Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The primary nuclear fuel and the other radioactive materials beside the fuel that were released during the accident have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Chernobyl disaster-The reactor was undergoing a test to test the backup power supply in case of a power loss. The power fell too low, allowing the concentration of xenon-135 to rise. The workers continued the test and in order to control the rising levels of xenon-135, the control rods were pulled out.
- Nuclear fuel is the substance that is used in a nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines.
(b)
Interpretation:
The estimated amount of radioactive material released into the environment and the form in which it was released has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Chernobyl disaster-The reactor was undergoing a test to test the backup power supply in case of a power loss. The power fell too low, allowing the concentration of xenon-135 to rise. The workers continued the test and in order to control the rising levels of xenon-135, the control rods were pulled out.
- Radioactive material is the material that present in a radiation environment, has become radioactive or is contaminated material.
(c)
Interpretation:
Additional radiation exposure that is expected for a person living near and far to the Chernobyl plant has to be determined and percentage levels that can be compared with average background radiation dose for a average person has to be expressed.

- Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.arrow_forwardShow the fate of the proton on the 4-Oxygen molecule of F-1,6-BP. Please include a drawing showing the electron flow that occurs.arrow_forward1. Which one is the major organic product obtained from the following aldol condensation?
