What else can I help you with?
Is there any chance of a nuclear explosion from a nuclear power plant?
No. There is no possibility whatsoever of a nuclear power plant having a nuclear explosion. It is not physically, or even theoretically, possible for the core to be brought into a super-prompt critical geometry and held there long enough to consume enough fuel to "go nuclear".
Can a nuclear reactor detonate the way a nuclear bomb can?
No, a nuclear reactor cannot detonate like a nuclear bomb. Nuclear reactors use controlled fission reactions to generate heat for electricity, while nuclear bombs use uncontrolled chain reactions to create an explosion. The design and purpose of a reactor prevent it from causing a nuclear explosion.
Can a nuclear reactor explode as a nuclear bomb?
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.
Why do twinkies survive a nuclear explosion?
It is a popular theory that the only animal that survives a nuclear explosion is the common roach, which by the way, considers twinkies to be it's favorite food. The roaches protect the twinkies from danger.
What is the range of a nucular explosion?
The range of a nuclear explosion can vary greatly depending on the size of the bomb and the environment in which it detonates. For example, a large nuclear bomb like the Tsar Bomba could have a range of over 50 miles for severe destruction, while smaller bombs may have a more limited range. The blast, heat, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion can cause damage and casualties over a wide area.
Where can car explosion videos be viewed?
While there are no sites that offer a contemplation of car explosion videos, some can be viewed at websites like YouTube as well as other types of explosions.

Was there ever been a nuclear explosion in the US?
There have been many nuclear explosion in the US in places like, Nevada and New Mexico. In anger against the US no. Japan still remains the only country in the world to be bomb in anger with nuclear weapons.

Did chernobyl explode like a bomb?
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.
What damage did the chernobyl disaster do to buildings?
It severely damaged the reactor building and others on the power plant site, but outside the site no damage. Perhaps you think it was a nuclear explosion-it wasn't, it was a steam explosion and whilst it destroyed the reactor it didn't have anything like the blast and heat waves from a nuclear explosion.
Why do twinkies survive a nuclear explosion?
It is a popular theory that the only animal that survives a nuclear explosion is the common roach, which by the way, considers twinkies to be it's favorite food. The roaches protect the twinkies from danger.
What are the effects of EMP explosion on the body?
First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
What is the range of a nucular explosion?
The range of a nuclear explosion can vary greatly depending on the size of the bomb and the environment in which it detonates.

The blast, heat, and radiation effects of a nuclear explosion can cause damage and casualties over a wide area.
How does nuclear power hurt when it explodes?
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
