What happens when the cooling system for a nuclear reactor fails?
When the cooling systems fail the station over heats and blows up. For example, Chernobly 1986, Ukraine.
What is an example of converting Nuclear energy to electromagnetic energy in an energy transformation?
In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is used to heat water to make steam which can be used to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators. A lot of electric power comes from nuclear power plants.
Are there nuclear power plants in Nebraska?
There are no licenced nuclear power plants in Utah. There is one research reactor at the University of Utah. Such a reactor is not licenced the way commercial reactors are, in part because they are supposedly incapable of melting down. They are used for a variety of purposes, including making radionuclides used in medicine.
When was Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station created?
Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station was created in 1983.
What is the coolant used in kalpakkam power station in India?
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.
Block diagram of a nuclear power station?
The heart of a nuclear power plant is the nuclear reactor.

When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?
Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20, 1951, at the EBR-I experimental station near Arco, Idaho, which initially produced about 100 kW.
Where is the nearest nuclear power station to Sunderland?
If you mean Sunderland in the UK, this is Hartlepool, a twin reactor AGR plant
Where are two sites of nuclear power plants in Washington?
I can only find one site, Columbia Nuclear Station, 12miles NW of Richland. This is a GE Type5 reactor, rated output 1107 MWe. There was a research reactor at university in Seattle but this is being decommissioned. There are no nuclear plants in Washington DC
Where is the nuclear station in Sydney?
In Sydney (and in fact all Australia) there is only one nuclear reactor, this is at Lucas Heights near Sydney. It is used to produce radio-isotopes, not electricity.
