In 1986 a nuclear explosion released radiation that killed hundreads of people in?
The 1986 steam explosion and fire in Chernobyl was NOT a nuclear explosion.
The plant in Ukraine was undergoing tests with its safety systems disabled. An unexpected surge in reactivity caused a pressure spike in the cooling system, bursting its steam pipes and ejecting much of the core through the roof. The exposed graphite moderator in the core then caught fire. The smoke from that fire carried hundreds of tons of long halflife radioisotopes all over Europe and eventually around the world.
What else can I help you with?
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
Are nuclear radiation and nuclear power the samething?
No, nuclear radiation has existed sense the first stars in the early universe began fusing hydrogen. Nuclear power is an industry created by man only in the early 1950s.
Is containment the cure the to nuclear radiation in chernobyl?
yes if we build a dome around the nuclear reactor we may be able to contain the radiation but we will not be able to clean up the radiation left over already.
What is the harmful radiation released by nuclear wastes?
There are various kinds of harmful ionizing radiation. These include alpha, beta, and gamma rays; free neutrons; X-rays; and ultraviolet light. Depending on the specifics of the waste, nuclear waste can emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and neutrons.
What were the affects on people 3-4 miles from the explosion in Chernobyl?
The effects of the Chernobyl nuclear plant melt down were catastophic to the population. The plant lesked high levels of radiation in the area. People who lived near the plant were at risk of getting cancer.
In 1986 a nuclear explosion released radiation that killed hundreds of people in and around?
Chernobyl
Other than radiation is a nuclear explosion more destructive than a conventional explosion with the same yield and is the way the energy is being released portioned differently in a nuclear explosion?
Yes. an X kiloton of Nuclear bomb vs X kiloton of RDX/TNT. Nuclear Explosion is more destructive because apart from Shock wave and cloud of fire it will make the entire region Radio Active which will not only destroy the life and life forms currently present but will ruin that area for ages to come.
What causes the gretest damage in an exsplosion?
The radiation if it is a nuclear explosion.
What causes the radiation in a nuclear blast?
The radiation in a nuclear blast comes from the release of energy during the explosion. This energy can create various types of radiation, such as gamma rays, beta particles, and neutrons. The radioactive materials involved in the blast can also contribute to the radiation released.
What illnesses did people get because of the pollution from the nuclear explosion?
Most illnesses were cancer related because of the ionising radiation in the nuclear fall-out after the explosion.
What The total energy released in a nuclear explosion is the explosions?
The total energy released in a nuclear explosion comes from the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy can be in the form of blast, heat, and radiation. The magnitude of this energy release can be enormous, depending on the size and yield of the nuclear device.
How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself
Is there gamma radiation in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs produce gamma radiation as a result of the nuclear fission or fusion reactions that release high-energy photons. Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that accompanies the explosion of nuclear devices.
Are nukes radioactive?
Yes, nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors produce radiation as a byproduct of nuclear reactions. This radiation can be in the form of gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. Therefore, exposure to nuclear weapons or the fallout from a nuclear explosion can result in harmful levels of radiation.
What is nulcear fallout?
it is what happents after a nuclear explosion usually involving radiation poisoning to the surounding area
Will radiation cause the salvation or destruction of mankind?
No. The chances are unlikely. 0.0000039% Is the chance for an nuclear Explosion.
What is the worst thing about radiation?
Well the worst thing about nuclear radiation is when explodes from a nuclear bomb not only the explosion do damage the radiation destroyes molecules get people really sick and kill the that's why it's so dangerous
