How a nuclear accident occur?
There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
How do you stop or slow the nuclear reaction in a nuclear power plant?
Once a meltdown occurs at a nuclear power plant, there is no way to stop or slow the reaction. However, Nuclear power plants are the most technologically advanced power plants in the history of man-kind. The meltdowns themselves are incredibly rare, but if they do occur the immediate areas are instantly alerted and evacuated. The contamination of the surrounding area is typically not very quick to begin with, as the walls of structures of Nuclear Power Plants are very thick and designed to withstand nearly anything thrown at them. Of anything that could happen, a meltdown at your area Nuclear Power Plant should be at the very bottom on your list of concerns.
Transmutation does not occur in which of these nuclear processes?
Transitions between various stages of electron excitement.
What is a dangerous condition caused by overheating inside a nuclear reactor?
The dangerous condition that can occur in a nuclear reactor and due to overheating is a nuclear meltdown.

Why aren't there more nuclear power plants?
The reason is that there are many people around the world who are uneducated in the nuclear power field and therefore still assume the stereotypical nuclear meltdown or mutations will occur and as such, oppose their construction vehemently. Also, it is quite expensive to develop and build such plants.
What are the signs that a nuclear explosion is about to occur?
Nuclear plants don't explode, they melt down. Nuclear bombs (atom bombs) explode. There won't be any signs that a nuclear explosion is "about to occur"-- there won't be any warning unless defense computers recognize an incoming warhead missile. BUT, still, there won't be signs beforehand. Just look up the bombing of Japan.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear energy
Do nuclear materials occur naturally?
Yes, that is where we get the nuclear material for our reactors, by mining it from the Earth. Though it does not occur in high concentrations, we have to concentrate it ourselves.
Why do some not agree with Japan building and using nuclear power plants?
Some people do not agree with Japan building and using nuclear power plants because twenty percent of the worlds earthquakes occur in Japan which causes dangers for the people living in Japan.
Why does fermentation not occur in plants?
it does occur in plants. alcoholic fermentation is a type of fermentation that many plants go through
What problems occur in the brain?
The problem that occur in the brain is the Mental Problem.
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth

When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
