Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Is the Chernobyl nuclear plant still operating?
No
What is the name of the nuclear power plant built in 1979?
The last plant built in the US began construction in 1977. That's the "River Bend" plant in Lousiana.
What happend in chernobyl?
there was a meltdown at a nuclear plant that caused irrevoable damage and nuclear posioning for generations to come. It is still considered dangerous to go there.
Where was the location of a nuclear accident that pumped 50 times more radioactive material into the environment than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined?
Chornobyl or Chernobyl, is categorized as a city in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast Province, near the border with Belarus. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. It is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The effects of the disaster at Chernobyl were very widespread. The World Health Organization found that the radiation release from the Chernobyl accident was 200 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined. The fallout was also far-reaching. For a time, radiation levels in a Scotland were 10,000 times the norm. 30 lives were directly lost during the accident or within a few months after it. Many of these lives were those of the workers trying to put out the graphite fire and were lost from radiation poisoning.
Whom is the Atomic Energy Plant named after?
The Atomic Energy Plant is named after physicist Enrico Fermi, who is known for his contributions to nuclear physics and for his work on the first controlled nuclear chain reaction.
What is the oak ridge nuclear plant?
It is the facility built to produce nuclear material for the US Atomic weapons program.
When was nuclear energey first used?
The atomic bombs dropped on Japan in WW2 (1945)
Atomic power plant in rajasthan is situated in?
The atomic power plant in Rajasthan is situated in Rawatbhata. It is operated by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) and has several units generating nuclear power for the region.
What does the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant have in common?
Both the atomic bomb and nuclear power plant rely on nuclear fission to produce energy. The atomic bomb is designed to release a massive amount of energy in a short time, causing destruction, while a nuclear power plant harnesses controlled nuclear reactions to generate electricity for communities.
The discovery of the principle of nuclear fission led to the production of the atomic bomb and the construction of nuclear power plant?
Yes, I think that can be said
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
Why would you want a scientist working on a nuclear power plant?
Governments want scientists to work on a nuclear power plant to lessen the dependence of fossil fuels. The product of nuclear power plants are atomic energy, a clean energy alternative.
Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
No, a nuclear power plant producing electricity is an example of nuclear fission, not fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing energy, whereas in nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combine to release energy.
Where is Tarapore atomic power plant located?
Tarapore nuclear power plant is located in maharashtra,India,Asia,Earth,Milkiway galaxy,The universe
What happen to the nuclear power plant in the tsunami in 2011?
One of the Japanese nuclear Power plant was unstable so a chemical mixed in it and boom! The whole thing blew up!!
What would happen to a nuclear plant if the fission reaction goes critical or out of control?
There are emergency safety system that could be used to bring the nuclear plant again under control.
