How can nuclear reactors be dangerous?
The purpose of a nuclear reactor is to create and sustain a fission chain reaction in order to produce heat to make steam to drive turbines and produce electrical power (extremely simplified explanation). A fission chain reaction is the interaction of neutrons with fissile materials (elements that can be fissioned). Some enriched fuel (such as uranium-238) is introduced into the reactor core. It produces neutrons as radiation. If more fissile material is present ("fuel" such as uranium-235), that interaction repeats to make more neutrons, and so on. A nuclear reactor is designed to sustain a fission chain reaction and control the rate at which that reaction occurs. The nuclear core of a reactor, where the nuclear fuel is, needs to be shielded so that the radiation and any radioactive components inside do not escape into the general environment. The primary radiation type inside the core is neutron radiation. One of the best shields for neutron radiation is a hydrogen-dense substance, thus pure water is often used. Water, if circulated in a heat sink system, also serves as a heat-removal method (cooling system). The enclosure for the core and the water pool is a containment vessel made out of something that is airtight and which shields against other kinds of direct radiation. Steel is a common material, perhaps supplemented by concrete and other reinforcement to guard against being damaged by an earthquake, explosion, or an airplane impact (for example). There is usually an outer containment building that encloses the reactor containment vessel itself. This is a sort of "second line of defense" in case the reactor is breached. Containment buildings are designed to withstand extremely high internal pressures (such as superheated steam) and forces of almost any direction and realistic magnitude. The specific shape of buildings at a nuclear plant are part of their function. The concave towers that are so symbolic of nuclear power are a common design for cooling towers (and not the reactor core itself). Domes are a common shape for reactor containment buildings for a variety of reasons that have mostly to do with encouraging steam condensation.
What new kinds of technology help the city grow?
Subways, new architectural designs of office buildings, neighbourhoods, landmarks, new safety features in cars, homes, businesses, banks, workplaces, parks and playgrounds.
How much does nuclear energy cost?
That is impossible to answer. There are many kinds of chemical energy and each costs a different amount. AA batteries are chemical energy. A car battery is chemical energy. Gasoline is chemical energy. Food is chemical energy.
What is a concrete anchor bolt used for?
An anchor bolt is used to attach things or structures to concrete. Anchor bolts are used on all types of projects. They are used on dams and nuclear power plants.
Where was the nuclear explosion at in 1986?
I don't know of one specifically, there was still underground nuclear testing at the time so there might have been several that year. If you are thinking of the reactor explosion at Chernobyl that year, that was not a nuclear explosion, just a large steam explosion when the coolant water flash vaporized blowing the roof off the reactor. Once the graphite moderator in the core was exposed to air it caught fire, this was the worst part of the disaster as burning graphite is nearly impossible to put out and the smoke was carrying all kinds of radioactive material from deep in the core.

What are the processes to get power from nuclear energy?
The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by nuclear fission: neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat. Carbon dioxide gas or water is pumped through the reactor to take the heat away, this then heats water to make steam.The steam is used to turn massive steam turbines which drive hugh machines called alternators to produce electricity. The electricity is then distributed to homes, factories, schools, hospitals, railways and all kinds of other users via an electric power distribution network called a national power grid.More detail about how the uranium itself produced and usedThe consecutive processes to get power from nuclear energy is called the nuclear fuel cycle. In simple terms this includes the following processes:uranium mininguranium milling (concentration and purification)uranium conversion (into metal uranium, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafuoride, etc...)uranium enrichment (only for nuclear reactors that require uranium enriched in U-235)uranium fabrication into what is called fresh nuclear fuel assemblies (or elements or bundles or rods)use of the nuclear fuel in the nuclear reactor of the nuclear power plant to produce powernuclear fuel discharge (called spent or used fuel) after being irradiated in the nuclear reactor) and its replacement with new fresh fuel.interim storage of the spent fuel to get rid of its major part of its decay heat and level of radioactivity.then either:reprocessing of the spent fuel for reuse of the remaining uranium and the produced plutonium in the fuel during fuel irradiation in the reactor, orfinal disposal/storage of the spent nuclear fuel.

What kinds of temperature are required for a nuclear fusion to take place?
10,000,000 and up.
What are two kinds of nuclear energy?
Not sure what sort of cloud you are referring to. Nuclear reactions release energy as heat and as radioactivity.
