The Dimmitt, Texas tornado of April 14, 2017 was rated EF3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, equivalent to an F3 on the Fujita scale. The tornado itself was estimated to be a little bit over a mile wide.
The Earth's orbit has a relatively low eccentricity compared to some other planets in our solar system. For example, Mercury and Mars have more eccentric orbits than Earth. Venus and Jupiter have orbits that are almost circular, with very low eccentricities.
This calculation can be done by thinking of the problem in terms of an equation. The speed of sound with an air medium is 1236km/hr, and the total distance needing to be traveled is 5.80 meters. Let's break down the 1236km/hr. This means that sound travels roughly 20.6km/minute. That's roughly 343 meters per second. It would take a sound less than .017 seconds to return to the point of origin.

There are two primary safety features in nuclear power plants. One is some kind of containment structure for the primary system, and the other is some kind of emergency cooling system to cool the nuclear core if things go sideways. The containment structure is designed to keep primary coolant from a major leak in the primary coolant system (and the colant will be radioactive to some degree) from escaping. As bad as that is, the primary mission of containment is to keep nuclear material, which may have broken free of the fuel elements in the core during a meltdown, from getting out into the environment. The clever engineering design and the strength of the reinforced concrete structure are supposed to keep things "under wraps" if it all goes to heck in a handbasket and the primary system is breached. The emergency cooling (XC) systems are designed to cool the fuel elements in the event of a major loss of coolant accident (LOCA). Failure of the primary cooling system could mean a meltdown. We need a way to pump lots of clean, cool water into the reactor vessel to directly cool the fuel if primary coolant is lost. High pressure pumps and a large volume of stored water are needed. Now that we've touched on the containment structure and the emergency cooling system, let's back up a bit. In a reactor, the primary useful product is heat, and we use the primary coolant to carry the heat off to generate steam in a secondary system. When a reactor is shut down after having operated at high power for more than a modest length of time, the fuel in the core still generates an immense amount of heat, and will do so for days after shutdown. The amount of heat is so great that without cooling following a rapid shutdown from extended high power use, the fuel will effortlessly generate enough heat to melt the fuel and the metal inside which it is clad. (That why we need the XC system - to cut this off.) Failure of the fuel cladding will spill the fission products, which are highly radioactive and remain so for many decades or even centuries, into the core. And without cooling, this material will literally "burn through" the reactor vessel itself and end up outside the metal barriers provided by the reactor vessel and all the heavy piping through which the primary coolant flows. If this stuff escapes confinement in the primary system's plumbing, it is hoped that containment inside a "dome" or "blockhouse" of sufficient volume and made of thick, reinforced concrete will hold it. And that's why we have those big, heavy structures in place. The two "biggies" out of the way, we'll need lots of reactor monitoring equipment to keep track of all aspects of the system. There will be temperature and pressure monitoring equipment, and a ton of indicators as to what is open or shut, running or off, high in level or low in level, and more. This equipment will need to be well maintained and will need to work around the clock. We will need radiation monitoring equipment, and we'll need chemical analysis on site to check the status of the coolant and primary plant chemistry on a continuous basis. We will need a well-trained staff who are intimately familiar with all the (well written) operating and contingency procedures for the plant. All the safety features designed into a system and incorporated during construction go for naught if faulty equipment fools operators, or if the operators don't appreciate what their instruments are telling them and act (or react) incorrectly during any evolution of "excursion" they are involved in. Let's all hope everyone does everything right and that everything works correctly. And all of that at all times.

Well, honey, 17 percent more or less the same as 017 is just another way of saying that the number is roughly equivalent to 17. So, yes, 17 percent more or less the same as 017. Math can be a real hoot sometimes, can't it?
