Measures to prevent nuclear pollution

Answer 1

You have to design the reactor primary circuit to a very high standard such that massive releases of coolant are not possible, and you have to also design minor breaches of the primary circuit so that the operators are always aware of any loss of coolant. Also to provide a secondary containment which will prevent any small coolant leaks from reaching the environment.

Answer 2

You have to be careful in handling the spent fuel that is discharged to make sure it never is released from safe storage, and generally operate the plant safely so that events like fuel melting never occur. Apart from the pollution aspect, there could be very serious financial losses if this did occur, so the Accountants are usually at one with the scientists on this.

Answer 3

nuclear pollition is a problem that is generaly "tackled" by isolating the radioactive material and burying it "out of harms way". it does seem feasable however that they could simply dilute the material and put it back into the world where it originaly came from (as the radioactive materials were mined in the first place and this method would reduce the risk of the material being leaked over time in higher concentration as has happened once in the United Kingdom)

Answer 4

Elimination of nuclear materials will prevent radiation. There are some natural sources which cannot be elminiated. As regards exposure, time, distance and shileding will limit exposure. (Less time exposed, greater distance from a source, and more shielding will result in less exposure.) There is a bit more we might add.

You can stop alpha radiation with your skin. Beta radiation can be stopped by wearing normal clothing. Gamma radiation, however, is highly penetrating and requires lots of dense shielding. Lead is a good shielding material for this. Concrete and dirt are fairly good shielding materials, and they are plentiful and inexpensive.

Answer 5

There is no need for nuclear pollution to occur in a well run nuclear industry such as in the US or Europe. It's just a matter of good housekeeping and good practice, supplemented by regular thorough radiation checks in the plant and its surroundings.

Answer 6

To prevent nuclear pollution, there are several things that must be done. Firstly, the place for a radioactive installation is carefully chosen. Secondly, a license must be applied for.

Answer 7

In a nuclear reactor by putting a neutron absorber into the core, this is usually the control rods.

Answer 8

You cool down the atoms so that they lose energy; without the required energy the atoms will not be able to fuse.

Answer 9

you cant it will keep polluting
