Did anymore problems arise after the tsunami earthquake in japan 2011?
The tsunami caused damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant resulting in a series of equipment failure, nuclear meltdows, and release of radioactive material into the environment.
What is a nuclear resource?
A nuclear resource is a special element that is ran through a nuclear reactor to power or propel and object. It is an object that appears as if it is radioactive or made from a nuclear element ran through reactors or still running .
Can you get power from the radioactive element Uranium?
Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
What is element No 90 thorium?
Thorium can be used as fertile material (as ThO2) in nuclear power reactors; is a precursor of the fissile isotope 233U. This type of reactor is called a breeder: the reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes. It is a very strange and important characteristic.
How many feet was radioactive material shot in the nuclear explosion at the Russian Chernobl plant in 1986 if radioative material was shot five kilometers?
Radioactive material was shot 16,404.1995 feet in the Chernobl explosion in 1986.
What element is a radioactive element?
The radioactive element is composed of unstable nuclei that try to reach stability through emitting nuclear radiations as alpha, beta, and gamma nuclear radiations.
Did anymore problems arise after the tsunami earthquake in japan 2011?
The tsunami caused damage to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant resulting in a series of equipment failure, nuclear meltdows, and release of radioactive material into the environment.
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.
