What is the issue with the Japan earthquake?
It caused alot of damage to Japan, especially since it damaged a nuclear reactor that spread radiaton all around the world.
What is happening with Japan's nuclear reactor?
They are 'mothballing' it. It is being decommissioned and made safe.
What caused Japan's reactor to blow up?
the reactor over heated and the fail safe shut down failed
Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?
No, the tsunami did not trigger a nuclear blast. The nuclear blast at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan was caused by a loss of cooling functionality due to the earthquake which occurred before the tsunami.
What is the effect on japan because of the earthquake?
homeless people and people in poverty! well, there are so many effects! first, it moved the whole east coast about 8ft! also it caused massive destruction with their buildings, and also caused a tsunami that japan got shortly after the earthquake. there is also the nuclear power plant issue. three of the reactor buildings exploded and now nuclear waste everywhere! hope this helps!well, there are so many effects! first, it moved the whole east coast about 8ft! also it caused massive destruction with their buildings, and also caused a tsunami that japan got shortly after the earthquake. there is also the nuclear power plant issue. three of the reactor buildings exploded and now nuclear waste everywhere! hope this helps!
Did japan have a nuclear weapons program?
A small one, aimed mostly at nuclear power. But it never even got a functioning prototype reactor.
What caused the 2 shut downs of nuclear power plants in Japan?
The earthquake, I'm not sure exactly what instruments but I guess accelerometers connected to the reactor safety circuits that automatically drive in the control rods
What were some of the uses for the first nuclear reactor?
The very first nuclear reactor was Chicago Pile 1. It was built for research and scientific use. The first nuclear reactor outside of a university was built (at Hanford, Washington) primarily to yield plutonium for the atomic bomb destined for Nagasaki, Japan. Nuclear reactors were built primarily for electrical generation beginning in about 1951.
How did the Nuclear reactor get damiged?
If you are talking about the Nuclear Reactors in Japan, they were damaged because when they lost power, the water pumps used to cool them stopped, and all of the nuclear material overheated.
Why does Japan have many nuclear reactors?
The reason for having many reactors is because you can produce more electrical energy from them. Also Japan use BWR type reactors(Boiling Water Reactor) which are not as efficent as a more commonly used PWR reactor(Pressurized Water Reactor).
Who is the Minister in Charge of the Response to the Economic Impact Caused by the Nuclear Accident for Japan?
Toshimitsu Motegi is the Minister in Charge of the Response to the Economic Impact Caused by the Nuclear Accident for Japan.
