because without the cooling effect produced most often by the addition of water, the heat produced by the nuclear energy production process will cause the nuclear substance (plutonium, uranium and other sources) to melt down and produce extremely dangerous radioactive gases into the natural and social environment. an example of this exact situation occurring is the incident in Fukushima, Japan 2011. Where an earthquake and tsunami disrupted energy production and cooling facilities causing partial meltdowns of the plants radioactive core and the release of radioactive gases into the lower atmosphere.

Where can the Cruzin Cooler be bought?
Cruzin-Coolers can be purchased in many places. Sites like Amazon and eBay sell Cruzin Coolers at a cheap prices. Cruzin Coolers are also available for purchase on the cruzin cooler website.
What is the most important characteristic of a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear reactions involve the reaction of nuclei and does not involve transfer of electron as in regular chemical reactions.
Who is Carlito R Aleta?
Dr. Carlito Aleta was the former director and is the current consultant of the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. His main contribution towards chemistry and science is his research into nuclear engineering. With a BSc in Chemical Engineering from the Central Colleges of the Philippines, Aleta has had a big influence on the studies of his subject. Nuclear engineering is an area of engineering that is based around the application of the breakdown, or fission, as well as the application of other sub-atomic physics and the fusion of atomic nuclei. Its studies are based on the principles of nuclear physics. Within the sub-field of nuclear fission, nuclear engineering focuses on the maintenance and interaction of systems and components. These may include nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors. The field of nuclear engineering also includes studies of medical and other applications of nuclear safety, radiation, nuclear fuel, heat and thermodynamics transport, other related technology (radioactive waste disposal) and the problems of nuclear proliferation. The nuclear branch of engineering is often broken down into four main professional areas. These areas are nuclear fission, nuclear medicine and medical physics, nuclear materials and nuclear fuel, and radiation measurements and dosimetry. Nuclear fission studies deal with the disintegration of an atom's nucleus into two separate, smaller elements. Common types include thermal fission, fast fission and spontaneous fission. Within medical physics there are a number of ways nuclear engineering plays an important role. Nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and x-ray machines are all closely related to the subject. Nuclear materials and nuclear fuels are used to obtain an increased efficiency and safety in nuclear plants. Nuclear engineers are keen to develop the radiation measurements that are available to improve imaging technologies. Dr. Carlito Aleta is part of the ever developing and experimenting branch of engineering that is nuclear engineering. His contributions are important for the understanding of the topic.
Use nuclear in a sentence?
It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.
What do you mean by nuclear accidents and can you explain two basic types of nuclear weapons?
A nuclear accident is the unintended release of nuclear radiation into the environment, such as damage to a nuclear reactor or to a nuclear weapon (plane crash carrying nuclear bombs, etc). The two basic forms of nuclear weapons are fission and fusion weapons.
