In the 1980s a nuclear reactor exploded and burned near which town?
Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, was the site of a nuclear reactor fire and radiation leak on April 26, 1986.
How did the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl cause environmental issues in Europe?
it threw radioactive materials into the atmosphere which was spread by the weather
Where are the nuclear power plants in the Philippines?
Philippines has a nuclear power plant, but it does not operate.it can be found in Bataan. it is not operating, because the people of Bataan are afraid of the hazards that might happen. these arepossible accidents, routine emissions of radiation, radioactive wastes and thermal pollution.another reason why it does not operate is because of what had happened in Chernobyl, Russia, wherein, the power plant exploded because of flawed nuclear power plant structure and inadequately trained personnel.
How Swedish discovered Chernobyl?
Sweden Discovered that radioactive particles where entering their country less than 3 days after the accident when employees at one of Swedens nuclear power plants were denied entry into the control room because of radioactive contamination.
What is the radius of damage that the nuclear bomb can do?
It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question for a number of reasons. There is no standard nuclear bomb: the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Little Boy) had a yield of less than 20,000 tons of TNT. In 1961 the USSR exploded a nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) with a yield of 50,000,000 tons of TNT. The damage that a nuclear device can deliver depends on the altitude at which it is detonated. Also, in addition to the immediate effect of the blast, there are long term effects from radioactive debris being blown into the upper atmosphere and coming down later.As an example of the latter, the explosion at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl led to radioactive rainfall in the UK. Such effects will depend on prevailing winds and other weather conditions.
In the 1980s a nuclear reactor exploded near which town?
chernobyl
What are some examples of nuclear disaster?
Some examples of nuclear disasters include the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 where a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material. Another example is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, where a series of equipment failures and a tsunami caused meltdowns at multiple reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. These disasters have had long-lasting environmental and health impacts.
In the 1980 a nuclear exploded and burned near which town?
Chernobyl, in the Ukraine, was the site of a nuclear reactor fire and radiation leak on April 26, 1986.
What was the probable result of the radioactive material released from the Russian Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April 26 1986?
See the UNSCEAR report referenced as a link below

How are the Chernobyl explosion and Japanese earthquake alike?
The both ultimately resulted in the release of radioactive material from a nuclear reactor into the environment.
To find out what happened at chernobyl?
The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. A reactor exploded during a safety test, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion caused widespread contamination and led to the evacuation and resettlement of thousands of people.
What famous disaster happened at Chernobyl in Russia?
There was no famous disaster (or anything else) at Chernobyl in Russia as there is no such place. However for the disaster that occurred in Chernobyl in the Ukraine, please see the related question.
What kind of nuclear plant was Chernobyl?
Chernobyl was a Nuclear Power Plant.
Why is Chernobyl forbidden?
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
In 1986 a nuclear explosion released radiation that killed hundreds of people in and around?
Chernobyl
