What does a nuclear power plant release in he air when it expoldes?
When a nuclear power plant explodes the largest worry is that the fuel source, like Uranium or Plutonium, will be released. This in turn would release huge amounts of radiation into the surrounding area.
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. :)
What state is the safest distance from all US nuclear plants in the event of a nuclear melt down?
You would have to be atleast 30 miles away from an individual nuclear power plant to get away from the deadly amounts of radiation.
Is radiation still leaking from Chernobyl nuclear plant?
There are still small amounts of radiation leaking from the Chernobyl nuclear plant, but it is mostly contained within the sarcophagus and new confinement structure. The site is continuously monitored and efforts are made to minimize the spread of radiation into the environment.
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.
Did Japan's nuclear plant pop?
As of March 20, Japan's nuclear plant is leaking radiation, but it has not collapsed yet.
Where did the largest nuclear plant melt down happen?
The largest nuclear plant meltdown happened at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986. The explosion and subsequent fire released large amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere, resulting in one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.
What are the effects on the nuclear power plant in japan after the tsunami hit?
A nuclear explosion is not possible in the design of a modern nuclear power plant but the problem is radioactive material being released into the atmosphere and nearby environment. If radiation is released into the atmosphere then it can travel many miles from the site of the nuclear plant or into the water system. The cleanup of a nuclear meltdown and radiation leak includes costly monitoring and decontamination of the radiation-affected areas.
A worker at a nuclear power plant has noticed that his dosimeter alarm has been activated. What might this indicate?
Answer this question… Radiation is being released from the reactor.
How did the radiation leak in japan ocurr?
Due to a nuclear power plant.
How many adults could the radiation in one nuclear power plant kill?
455,006,789 in a Japanese plant
What are some of the issues of nuclear power plants?
Nuclear power amounts for a somewhat large portion of our the energy that we use. However, nuclear spills can be devastating. When a nuclear power plant leaks, radioactive material is released into the environment. This material is extremely harmful to humans and can cause many health problems and cancer. Radiation is spread through the air. It can take many years for the harmful material in the environment to go away. One of the most well-known nuclear accidents was the disaster at Chernobyl. Also, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan recently had a spill.
