What happens when the cooling system for a nuclear reactor fails?
If the cooling system for a nuclear reactor fails, it can lead to overheating of the reactor core. This can potentially result in damage to the fuel rods, causing them to melt and release radiation into the environment, leading to a nuclear meltdown. Emergency measures, such as injecting coolant or venting steam, are taken to prevent such an event.
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
If the control rods in a nuclear reactor are removed would the condition be supercritical or subcritical?
If the control rods in a nuclear reactor were somehow to be instantly "jerked" out of the reactor, the reactor would go supercritical. If they were pulled at a normal rate and all of the control rods were pulled out, the reactor would start up and heat up and would end up running far too hot. Any one of several safety systems would shut the reactor down before this could happen. If the safety systems were disabled, the reactor would overheat and a meltdown may occur.
What is a part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction?
Nuclear fission takes place in the nuclear fuel rods that are placed in the reactor core that is situated in the reactor pressure vessel. The reactor pressure vessel is usually situated inside the reactor containment.
Are control rods of nuclear reactors used to stop a leak?
No, control rods in nuclear reactors are not used to stop leaks. Control rods are used to regulate the power output of the reactor by absorbing neutrons and controlling the rate of nuclear fission. To stop a leak in a nuclear reactor, different containment and safety systems are employed to isolate and contain the leak.
What happens if a nuclear weapon blows up in you face?
you die

The process in which each split atom gives up neutrons which in turn split other atoms and so on is called an?
A nuclear chain reaction. This is what happens in a nuclear reactor.
What happens to sound when it gets hotter?
It blows up BOOM!It blows up BOOM!
What is the dark side to nuclear chemistry?
it blows stuff up
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?

What happens in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear powerplant is a Thermal powerstation that uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The method: A nuclear fission or fusion reaction happens which produces up to 650 to 700 Degrees Of heat when controlled. This massive amount of heat is then open to massive amounts of water that produces steam which in turn the turbines that produces up to 10,000 Mega Watts of electricity.
How much power does a nuclear plant produce?
Up to 1500MWe per reactor
What is the purpose of boron in nuclear reactors?
Boron is used inside a nuclear reactor inside a control rod which is used to 'soak' up the neutrons inside the nuclear reactor, a control rod can be used to control the rate of fission inside a nuclear reactor.
Examples for nuclear energy?
PWR and BWR reactor types. Look up in Wikipedia.
What happens in the body if it is deprived of Carbon?
it blows up.
What happens if your dog ate wood?
it blows up
