Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
What are explosion earthquakes?
earthquakes caused by a nuclear or chemical reaction
What are they doing to fix the nuclear explosion in japan?
There was no nuclear explosion in the Japanese reactors. The explosion(s) that damaged/destroyed the Japanese reactors were either steam explosions and/or hydrogen/oxygen gas explosions.A steam explosion is what destroyed the Chernobyl reactor. It is caused when cooling water flash evaporates.A hydrogen/oxygen explosion is caused when water decomposes on contact with overheated zirconium cladding on fuel pellets, releasing hydrogen gas. If enough accumulates and a spark happens it explodes. Three Mile Island began accumulating hydrogen like this but it was vented before it could explode.
Was the earthquake in japan caused by an explosion of a nuclear power station?
no it was caused by the tectonic plates the nuclear plant disaster happened because of the earthquake
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
How are the Chernobyl explosion and Japanese earthquake alike?
The both ultimately resulted in the release of radioactive material from a nuclear reactor into the environment.
What may have caused the explosion of Japan's nuclear power plants?
The high temperatures created by the nuclear fuel rods led to the buildup of hydrogen gas which ignited.
Has there ever been a nuclear explosion besides Hiroshima?
Yes. Many countries around the world test nuclear bombs frequently. Most of these tests are underground or under water for secrecy reasons. The only other nuclear explosion used in war was the bombing of Nagasaki by the Americans, about a week after Hiroshima. The awsome (I use that word in its old-fashioned sense) effects of those two explosions caused the Japanese to surrender and World War Two to come to an end.
Is it possible for a nuclear plant to experience a nuclear explosion?
no
Is the Japanese earthquake still affecting people?
Yes by the nuclear worries caused by the power plant:)
What do you call the explosion called from an atomic bomb?
a nuclear explosion
