Chernobyl disaster

Mount St. Helens is a volcanic stratovolcano still actively located in the Cascade Range in Western North America in the state of Washington. It was formed by a subduction plate boundary also located on the Juan de Fuca plate. The Cascade range is one of the most famous mountain ranges, and has one of the most active volcanos located in Western North America. Other areas or famous landmarks surrounding Mount St. Helens are the South Fork Toutle River, North Fork Toutle River, Castel lake,…

The history of love canal is one that precedes the great second world war; a period when regulations were uncommon, and the United States government was not focused on holding giant companies liable. To fully understand the what happened at Love Canal, one must carefully revisit the history of its origin. It all started out as dream when William T. Love arrived in Niagara Falls; his dream was to build an industrial city with expedient access to inexpensive water power and major markets such as…

currents carrying radioactive material out to sea. According to numerous marine biologists this radioactive material can be found in oceans 60 years after they were initially released, and may be detrimental to both marine life and seafood. This disaster affected the marine food chain in numerous ways. For example, the ocean has natural radioactive isotopes such as Polonium-210, which is responsible for the radiation dose the marine organisms receive. Certain organisms such as types of plankton…

Koffler is an example of a bad building to choose for a safe house during a zombie apocalypse. Although the building is sufficiently tall (5 stories), allowing refugees to stay far away from the zombies, this building contains many labs that various science classes use. One of the classes that use this building for labs is the chemistry department. This poses many different obstacles. Due to the amount of scientific experiments that go on in this building, there are many different chemicals,…

Suppose your computer system was ruined or damaged by a simple power surge. Imagine your business needed to be shut down temporarily because an electrical surge damaged all your equipment. What could happen to your business if an employee error damaged your only production machine? Even broken water pipes can cause a lot of damage. You may not expect them, but any of these things could happen. It's easy to see why insuring your business's equipment is a smart move. If your business equipment…

“Fukushima radiation nears California coast, judged harmless. The article was published on November 11 2014. In this article, they talked about a couple of different things. One of the topics they talked about was the Fukushima nuclear disaster that occurred in 2011, and how the radioactive contamination has slowly started to approach the coast of California. The radiation levels were looked over by researches and found out that the radiation does not pose a risk to the people…

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…

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…

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 was found in the previous Soviet Union in what is currently Ukraine. The range in and around Chernobyl is presently an…

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…
