What else can I help you with?
Was the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl the same as other reactors around the world?
No, the RBMK design was evolved in the Soviet Union, and has not been used anywhere except Russia and former Soviet Bloc countries like the Ukraine. Russia has now moved to PWR reactors, but I think some RBMK's are still operating there. Existing ones had some mods made after Chernobyl to improve safety. All the Chernobyl reactors are shutdown permanently. this was a condition of EU assistance.
How was chernobyl reactor accident controlled or put out?
It was not controlled, once the top of the reactor was blown off there was nothing anyone could do. The fuel melted and ran down, whilst the graphite burned away, so this would stop the nuclear reaction. The task then was to put out the fire which was still raising radioactive material into the atmosphere. This was done partly by firemen with hoses (many of whom died from radiation) and by dropping material onto the burning reactor from helicopters.
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 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.
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.
How many years elapsed between the worlds nuclear plant accident t Chernobyl and the closing down of the last operating Faculties?
