No. Just like dropping a firecracker won't cause it to explode.
It will if it is fused for airburst. This is selected to maximize the area and severity of blast and thermal flash effects.
Nuclear fuel rods can overheat and cause a meltdown, but they do not explode like a bomb. If the core overheats, it can lead to a release of radioactive material into the environment. These scenarios are extremely rare and are prevented through strict safety measures in nuclear power plants.
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded on April 26, 1986. It was the worst nuclear disaster in history.
A typical nuclear fuel rod weighs about 100 pounds (45 kilograms). However, this can vary depending on the specific type of fuel rod and nuclear reactor design.
Highly unlikely if not altogether impossible. In a core meltdown, you might see a steam explosion if the core melts and breaches the containment structure and hits say cooling water. But even a runaway chain reaction in a reactor would not cause a nuclear explosion like a bomb.
No it will not explode. It will just not work anymore
a
coz if nuclear meltdown it can explode
It did explode, but this was due to a surge in steam pressure which blew off the top of the reactor, it was not a nuclear explosion as in a nuclear weapon.
On the next day of Japanese earthquake 2011, the nuclear plant started to explode.
No.
No it is impossible they would explode
1945
No
yes
The bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atomic bombs and not nuclear bombs and were designed to explode above the ground and not on impact.
No
