What are the effects on the nuclear power plant in japan after the tsunami hit?
A nuclear explosion is not possible in the design of a modern nuclear power plant but the problem is radioactive material being released into the atmosphere and nearby environment. If radiation is released into the atmosphere then it can travel many miles from the site of the nuclear plant or into the water system. The cleanup of a nuclear meltdown and radiation leak includes costly monitoring and decontamination of the radiation-affected areas.
Compare the energy of a 1-megaton hydrogen bomb to the energy released by a major earthquake?
A magnitude 8 earthquake releases approximately the same energy as a 15 megaton nuclear explosion (e.g. Castle Bravo test in 1954). This is the same as fifteen 1 megaton nuclear explosions. Note: the photo above is of a 0.5 megaton nuclear explosion.
What happened on Japan?
Earthquake / tsunami, last i checked the death toll is around 6 thousand. The countries nuclear reactors are begining to overheat and are projected to explode soon
How many missing in Japan earthquake 2011?
The tsunami on 11 March 2011 caused damage and ultimately shutdown of three nuclear reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex in Japan. Residents within a 20 km (12 mi) radius of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant were requested to evacuate during the accident.
How did the March 2011 Japan earthquake affect people's lives?
It ruined their homes, the stores, their people, and their lives. Many towns along the coastal regions were completely destroyed. The death of friends, family, and local people caused upset in the survivors. There were those who after getting to safe ground from the earthquake, died because they had nowhere to run from the tsunami. There was a nuclear panic after a nuclear power plant went down. The people feared radiation poisoning from the leakage or radiation into the water.

Is nuclear power plants dangerous to operate?
not normally if it is designed correctly and the operators are following the rules.
Can nuclear submarines meltdown?
Under the worst possible conditions, a meltdown can occur in a nuclear submarine. It is an event of low probability, however.
What is a nuclear reactor meltdown?
A nuclear meltdown is an informal term for a severe nuclear reactor accident that results in core damage from overheating. A meltdown occurs when the heat generated by a nuclear reactor exceeds the heat removed by the cooling systems to the point which at least one nuclear fuel plate exceeds its melting point.
Where was there a near nuclear meltdown?
Chernobyl, Russia
Where was the most recent Nuclear Meltdown?
Russia
Will Osaka become the new capital city of Japan following the nuclear meltdown?
According to some sources among the diplomats, this is a likely scenario.
