Best Answer

The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.

How many fuel rods in a reactor?

The number of fuel pins in a reactor will vary depending on its design and objectives. In one reactor that I worked with, I seem to recall 137 fuel assemblies, with four bundles each, with 62 fuel pins each. That translates to 33,976 fuel pins in the reactor, each about 12 feet long.


When did reactor number 4 explode?

Reactor number 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded on April 26, 1986.


How many control rods are there in a nuclear reactor?

The number of control rods in a nuclear reactor can vary depending on the design and size of the reactor. Typically, a nuclear reactor can have anywhere from 50 to 100 control rods. These rods are used to control the rate of the nuclear reaction by absorbing neutrons and regulating the power output of the reactor.


Is reactor number 3 really in critical at Fukushima?

As of the most recent information available, reactor number 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is not in a critical state. The situation at the plant is being closely monitored, and any developments regarding reactor number 3 and the overall safety of the plant will be reported by relevant authorities.


How many steam generators are there in a pressurized water reactor?

A pressurized water reactor typically has between two to four steam generators. These large heat exchangers are vital components in the reactor's secondary cooling system, where heat from the primary reactor coolant is transferred to produce steam for generating electricity in a turbine generator.


What are the number of neutrons available is a fission reactor adjusted by?

The number of neutrons available in a fission reactor is adjusted by controlling the rate of fission reactions through control rods. By inserting or removing control rods, operators can regulate the number of neutrons interacting with fuel atoms, which in turn affects the overall reaction rate and power output of the reactor.
