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
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 causes a nuclear explosion?
A nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from a nuclear chain reaction. This can occur in a nuclear weapon when a critical mass of fissile material is rapidly brought together, leading to a highly destructive explosion. In a nuclear reactor, such an explosion is prevented through control mechanisms that regulate the nuclear reaction.
What are the method of controlling nuclear explosion?
nuclear explosion?
How big is the crater that is caused from a nuclear explosion?
The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.
What causes the thermal heat in a nuclear explosion?
The thermal heat in a nuclear explosion is caused by the rapid release of energy from the fission or fusion reactions taking place. The intense heat is a result of the high temperatures reached during the explosion, which can be in the millions of degrees Celsius.
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 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.
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.
Which type of nuclear burst occurs?
A nuclear burst can occur as a result of a nuclear explosion, which can be caused by either a fission or fusion reaction. The specific type of burst depends on the design and intent of the nuclear device used.
Is the Japanese earthquake still affecting people?
Yes by the nuclear worries caused by the power plant:)
