What step was taken to insure the nuclear reactor was safe in chernobyl?
The RBMK reactors at Chernobyl were probably the most unsafe reactors ever designed and built. They should never have been built.
What are some of the dangers inherent in a nuclear reactor?
There are a few dangers that are inherent in a nuclear reactor. The major danger inherent in a nuclear reactor is the effects of radiation. Radiation poisoning can be extremely deadly and harmful. Other inherent dangers include radioactive waste and the potential catastrophic damage of an accident such as at Chernobyl.
What are a completely mixed flow reactor and its concentration characterisrtics?
a completely mixed reactor. the concentration in the reactor is the same that flows our of the reactor
What kind of nuclear plant was Chernobyl?
Chernobyl was a Nuclear Power Plant.
Are generation 3 nuclear plants safe?
Most nuclear power plants are quite safe. The only ones that were inherently unsafe ware the Soviet-made power stations similar to Chernobyl, which did not include a reactor containment building. The nuclear powerplant at Fukushima Daichi in Japan was crippled not by a failure of the nuclear reactor, but by the tsunami following the magnitude 9+ earthquake. The plant survived the earthquake, and the plant operators shut down the reactor, but a nuclear reactor generates a LOT of heat, and takes a while to cool off. When the reactor isn't providing power to run the coolant pumps, external power must be supplied to run the pumps to cool the reactor. Fukushima Daichi had backup diesel generators for this purpose, and power from the electrical grid as a backup - but the tsunami knocked out the generators and knocked down the power grid all along the coastline. The new reactor designs are not susceptible to failure when the coolant pumps go offline.
When did reactor number 4 explode?

How far was the school in chernobyl from the reactor?
The school in Chernobyl, Pripyat, was located around 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) away from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant reactor that exploded in 1986.
When did the chernobyl reactor incident happen?
1986
Is number 4 reactor still burning in Chernobyl?
No, the Chernobyl Number 4 reactor is not burning. The reactor was destroyed in the catastrophic explosion in April 1986, and it has since been encased in a concrete sarcophagus and later a more permanent structure called the New Safe Confinement, completed in 2016. While the site remains radioactive and poses environmental hazards, there is no ongoing fire or nuclear reaction occurring in the reactor.
What was the worst reactor accident in history?
the reactor accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant.
What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
Did people melt in the chernobyl?
No, nothing happened like melting of people in Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.
