The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops.

The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.

Imagine you are an astronaut and you travel to a planet with a much larger mass than Earth. How would this affect your weight? E

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

It may not make any difference. The information missing is the radius of the planet.

However for the purposes of the question, let us assume that it is roughly the same diameter of the earth. Then the weight of anyone would increase if the mass is all that changes..

The formula governing your weight is F = G * m1 *m2 / r^2. If m1 is the mass of the planet and it increases a lot then m2 (you) should increase. The question is done by a proportion.
