What are the three barriers in a nuclear power plant?
Reactivity control, Emergency core cooling, Fuel Cladding, Primary containment, Secondary containment. OK - so that's five... Control and cooling might not be barriers, per se, but they are up there in the grand scheme of things.
What is the function of a nuclear reactor of a nuclear plant?
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
What kind of nuclear plant was Chernobyl?
Chernobyl was a Nuclear Power Plant.
What is the positive of nuclear power plant?
what is negative of the nuclear power plant
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
What are The three main barriers in a nuclear power plant?
containment building
The three main barriers in a nuclear power plant to prevent release of fission products are?
the Containment building
5 The nuclear power plant at Chernobyl did not have secondary containment structures?
Correct.
What might happen to a nuclear power plant if the containment structure was damaged?
It could release radiation.
What caused the release of radition in Japan's atmosphere?
Due to the earthquake and tsunami, the electricity in and around the nuclear generation plant cut off. Therefore, the cooling system shut down and the entire area overheated. This caused nuclear radiation to leak into surrounding areas. The tsunami also washed away the emergency generators and pumps for the cooling system. The water overheated and turned to steam. It is beleived the containment vessel exploded due to the pressure, damaging the outer containment building structure.
What technology or equipment is needed to produce Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear rods, turbine, lectric transformers, power lines, nuclera power plant, LOTS OF WATER and containment chambers
Why did a nuclear power plant chooses an egglike shape reactor?
The reactor is not Egg like. It is the Containment area that is egg like, So no steam or nuclear radiation cannot escape.
What are the advantages of reviving bataan nuclear?
To get some return from the investment in building the plant
Quarantined area of a nuclear plant is called?
It is the containment building in which the reactor vessel and the primary cooling plumbing is housed. During normal operation, radiation levels inside are lethal. Additionally, this structure is designed to "contain" the highly radioactive materials in the event of a major accident.
What scientists would be needed to build a nuclear power plant?
None. Building a nuclear power station is a job for engineers.
Did Obama want to create a nuclear plant?
Yes, Obama has come out in favor of building new, safe, nuclear power plants.
What prevents the escape of radiation in the event of an accident at a nuclear power plant?
The main protection, in the event of a serious leak from the primary reactor circuit, is the secondary containment structure, which you most obviously see in photos as the dome over the reactor building, but is in fact a complete barrier around the reactor.
