chernobyl
Reactor period is the time is takes for a reactor's power to increase by a factor of e (2.71828).
a reactor is generally termed as an autoclave reactor,when it is a high pressure batch reactor.mostly this kind of reactors are used for sterilization the reactants..
Probable you think to a breeder reactor; this type of nuclear reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes.
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.

Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, was the site of a nuclear reactor fire and radiation leak on April 26, 1986.
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
It was on 26 April 1986 at 01:23:45 a.m. (Moscow time) that the number four reactor at the plant exploded. A link can be found below.

The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 was a partial meltdown resulting from equipment malfunctions and operator errors, with no immediate fatalities and limited off-site impact. In contrast, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was a full-scale meltdown caused by a flawed reactor design and operator errors, resulting in immediate deaths, widespread radioactive contamination, and long-term health and environmental consequences.
No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
well, the rods were inserted wrong. this caused heat and steam build up. one reactor exploded and the other three following.
I think four of the six on site, but they have not all had the same problems. The explosions were actually in the reactor buildings, not inside the reactor pressure vessels, and these explosions were due to hydrogen accumulating and forming an explosive mixture with air
