Why does a mountain of uranium not explode as bomb?
Your question is unclear and cannot be answered as written.However depending on what you mean by go nuclear I might be able to offer some possible answers:If by go nuclear you mean undergo a nuclear explosion, the answer is an unequivocal NO.If by go nuclear you mean go critical, the answer it yes, any operating nuclear reactor is always exactly critical all the time it is operating. If it was subcritical it would shut itself down, if it was supercritical safety systems would return it to exactly critical or if they failed it would meltdown.All of the explosions that have occurred at reactors have been either:Steam explosionsHydrogen explosions
Can a solar eclipse make you go blind?
It won't make you go blind - but - staring at the Sun for any length of time will damage your eyesight.
Can a human eye function in total darkness?
No, we were not made to live that way. Eventually you would go blind.
Do the spores of puffballs make you go blind?
yes
What process does nuclear energy go through?
If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.
Is there any chance of a nuclear explosion from a nuclear power plant?
No. There is no possibility whatsoever of a nuclear power plant having a nuclear explosion. It is not physically, or even theoretically, possible for the core to be brought into a super-prompt critical geometry and held there long enough to consume enough fuel to "go nuclear".
What happens when you watch tv?
Your eyes will get sore, tired, then go blind!
What can nuclear energy do to people?
go watch hills hav eyes
How big is a nuclear bomb explosion?
Nuclear bombs come in various sizes; the smaller ones have explosions equivalent to thousands of tons of dynamite; the larger ones go up to the millions of tons.
How could football do something better for teens?
Go and watch the movie "The Blind Side" with Sandra.
How is television bad for you?
If you stare at the TV to long ,it can make you go blind. Dont watch to much TV !?!?!
What would be the social consequences if a nuclear power plant exploded?
First and foremost, it is impossible for a nuclear power plant to explode. i.e. to go nuclear, because it is impossible for it to stay in prompt critical geometry long enough to consume the fuel for a runaway reaction to occur. Period. Not possible. Even if a terrorist organization infiltrated the facility and blew it up, that would be a chemical explosion, not a nuclear explosion. Yes, there would be release of radioactive materials to the environment, but it would not be a nuclear detonation as from a nuclear bomb. Get your heads straight around that. Its just not possible. The geometry is all wrong.
What is a fallout room?
It was more commonly known during the cold war but it is a room in a house or shelter that protects from nuclear fall out from a nuclear explosion. If an explosion were to occur one would have to stay their for two or three weeks before they could go out side. The room would be stocked with food and water and one usually has a battery powered radio.
How can you go instantly blind?
everything can go blind in a waycan you go blind if you stay in the darkness?yes
When a rocket is launched is it physical chemical or nuclear change?
when fireworks go off, the energy released show a chemical reaction. gasses such as carbon dioxide and particles of smoke go up in the air.
Can you use tanning protection glasses to watch the eclipse?
No beacause you could go blind or hurt your eyes,go to a glasses shop and get special eclipse glasses they sell
What can cause a nuclear power plant blow up?
A steam explosion from flash evaporation of coolant water. This is what blew up Chernobyl.A chemical hydrogen/oxygen gas explosion caused by build up of hydrogen gas in the plant when water decomposes on contact with overheated zirconium fuel rod cladding.A nuclear explosion in a nuclear reactor is not possible, the fuel cannot be assembled into a supercritical mass configuration fast enough (~1ms) as this would require explosives. If the reactor core did suddenly go slightly supercritical, the energy release would simply cause a brief partial meltdown, restoring the material to a subcritical configuration. This could trigger a steam explosion that ejected parts of the reactor core (as happened at Chernobyl) but no nuclear yield would occur.
