The time it takes for land to become rehabilitable after a nuclear explosion varies significantly based on factors like the size of the explosion, the type of nuclear weapon used, and the level of contamination. In some cases, areas may remain unsafe for human habitation for decades or even centuries due to radioactive fallout. However, localized clean-up efforts and natural decay of radioisotopes can lead to rehabilitation in a matter of years to decades. Ultimately, thorough assessment and remediation efforts are essential to determine when an area is safe for habitation.

How much land does a nuclear power plant need?

alot:)


How does an Airplane with its tire burst during take off land?

There would be 2 chooses. If it is not too serious (only one wheel) they can try and land on the remaining wheels. If it is really serious a belly landing would be the next best option.


Can crops be grown on land that has been struck by a nuclear bomb?

Absolutely. However they should be tested for radiological contamination before being eaten. In both Hiroshima and Nagasaki bamboo naturally sprouted from their rhizome in less than a week after the attacks.


What irrigation systems should be used for small land?

If there were a small piece of land on which crops would be grown on, it is best to use the standard form of irrigation but to a much smaller extent. Instead of having a large 1 meter wide canal, it is suggested that the width would be decreased to 30-50 centimeters.


What is arithmetic density?

Arithmetic density is the total number of people divided by the total land area it like this the total population divided by the total land area that is cultivated or in simple TP/TLA It's important because knowing the population and the land that they are inhibiting could help knowing how many towns, or city's they can build for the population in the future. If the land is overpopulated, they would need to find a way to take all those people and fit them in. Also, Knowing how many people take up the land can determine how much agricultural density is needed for the people there or in other places. Normally, when land is overpopulated, more people will want to move there. So knowing the population would prepare them for immigrants to come into the area. Hope this helped.

How does nuclear waste cause land pollution?

It would cause pollution because it would harm men or animals using the land, and would contaminate food produced on the land. However this is not allowed to happen, nuclear waste is carefully controlled and confined to waste stores designed for the purpose


Would Nuclear war help environmental degradation?

I should think nuclear war would cause all sorts of degradation. But one of the results would be contamination of the land with nuclear fall out which would be long lasting and affect generations to come.

How much land can a nuke blow up?

The land area affected by a nuclear explosion depends on the size of the bomb and the height at which it detonates. For example, a one-megaton nuclear bomb could destroy buildings and cause fires over an area of several square miles, while a larger bomb could cause widespread destruction over tens of square miles. The immediate blast zone, radiation fallout, and thermal effects would all contribute to the overall impact on land.


Can land vehicles be nuclear powered?

It is possible but not likely. The dangers in an accident would be far too great.


Can Military land vehicles be nuclear powered?

Sure. Are they? No. There would be no point to it and besides it would be a real problem when someone blew it up.


What happened to the land in Chernobyl?

The land in Chernobyl remains contaminated with high levels of radioactive materials from the 1986 nuclear disaster. This contamination has led to restrictions on human habitation and agricultural activities in the area. Efforts are ongoing to manage and mitigate the long-term impacts of the disaster on the land.


Does the land get damaged after a nuclear explosion?

Yes, If the explosion is on or above the surface of the earth the immediate area is subjected to intense heat and will melt into glass. Also the explosion will disperse radioactive products into the air and this plume will settle out in time polluting the land where it falls. When the explosion is subterranean (the only type allowed once the damage of surface testing was obvious) then the distributed radioactive pollution problem is mitigated but the explosion hollows out a chamber under the ground and causes a pockmark depression above the test site. The earth is big these, these pockmarks are not serious but problems could occur were groundwater to seep through the test area (a risk that is enhance due to the fracturing caused by the explosion) and carry radioactivity to other places. All in all it is best not to test bombs, if you must then use a computer to simulate/model the explosion rather then setting a bomb off.


Does nuclear power need a lot of land?

No.They Do not need a lot of land. A single Nuclear Power plant requires around 640 Acres.


Can a nuke destroy a country?

Yes. 70,000 people were instantly killed at Hiroshima. Another 70,000 at Nagasaki, 3 days later. Nukes can easily wipe away big islands. Basically, nuclear bombs make extremely powerful reactions that release TONS of energy and they could easily wipe away A LOT of land.
