Japan suffered disaster aftermath of the destruction made by Tsunami due to failure of its Nuclear reactors.
The failure of cooling system is the reason for explosions in the reactors. We know that the enormous heat generated during fission process is compensated by coolant under flow in reactors.
The failure of cooling system called as Loss of coolant accident would lead to severe effects in reactor. Even after shutdown there is decay heat which shall be cooled to protect the core of the reactor.
In failure of this the pressure inside the core may increase by many folds and result in blast. The consequence is the escape of radioactive gases containing traces of Iodine, Cesium-137 etc which pose serious threat to health of people in the vicinity of reactor.
Already it is announced that the natural background in Japan is increased by many folds giving us a serious alarm..
Technology is evidently a best resource for development but at the same time periodic review is must to tackle such disasters.
Hopefully the entire world would wake up to improve the existing system of technology for eliminating such disasters in the future.
Yes, here we can't expect natural calamities when this will come and how much influence it shows humans. This is the Very good Lesson to whole World about Nuclear disasters. Hope We will find solution in Future this type of big failures.
ReplyDeleteI feel 2012 end of the world has already started we have to take some precautions on this before going to lose everything in humans life.
Dear Girish Kumar, what you said is correct.
