Can a nuclear power plant turn into a atomic bomb?

No, a reactor is operated at critical and a bomb at supercritical. Also reactors include safety shutdown systems that quickly make them subcritical stopping the reaction.However reactors can have steam explosions and hydrogen/oxygen explosions. These are physical and chemical explosions respectively, not nuclear.


What are the different types of seconds?

The different types of seconds include astronomical seconds (based on Earth's rotation), atomic seconds (based on atomic clocks), and ephemeris seconds (based on the motion of celestial bodies). These types of seconds are used in various fields such as astronomy, physics, and timekeeping.


Is it possible for a nuclear power plant to blow up like an atomic bomb?

No.. Entirely impossible. There've been a couple meltdowns such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, A few scattered partial meltdowns, and a bunch of Russian Submarines. But the reactor is in no way designed to explode. They have to MAKE it explode for atomic bombs. You can't just pick up some uranium and set it on fire and hope it blows up. Explosions can happen and kick radioactive material around, but there won't be some huge mushroom cloud a mile wide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown for more information.
