How many reactors have exploded at the Fukushima Daiishi nuclear power plant?

I think four of the six on site, but they have not all had the same problems. The explosions were actually in the reactor buildings, not inside the reactor pressure vessels, and these explosions were due to hydrogen accumulating and forming an explosive mixture with air


When was the first time an operating nuclear reactor flew on an airplane and what type of reactor and model of airplane were used in this flight?

The Air Force did a little bit of stuff with nuclear-powered aircraft in the 1950s. They built a couple of nuclear-powered J58 turbojets and ran them to nearly-full throttle, but never installed them in aircraft. They also mounted a reactor in a B-36 bomber, but never connected it to the engines. As far as I can tell they didn't put any fuel in the reactor - they just put the reactor vessel in the plane and went flying. In the end, the amount of shielding it would have taken to keep the crew from dying in mid-flight was impossible to put in a flyable aircraft.In the early to mid 1960s they also talked about building nuclear-powered civil airliners. Back then EVERYTHING was going to be nuclear-powered - cars, trucks, ships, houses...The Navy had a lot more luck with nuclear reactors. A ship can accommodate the shielding, so several classes of ship have had nuclear power. All our current carriers and subs are nuclear. The Navy also built nine nuclear-powered cruisers to accompany carriers, all of which were decommissioned at the end of the Cold War. There were some nuclear civil ships too - the US, Japan, Germany and the Soviet Union all built nuclear cargo ships, and the Russians built nine nuclear icebreakers. Of all these ships, three cargo ships have been decommissioned, the German-owned one has been converted to diesel power, and six of the nine icebreakers are still in service.

In a nuclear reactor meltdown what melts?

The short answer is that at least the fuel melts, but if it can melt anything else, it does, including concrete. There are different types of meltdowns. At Three Mile Island, the meltdown happened when hot steam reacted with the zirconium cladding of reactor rods. This allowed uranium fuel pellets to come into contact and melt together. Upwards of half of the fuel in the reactor melted. A worse case is if the reactor itself melts, so the nuclear fuel can go through it. In Chernobyl, the reactor was opened by a series of explosions caused by steam and chemical reactions. Molten fuel escaped the reactor, and there was a threat that when it melted through the concrete floor the reactor stood on, it would fall into a water containment below. If this had happened it almost certainly would have caused another explosion and a much worse disaster. Fortunately for all of us who are alive, a number of people went into the area of the disaster, knowing they would be killed as a result, to get the water out of the containment under the reactor. The molten fuel combined with other materials, and was diluted in the process, finally solidifying in the area under the reactor. As a matter of interest, other people also worked to contain the radioactive material, knowing the work would kill them. Some of these people lived as long as six weeks in the hospital, and some hospital workers came down with radiation poisoning as a result of this exposure. The disaster workers who died were buried in graves over 300 feet deep to isolate the radiation in their bodies.
