Can you shut down a nuclear power plant?
Yes, nuclear power plant can be shut down.
Did a nuclear plant ever exploded in the US?
No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
What is nuclear energy prohibitive?
The term "nuclear energy prohibitive" means nuclear energy cannot be used. The exact reason depends on circumstances, but, in most cases, the problem is that nuclear power plant's output is constant, so, for example, if a nuclear plant powers a city, you need to divert excess power at night, when that city's consumption goes down. Hence, municipal electricity is nuclear energy prohibitive.
What is water solid condition in nuclear power plant?
The condition known as going solid means that the reactor is shut down and cooled down, and the pressurizer is completely filled with water. The pressurizer is a component of the nuclear power plant that maintains high pressure on the coolant to keep it from flashing into steam. There is a steam bubble (a large volume) in the top of the pressurizer when the plant is online. Once cooled down and depressurized, we can pump more coolant into the plant to completely fill the pressurizer. The plant is then said to go solid when this happens.
What is nuclear power plant decommissioning?
It is safely disposing of the bits of a burned out power station. (As nuclear fission gives off neutrons, anything near a nuclear fission reaction itself becomes radioactive over time, so it is a big job to take down a power station safely)
Can you shut down a nuclear power plant?
Yes, nuclear power plant can be shut down.
What happen to the nuclear power stations in japan?
they are in a nuclear melt down, things are still really bad on that area
Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?
The chain reaction can be controlled, and it can be stopped. It is controlled in a nuclear power plant, and it is stopped when the plant shuts down, as it does periodically for refueling.
Down Falls Related to Nuclear Energy?
I don't know any place or plant called Down Falls - can you explain question?
Which nuclear power plant in the US was condemned?
Due to an accident that began at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, March 28, 1979, Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant was Condemned and permanently shut down.
Did a nuclear plant ever exploded in the US?
No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
What makes a nuclear plant dangerous?
A nuclear melt down puts the people within hundreds of miles around at risk by being exposed to radiation and dying from it.
Is nuclear power production continuous?
yes it is for about up to 40 years when the nuclear cooling tanks become full. Then can deposit the nuclear rods somewhere in lead cases or just shut down the plant.
What is nuclear energy prohibitive?
The term "nuclear energy prohibitive" means nuclear energy cannot be used. The exact reason depends on circumstances, but, in most cases, the problem is that nuclear power plant's output is constant, so, for example, if a nuclear plant powers a city, you need to divert excess power at night, when that city's consumption goes down. Hence, municipal electricity is nuclear energy prohibitive.
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.
How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
What happen when plant lying down?
I am not completely sure but it may be due to over watering.
