Which countries have nuclear waste problems?

All countries that have nuclear reactors have nuclear waste and it is always a problem, though a manageable one.


Why is the f-distribution always positive?

because of the square in the equation


Does nuclear radiation go away?

No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.


How would nuclear waste harm the environment?

Nuclear waste would harm people and animals rather than the environment as such. I have not seen evidence on the effect of radiation on vegetation. Nuclear waste must be well contained and shielded to avoid damaging people, and so long as everyone concerned is careful and responsible, this won't happen.If it leaked into rivers or was spread over farmland it would be ingested by grazing animals and fish and hence would enter the human food chain, and if it became high enough would then start to harm human health.


What are the lyrics to Always sung by butterfly effect?

Always I can feel you.. against my skin, I feel you... Like the poison seeping into Into my veins, numb with the pain Sick and guilty Is the sadness you've given to me... I can feel you... Always... I will learn too late It's too late, to change it Is too late, Still these strange frustration stains Burn my skin when nobody needs me... This sadness, forced to feel Like poison, I'll never heal I will learn too late It's too late, to change it Is too late.. Still these strange frustration stains Burn my skin when nobody needs me... It's always, you're always I'm always and I I need you always, I need you always It's always, you're always, I'm always and I I'm always, Always... Always... I am with you always [x4] Always.. Always.. Always..

When balancing a nuclear equation what two quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear equation?

hi, the law of conservation of matter basically says that matter can't be destroyed or created. in nuclear equations, this is why the mass number and atomic number of the parent isotope always equal the mass number and atomic number of the products. hope this helps


When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?

Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.


Is energy always conserved in the universe?

No - However, energy and mass are conserved. This is dictated by Einstein's most famous equation: ∆E=∆mc2


In any chemical reaction the quantities that are preserved are?

In any chemical reaction the quantities that are conserved are mass and number of atoms. After the correct formula for a reactant in an equation has been written, the formula should not be changed.


What kind of quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?

Equal quantities.


Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?

Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.


Which quantities can always be added or subtracted from both sides of an equation?

Equal


How does a chemical equation show that matter is always conserved in a chemical reaction?

According to the Law of Conservation Of Mass,Matter is neither created nor destroyed.It means a chemical equation show that matter is always conserved in a chemical reaction.It is shown as number of atoms both sides of the reaction before and after remains the same.


When momentum can be conserved?

Momentum is always conserved. No matter what the collision, as long as you look at everything involved, momentum will always be conserved.


Is the parent isotope always radioactive In a nuclear equation?

No, the parent in the nuclear equation is not always radioactive. For example, the following reaction shows a neutron capture by 23Na, which is not radioactive. 1123Na + 01n --> 1124Na where 01n is a neutron.


Is machanical energy always conserved?
