Which of these safety features aims to keep nuclear radiation contained
rewona [7]

The safety feature aimed at keeping nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.

<h3>What is nuclear power plant?</h3>

A nuclear power plant is a building with reactors that contain controlled nuclear reactions to produce energy.

Nuclear power plants are able to generate warm water by using atomic properties of matter  (i.e.,m the process of nuclear fission), which is in turn converted into steam to move turbines.

The walls of nuclear power reactors are composed of steel-reinforced concrete in order to avoid radiation release.

In conclusion, the safety standard property that maintains nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.

Answer:

  1. Compress
  2. Fixed
  3. Melts
  4. Melting Point
  5. Freezing Point
  6. High
  7. Crystalline
  8. Lattice
  9. Unit cell
  10. Amorphous solids

Explanation:

Solids tend to be dense and difficult to <u>compress.</u>

They do not  flow or take the shape of their containers, like liquids do, because  the particles in solids vibrate around <u>fixed</u> points.

When a solid  is heated until its particles vibrate so rapidly that they are no longer  held in fixed positions, the solid <u>melts</u>.  

<u>Melting point</u> is the  temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. The melting and <u>freezing point</u>  of a substance are at the same temperature.

In general,  ionic solids tend to have relatively <u>high</u>  melting points, while  molecular solids tend to have relatively low melting points.

Most  solids are <u>crystalline</u>

The particles are arranged in a pattern known  as a crystal <u>lattice</u>

The smallest subunit of a crystal lattice is the <u>unit cell</u>  

Some solids lack an ordered internal structure   and are called <u>amorphous solids.</u>
