Air is not allowed to enter a reactor because it can interfere with the chemical reactions happening inside. The presence of oxygen in air can cause unwanted side reactions, alter the desired products, or even lead to explosions in certain cases. Therefore, reactors are typically designed to be air-tight to prevent such issues.

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.


Why shouldn't air enter an reactor?

Air should not enter a reactor because it can introduce oxygen, which can react with certain chemicals or compounds in the reactor, leading to unwanted reactions or potentially dangerous situations. In some cases, air can also disrupt the controlled environment needed for specific chemical reactions to occur properly.

What going to happen if the nuclear power plant melts down?

A meltdown is both good and bad:Good reactor design uses the meltdown to disassemble the fuel into a subcritical mass, causing the reactor to automatically shutdown.Bad reactor design can allow the fuel to enter places it should not go, possibly causing steam explosions, contamination outside the reactor containment, etc.

How deep into the earth has the Chernobyl reactor melted in?

The Chernobyl reactor core melted down into the concrete base of the reactor building, but did not penetrate through it and enter the ground below. The molten core material is now contained within a structure called the "sarcophagus" to prevent further release of radioactive materials.

Why reactor contains argon and not air?

Because - depending on what's in the reactor (you didn't say what type) - elements present in air could react with the contents. Argon - on the other hand - is non-reactive in most circumstances.


Where in Ukraine was there a nuclear explosion?

Chernobyl, however it was not a nuclear explosion. It was a steam explosion that blew the roof off the reactor building and ejected roughly a third of the reactor contents, followed by a graphite fire ignited when air hit the hot graphite moderator of the damaged reactor.
