Is Hawaii in danger of radiation from the nuclear reactors in Japan?
No, Hawaii is currently not in danger of radiation from the incidents involving the nuclear reactors in Japan.
Is their danger of radiation from a Toyota Prius manufactured after the nuclear accident in japan?
No
Why is the possible collapse of a nuclear power plant in Japan such a danger?
since it is a NUCLEAR power plant, radiation can be released, which is really harmful to people and others. :)
How can a nuclear plant put a home in danger?
If the nuclear plant has an accident that allows radiation to leak, the radiation can make nearby receptors quite ill. Edit: This is a bit of an understatement tbh. If the radiation "leaks" and people nearby are exposed to said radiation, statistically, their chances of all manner of diseases is increased. Mainly cancer.
What are the signs of nuclear radiation?
There are no immediate signed of nuclear radiation.
What are some of the dangers inherent in a nuclear reactor?
There are a few dangers that are inherent in a nuclear reactor. The major danger inherent in a nuclear reactor is the effects of radiation. Radiation poisoning can be extremely deadly and harmful. Other inherent dangers include radioactive waste and the potential catastrophic damage of an accident such as at Chernobyl.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
How much danger does the US face with Japan's nuclear plant radiation fallout?
The U.S does not face much of a threat from the radiation in Japan but it may quite be possible for the minimal amounts of radiation to get here, possibly the amount a microwave emits when activated.
What does Yucca Mountain have to do with nuclear radiation?
people are planning to store nuclear radiation there.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Is radiation good for nuclear energy?
Radiation is a consequence of nuclear energy. In fact, without the radiation of a large neutron flux, nuclear energy would not exist.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
