How many of the reactors exploded?
During the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, three of the reactors experienced hydrogen explosions. These explosions occurred in Reactors 1, 3, and 4.
What was the Fukushima nuclear power plant?
The Fukushima nuclear power plant is a complex of six nuclear reactors located in Fukushima, Japan. It experienced a severe nuclear disaster in March 2011 after a tsunami triggered by an earthquake caused meltdowns in three of its reactors, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material into the environment.
How many nuclear reactors does fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant has and how many exploded?
There are six total and as far as I know from press reports four have been damaged. I think Nos 1,3, and 4 have had hydrogen explosions damaging the buildings. All four have probably had partial meltdown or at least damage to some of the fuel. The state of the primary pressure vessels is unknown but from the figures of high activity water in the basements it does appear there may have been some damage (cracking) of at least one vessel. Nos 5 and 6 reactors have not been reported as far as I know. I suspect this may be because they had already been shutdown a while before the incident so had less decay heat to remove, but this is only a guess.
Where did fukushima happen?
Fukushima is not an event that happened, it is a place, a prefecture, or district, in Japan. There are two Fukushima nuclear power plants. The plant where the accident took place, Fukushima Daiichi, is located in Okuma, Fukushima, Japan.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.

Who designed the reactors in the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant?
General Electric

What are some examples of nuclear disaster?
Some examples of nuclear disasters include the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 where a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded, releasing a significant amount of radioactive material. Another example is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, where a series of equipment failures and a tsunami caused meltdowns at multiple reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. These disasters have had long-lasting environmental and health impacts.
What are Controlled nuclear chain reactions?
Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
How many Japanese nuclear reactors are offline?
Present 2013. None. All are active. Fukushima has been 'Decommissioned'.
Why did the Japan's nuclear plant exploded?
It exploded because, seawater into the cores of the wrecked reactors fast enough to keep up with the steady heating.
How have energy supplies in Japan changed since the tsunami?
Though Fukushima has lost 4 of its Nuclear Reactors, There are many more Nuclear Reactos running in Japan, Secondly Japan is mostly using Coal and Gas to compesate for fukushima.
How many nuclear reactors does japan have?
Before the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster, there were 54 operational nuclear reactors in Japan. Three of those melted down, and one had problems that rendered it inoperable. The government has decided the other two reactors at Fukushima Daiichi cannot be restarted. Also, as other reactors have been shut down for maintenance or refueling, they have not been restarted, with the result that now, in early December 2011, only eight Japanese reactors remain in operation.
What is the word for the molten nuclear fuel plasma that will form in the fukushima reactors?
The solidified fuel and debris that melted in a meltdown is often called lava.

Did the tsunami water reach the nuclear reactors in japan?
Yes. That's how the diesel generators were damaged at Fukushima Daiichi, leading to the current crises there. Note that the reactors themselves were not touched by the tsunami because of the containment structures in place.
