What was the worst reactor accident in history?
the reactor accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant.
What is difference between REACTORS and vessels?
What is reactor define it briefly
What is the difference between nuclear reactor and nuclearpower plant?
a nuclear reactor converts binding energy into heat. a nuclear power plant uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity.
What is the difference between homogeneous reactor and heterogeneous reactor?
Homogeneous reactor- the reactor where one phase exist for both the reactants. Hetrogenous reactor - the reactors where more than one phase exist among the reactants gas-liquid-solid.
What are the dangers if a nuclear reactor explodes?
The main one is disbursal of its radioactive contents into the environment. The fallout from this has the potential to be much worse than the fallout from nuclear weapons, as the amount of material inside the reactor that can be disbursed is far larger than the fallout that can be generated by any nuclear weapon ever deployed.
How did the chernobyl disaster harm the environment?
fallout from burning graphite mixed with molten reactor fuel.
The difference between nuclear waste and nuclear weapons?
The exact contents of radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon can vary widely but are likely to be similar in their primary isotopes.The major difference between the radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon is that the waste is normally contained and will not enter the environment (unless an accident happens) while the fallout is dispersed into the environment and is carried by the wind (sometimes all the way around the world multiple times).
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
What is the difference between Chemical Reactor Engineering and CFD?
Chemical reactor engineering is the overall discipline that uses CFD, computational fluid dynamics, as part of the necessary problem-solving data.
Who long can potassium iodide tablets protect you in a nuclear fallout?
One dose of FDA approved potassium iodide will protect the thyroid from radioactive iodine for 24 hours. Nuclear fallout would include a leak from a nuclear reactor or fallout from a nuclear weapon.
What is the difference between bioreactor and chemical reactor?
bioreactors involves organisms or plant cells etc. for conversion and cr nt
How high was Chernobyl on the nuclear scale?
Worst reactor accident to that date. The Japanese 2011 accident may turn out to be worse however.
