouts then someone who live in a town with nuclear power?
If the town is solely supplied from one power plant, with no connection to the national grid, then probably the coal plant would be more reliable. Nuclear plants because they have complicated safety shutdown systems sometimes shutdown spuriously and without any prior warning. However that is not a real situation, any town will have a connection to the grid so failure of any one plant would enable power to be drawn from elsewhere.
Where is the closest nuclear energy plant to your house?
i dont live close to one
What is the best way for major cities to prepare for earthquakes?
Don't build or live in old buildings, and don't build an old and out of date, cheap nuclear power plant on fault lines.
Can nuclear energy kill people?
Yes it can. If a nuclear power plant melts down radioactive material is put into the atmosphere, land, water. A good example of this is in Russia where Chernobyl had a meltdown. Nothing can live there today and won't for another 100 years.
Where is a good place to build a nuclear power plant?
The nuclear power station should be built in an area that isn't prone to earthquakes, as if there is an earthquake, the radioactive material will be leaked. It shouldn't be near a highly populated area, but there should be homes close enough for workers to live in. There should be an adequate amount of roads so that material can be brought in large quantities easily.
Percent of US using nuclear energy?
About 19% of the electricity used is from nuclear power, but all the lower 48 states of the United States use some nuclear power. Alaska and Hawaii are separate. Electrical power is conducted on a grid. The power goes into the grid from various power stations, and is used by various users. If a power plant goes down, the grid distributes power continuously because other plants continue and take up the slack. There are not many people who can say their power comes from a specific power plant, and most of those are probably off grid users (people who generate their own power). One estimate is 180,000 families, which might be 900,000 people, are off grid. In addition, roughly 700,000 people who live in Alaska and 1,300,000 in Hawaii have power that does not come from nuclear plants. That totals about 2,180,000, or about 0.7% of the population of the United States who use no nuclear power.
