That would vary with reactor design, where the original problem occurred, operator training and response to the problem, and many other variables.

An accident can vary from a tiny release of radioactive gasses that is stopped immediately, through steam ejection of a fuel rod whch impales a single worker onto the ceiling, through a massive steam explosion followed by a graphite fire (all three of these have happened), to a worst case complete core meltdown that melts down to the water table causing massive contamination of drinking water for hundreds of miles (this has not happened)

4. Discuss the difference between solar flares and CME's.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

CMEs are giant clouds of particles from the Sun hurled out into space, while flares are flashes of light—occurring in various wavelengths—on the Sun.

All three occur in the corona. The biggest difference is the cause. The solar wind is a constant flow of particles from the sun’s corona due to their high energy gained from the sun’s interior, it’s like being boiled off. CME’s and flares are the result of “explosive” releases of energy from the sun’s magnetic field.

One can think of the explosions using the physics of a cannon. The flare is like the muzzle flash, which can be seen anywhere in the vicinity. The CME is like the cannonball, propelled forward in a single, preferential direction, this mass ejected from the barrel only affecting a targeted area.

How will a wind blowing to the south in the Northern Hemisphere be affected
____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is C: It will blend to the East

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect makes storms swirl clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. … In these systems there is a balance between the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient force and the winds flow in reverse
