Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe second only to photons, yet they are one of the most elusive particles known to man. The neutrino is essentially a near massless subatomic particle possessing a neutral charge. Neutrinos scarcely interact with normal matter as a consequence of having a neutral charge and a mass of almost zero. There are three flavors of neutrinos: electron, tau, and muon; many neutrinos oscillate between these flavors. Neutrinos can be produced in…

The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011 was one that should have never happened. Looking back, a perfect storm of old technology, damage from the tsunami, and system failures is to blame for the meltdown. Reactors 1-3, ones most affected, rode out the quake without serious damage. It was the tsunamis that fallowed that started the chain reaction. On March 11, 2011 at 2:46pm a 9.0 earthquake hit off shore northeast of Japan, it lasted about 6 minutes. As expected, the 11 reactors at…

Fukushima Nuclear Energy Power Plant Incident Jeff Schinmann Red Lodge Highschool 4/18/16 On Friday March, 11 2011 2:46 PM Japan was hit a by a huge earthquake lasting several minutes which had a magnitude of 9. The earthquake of coarse caused alot of damage but the earthquake also caused a huge tsunami which then hit Japan causing even more damage then the earthquake did. This killed thousands of people and destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings. The nuclear power plants…

The most exceedingly terrible mishap in the historical backdrop of this atomic force era happened on the morning of April 26, 1986. It was at the Chernobyl (Ukraine) atomic force station in the Soviet Union. At 1:32am Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Telyatnikov got a phone call and was informed that there was a blaze at the atomic force plant. There were numerous reasons their plant had exploded backward. These reasons included human blunder and poor plant outline because of the cool war. Chernobyl…

What is contingency planning and business continuity and why does the organization need it? Contingency planning and business continuity is the organization attempting to take control of an uncontrollable and unexpected situation. It is building and improving the organizations ability to respond and restore the organization functions and services when an event occurs. It will aid the organization in determining critical functions and services along with all the dependencies that support those…

Power Plant. The burst released a radioactive wave that was 400 times more concentrated than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb. To this day, those from the towns nearby and the surrounding area are suffering from the horrible after effects of the horrible disaster. Below are a few facts you might not have known about Chernobyl. 1. The explosion was caused by one of four reactors Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant had 6 reactors on site, but only 4 were completed. The 4th reactor was two years old and, on…

74The most important lesson learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is to prepare for the worst-case scenario. The world should recognize the need to consider the maximum potential seismic events greater than the ones observed or recorded. The experience from the Fukushima incident shows how there is a need for a consistent and comprehensive plan for pre-earthquake and post-earthquake response actions. Preparing for the worst-case scenario is a necessity when dealing with high…

Chernobyl disaster. Chernobyl is an entire city that had a nuclear accident causing damage to the surrounding area for miles. Chernobyl had many different effects on the environment. The accident was a man made occurrence and could have been prevented. Some of the effects on the environment was reduction of biodiversity, by killing and mutation of plants and animals. These are just some of the reasons that chernobyl is the worst human caused environmental event. The Chernobyl disaster was a…

abandoning cities due to his novel, The Martian Chronicles. He makes readers intruded about the places left to decay and rot with memories. Once the world burned out, all there would be is rubble. It mentioned how abandon Earth is and the devastating disaster of a nuclear explosion. There is a plethora of cities all around Earth that have been abandoned due to natural causes or explosions, similar to what occurred at the Chernobyl Power Plant. When massive radioactive contents were unleashed…
