No, that site with its four RBMK type reactors is shutdown. Chernobyl had the only RBMK type reactors in the country. Unit 4 was destroyed in the 1986 accident, unit 2 was shut down after a turbine hall fire in 1991, unit 1 was closed in 1997 and unit 3 closed at the end of 2000 due to international pressure.

Ukraine does have operating reactors but they are all PWR type now.

Would nuclear reaction in japan affect Canada?

I believe the nuclear stuff will harm the whole world. When you look at a globe, Japan is not HALFWAY around the world, just a quarter. People have started running from BC. BE PREPARED.


How are nuclear reactions controlled?

Nuclear reactors are controlled by changing the geometry of the fuel rods to slow down the reaction, dropping them into moderators, or removing them from the hot part of the reactor. The old phrase (from my day) was "ax the mandrel, she's running HOT!" meaning drop all the fuel rods into the moderator structure.


Why do you need control rods?

Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the rate of the nuclear reaction by absorbing neutrons. By inserting or removing the control rods, operators can regulate the fission process and manage the reactor's power output. This helps maintain stability and prevent the reactor from overheating or running out of control.

Is the Jervis Nuclear Power Plant still running?

Do you mean Jervis Bay in Australia? There was a proposal to build a plant there about 30 years ago but it never was even started. Australia has no nuclear power plants.


If a running back fumbles the ball and the other team recovers are the yards gained prior to the fumble counted for the running backs stats?

Yes. The running back will get credit for the number of yards past the line of scrimmage the fumble occurred. If the line of scrimmage was at the defense's 20 yard line and the fumble occurred at the defense's 14 yard line, the running back would be credited with 6 yards rushing. If the line of scrimmage was at the defense's 14 yard line and the fumble occurred at the defense's 20 yard line, the running back would be credited with -6 yards rushing.


Why does a nuclear fission reaction generally not result in an uncontrolled chain reaction?

A nuclear fission reaction generally does not result in an uncontrolled chain reaction because of the release of binding energy. This contributes heat and energy into the reaction, which tends to reduce the density of the fissile material, i.e. making it larger, and thus making it subcritical.The hard part in creating an uncontrolled fission reaction is in holding the fissile material in a supercritical geometry long enough to convert all of it. This requires enormous pressure and high technology.Also, the result of a fission reaction includes neutrons that are often too energetic to properly go on and create subsequent reactions. In a controlled reaction, a moderator is required to "slow down" the neutrons. In an uncontrolled reaction, the dynamics are such that only prompt neutrons are needed to support the chain reaction, a state we call super prompt criticality, but in order to sustain this, the enrichment of the fuel must be above a certain level, typically greater than 20 percent U-235. Modern weapons are in the high 80's and 90's percent.

Why does Florida use nuclear energy?

You could extend this question to ask "why is the world using nuclear energy"? The answer is simply because - we are running out of resources to create energy. Coal, gas and oil are running low. Renewable sources such as wind, geothermal, solar and hydro do not produce enough to cover all of the population. The answer, for now until we discover new means of harvesting energy is nuclear.


What particular type of atom do nuclear power plants take nuclear energy from?

Uranium-235 when started. After running a while they also burn transuranics like Plutonium-239 and Americium-241.


Why does a river have nuclear energy?

Rivers do not naturally have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is generated through nuclear reactions in power plants, not from rivers themselves. Rivers may be used for cooling purposes in nuclear power plants, but they do not generate nuclear energy on their own.
