Decay heat should be removed from the reactor core as soon as possible after the reactor is shut down to prevent fuel damage. If the heat is not removed, it can cause the fuel to overheat and potentially result in damage to the fuel rods, leading to a meltdown. Cooling systems such as circulating water or coolant are used to remove the decay heat from the reactor core.
What else can I help you with?
Why must air not enter the reactor during cracking?
Air should not enter the reactor during cracking to prevent oxidation of the products. Oxidation can lead to undesired reactions and decrease the efficiency of the cracking process. Additionally, oxygen in the air can cause damage to the catalysts used in the reactor.
When should food be removed from sink when using running water to thaw?
When it is completely thawed.
What are the mechanical protections need in reactors?
If a reactor cannot be properly controlled, it will quickly overheat. This is what happend at Chernabyl, Russia. The fuel rods melted into the reactor floor and released a large plume of radio-active steam. The way to immeidatly shut down a reactor is a S.C.R.A.M.(Safety Control Rod Axe Man). A reactor has control rods that exorb radiation and stop the reaction when lowered onto the fuel rods. The first reactor had a rope holding up the control rods. A guy with an axe would chop the rope if the reaction got out of control. Another is shielding. The core is surounded with lead and concrete that shields people from the radiation from the reactor.
Where should you not touch a microscope?
You should not touch the lenses on a microscope, as this can leave fingerprints or smudges that can affect the quality of the image. Additionally, avoid touching the stage or delicate parts of the microscope to prevent damage.
How do they start a nuclear reactor?
With all control rods inserted all the way, begin inserting fuel rods.When the basic minimum operating number of fuel rods have been inserted, insert a continuous neutron source of known intensity.Measure the neutron flux in the reactor and calculate the reactor's neutron multiplication factor to determine how close you are to design predicted critical.Begin withdrawing control rods very slowly, stopping periodically and repeating step 3. Each time the neutron multiplication factor should increase.If the multiplication factor keeps increasing in step 4 while the control rods are stopped, you have reached critical. Remove the neutron source and the neutron flux in the reactor should decline slightly then become constant.You have now safely started your nuclear reactor. Congratulations!If anything unexpected happens reinsert all control rods, remove the neutron source, find and fix the problem, and restart the procedure.

How often should gutters be cleaned to prevent damage to windows?
Gutters should be cleaned at least twice a year to prevent damage to windows.

Should stems be left on oranges?
Well depending upon if you are going to eat it you really shouldn't eat a stem, but beforehand you can leave it on until you eat it. Normally, in harvesting, stems are removed to prevent damage to other fruit.

Ipods should be protected if possible,a case will prevent scratches.
How should printer paper be stored to maintain its quality and prevent damage?
Printer paper should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality and prevent damage. It should be kept flat and protected from dust and other contaminants.
