Was the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl the same as other reactors around the world?
The Chernobyl reactor was a type of nuclear reactor (RBMK) that differed from many others around the world in design and safety features. It had inherent design flaws that contributed to the severity of the disaster in 1986. Most modern reactors use different designs that incorporate more advanced safety features.
How was chernobyl reactor accident controlled or put out?
After the Chernobyl reactor accident, firefighters, workers, and soldiers tried to extinguish the fires and contain the radiation by dumping sand, lead, clay, and other materials onto the reactor. The fire burned for about 10 days before it was finally extinguished. The reactor core eventually melted down, leading to the formation of a mass of radioactive material underneath the reactor.
How many of the reactors exploded?
During the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, three of the reactors experienced hydrogen explosions. These explosions occurred in Reactors 1, 3, and 4.
How many mega electron volts were in the Chernobyl disaster?
The Chernobyl disaster released radioactive materials equivalent to about 100 megaelectronvolts (MeV) of energy.
How many nuclear reactors does France have?
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.

What nuclear power plant released huge amounts of radiation in the air?
Many. most famously Long Island and Chernobyl. The modern ones in japan were the 5 Fukishima reactors.
How many nuclear reactors does japan have?
Before the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster, there were 54 operational nuclear reactors in Japan. Three of those melted down, and one had problems that rendered it inoperable. The government has decided the other two reactors at Fukushima Daiichi cannot be restarted. Also, as other reactors have been shut down for maintenance or refueling, they have not been restarted, with the result that now, in early December 2011, only eight Japanese reactors remain in operation.
How did radiation impact society?
The impact was that there were many longterm illnesses and birth defects .Also there were many people that died. After the Chernobyl accident , internatioinal pressure promted the Soviet Union leaders to improve nuclear safety standards abd to shut down dangerous plants. In 2000 reatcor plants at Chernobyl was shut down . In an experts oppinion the reactors were poorly designed , dangerous , and should be made secure.
How many reactors were there in the fukushima operation at the time the earthquake hit?
There were six reactors at Fukushima Daiichi. At the time of the earthquake, three of these, reactors 1, 2, and 3, were operating. Reactor 4 was shut down for refueling, and reactors 5 and 6 were in cold shutdown.
How many syllables in Chernobyl?
Chernobyl has three syllables: cher-no-byl
What is the population of Ukraine chernobyl?
Because of the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, not many people live there. Chernobyl, Ukraine has a population of 500.
What man-made element is important to medicine and to nuclear reactors?
The radioactive isotope, iodine-131. It's used in the treatment of thyroid cancer. As a fission product, it reached many regions in Asia as an air pollutant immediately after the Chernobyl reactor accident.
Are there zombie myths in russia?
There's the one about Chernobyl, a ghost town in Ukraine. Ukraine has many heritages from Russia. Chernobyl is a town that had nuclear reactors and so-forth. One day, one of the reactors had a meltdown and everything, and it blew up. Spreading massive amounts of radiation. Many people think that the right dose of radiation can do very strange things to humans (**Zombies**). Zombies don't always have to be dead... they could be very much close though. The radiation of that amount could do something like that. That is as close as I can answer your question, being from Ukraine though, It sort of answers it, hopes this helps.
Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
