The Chernobyl reactor lid weighed about 1,000 tons when it was in place.
The 4 lbs burger weighs 4 pounds.
Socrates' weight is not known as there are no historical records that provide details on his physical characteristics. Additionally, weight is a sensitive topic and it is important to focus on his philosophical contributions rather than his physical attributes.
The weight of a mattress after 10 years of use can vary depending on the type and quality of the mattress, as well as how well it has been maintained. On average, a mattress can gain 10-20 pounds over a 10-year period due to the accumulation of dust, sweat, dead skin cells, and other debris.
Socrates was known to wear a simple woolen tunic called a chiton, which was a common attire for the ancient Greeks. He was often barefoot and did not place much importance on material possessions or physical appearances.
"Life is a highway" is often used as a metaphor to reflect the journey of life, with its ups and downs, twists and turns. It symbolizes the idea that life is a continuous journey with its own set of challenges and opportunities, much like a road trip. Just as we navigate through different terrains while driving on a highway, we also navigate through different experiences and obstacles in our lives.
There was no famous disaster (or anything else) at Chernobyl in Russia as there is no such place. However for the disaster that occurred in Chernobyl in the Ukraine, please see the related question.
It is the only case where a reactor has been completely disrupted so that the fuel was ejected or melted, with massive release of radioactivity. It was much much worse than Three Mile Island, or the Windscale reactor fire in the UK.
Bought one for my son, weighs 26 lbs. Measured with a digital scale.
The worst damaged reactor would require complete demolition and rebuilding to repair it and the levels of radiological contamination in the area are unsafe for such work and of a nature as to make cleanup impractical. The best course of action at this time is encapsulation of the reactor to prevent further contamination of the surrounding area (much like at Chernobyl).
Chernobyl Diaries grossed $38,390,020 worldwide.
Chernobyl Diaries grossed $18,119,640 in the domestic market.
Nowhere as far as I can find. Perhaps you are thinking of the 1986 Chernobyl steam explosion and graphite fire. This was in the USSR and although the graphite fire melted much of the core, it was not a meltdown in the usual sense associated with nuclear reactors.
All of it.
By not doing that carelessly planned turbine rundown experiment immediately after shutdown of the reactor and postponing it until just before restartup would have been much safer. But there are dozens of other single things that could have also prevented.
There were four reactors put into operation, nos 5 and 6 were never completed. The initial startup and final shutdown years for each reactor were: No 1 1977 to 1996. No 2 1978 to 1991. No 3 1981 to 2000. No 4 1983 to 1986. (No 4 was the damaged one). Nos 1,2,and 3 continued to operate, the country needed the power. No 2 was shutdown because of a turbine hall fire, not a reactor problem, Nos 1 and 3 were shutdown after international pressure to do so.
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone covers an area of approximately 1,000 square miles. The most radioactive areas are around the reactor site itself, as well as the nearby town of Pripyat. Outside of these areas, radiation levels vary but are generally lower.
A steam explosion followed by graphite fire that destroyed an RBMK nuclear power reactor, dispersing most of the radioactive material in the reactor's core across the Ukraine and much of Europe. The firefighters and many other emergency workers called to the site died from radiation poisoning. The causes of the disaster are complex including an unsafe design, improperly performing a test, repeated failure to follow safe operating procedures, having a manager in charge of the test with no nuclear reactor experience (his training was in hydroelectric power), etc.
