What are some positives and negatives of having a nuclear reactor on the ring of fire?
because, like right now, if there were to be a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, the reactors could fail and there could be significant nuclear radiation leakage. I really cannot think of why it would be a good idea other than to power cites.
Basically it's a bad idea in the long run...
What else can I help you with?
How can nuclear fission be slowed?
Nuclear fission can be slowed by inserting control rods, such as boron or cadmium, into the reactor core. These control rods absorb neutrons, reducing the number available to initiate fission reactions and thus slowing down the rate of fission in the reactor.
What is the purpose of having redundancy and diversity in nuclear reactors?
Having redundancy and diversity in nuclear reactors helps to improve safety and minimize the risk of accidents. Redundancy ensures that critical systems have backups in case of failures, while diversity involves using different designs or technologies to provide additional layers of protection. This helps to maintain the integrity of the reactor and prevent the potential for catastrophic events.
What are the positives and negatives of having calcium?
Calcium plays a vital part in strengthening your bones and teeth. Without calcium you can get a disease called osteoporosis which is a calcium deficiency they become very brittle without it.
What is induced nuclear fission?
We might think of induced nuclear fission as a fission reaction that occurs when a neutron is captured by, say, a uranium-235 atom and that atomic nucleus undergoes fission as a result. Most all of the fission events within a nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon are induced. Given this, we might then compare that fission event to a spontaneous fission event wherein the atomic nucleus of a uranium-235 atom spontaneously undergoes fission without having captured a neutron.
How can the fission be controlled or stopped in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction is controlled using neutron absorbing control rods containing boron, and in PWR's by also using soluble boron when necessary. Nuclear engineers use a term called reactivity, which just means the surplus of neutrons from one generation to another, and in steady operation this is zero. During the fission reactions fission products are produced, some of these are neutron absorbers like Xenon131, and their concentration changes with power changes, so that adjustments with the control rods are necessary following such changes. On start-up with new fuel for example it takes some hours before equilibrium xenon is reached, and if power has to be reduced the xenon rises again as a delayed action, so enough control to overcome the increased poisoning has to retained, or the reactor will shut itself down. The reactivity with new fuel loaded is higher than at the end of the fuel life, and this is where boric acid added to the reactor water circuit is useful. The reactor power (neutron flux level) is constantly monitored with instruments so that the control room staff know what is happening and can respond. In addition automatic safety circuits are triggered if there is an increase in flux beyond a certain point which the operators don't react to, and this inserts the control rods fully (scram or trip) which shuts the reactor down and holds it down. So there is no chance of a runaway.
What are the positives and negatives of having a car?
Positive: Provides transportation Negatives: Pollutes air Must pay when broken Must pay for tires Leads to deaths
Who invented the minus symbol?
An Iraqi guy invented it to help people who are having trouble figuring out negatives, positives and zeros
Why does the core of the reactor have a moderator?
The core of the reactor contains the nuclear fuel. Having a moderator in place within the core ensures that the nuclear fuel is processed at an accurate time duration. This can prevent serious problems from occurring within the entire nuclear reactor.
What are the positives or negatives of having a vegetarian diet?
A posistive from this is that you are able to lose weight but a negetive is not being able to eat your favourite meats.
What is the definition of wise?
Having wisdom. If you are wise, you make a good, sensible decision after thinking about its positives and negatives. For example, "Harry was wise because he chose to do his homework."
When do you say that a value is absolute?
A value is "absolute" if it can only be the positive numerical value of a number. (Sometimes this is also referred to as the "modulus"). For example, the absolute value of -8 is 8. It changes all negatives into positives, but does NOT change positives into negatives. Absolute values are useful for calculating distances, since having a negative distances is fairly useless...
What happens to nuclear energy before it is used?
Nuclear energy is released as heat in the fuel of a nuclear reactor, but only when the reactor has been brought to criticality and the chain reaction started. At that point the heat must be used, it can't be stored and used later. Before criticality is established, the reactor is shutdown and producing no nuclear heat from fission, so you could regard it as having potential nuclear energy in that state
What are the negatives and positives to having your country being taken over by a larger country so they can expand there social political and economic policies?
There would be many different negatives and positives to having your country taken over by a larger country so that they can expand their own social, political, and economic policies. In general, it could be a potentially good thing, if the larger country has positive motives. It is also negative for the people who live there that will lose some of their cultural identity and heritage.
How do you use nuclear energy safely for longer time?
By having a reasonable distance between the nuclear reactor and the consumers. For example, 150 million kilometers should be relatively safe.
What are the advantages and disadvantages in having a natural nuclear reactor?
natural nuclear reactors are not possible now as the concentration of fissionable Uranium-235 in unenriched natural Uranium ore is too low.
Does a polar molecule have two positive sides?
Some molecules are quadrapolar, having two positives and two negatives. Most small polar molecules, like water, have one dominant positive side.
Why does Japan have many nuclear reactors?
The reason for having many reactors is because you can produce more electrical energy from them. Also Japan use BWR type reactors(Boiling Water Reactor) which are not as efficent as a more commonly used PWR reactor(Pressurized Water Reactor).
