what was the russia melt down of the powe plant called

you are referring to "Chernobyl" which is a place in the Ukraine where there was a nuclear meltdown more than 10 years ago.

wow ,thanks for the link valadmir, its an awsome weapon....the russians are sure not for messing with.

I'm only 12 and I'm surprised that no one has answered this yet. First, what hapened is that something happened inside the factory...that information has not been released to the public yet. This caused there to be something happening to the CO2 which made it bad, so it was not safe to work with. So now they have to ration it until they get it all worked out. Does this help you any?

1.  Steel weakens long before it melts.  Melting is the point of turning to liquid, just like we learned in science class.\n\nJet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength--and that required exposure to much less heat. "I have never seen melted steel in a building fire," says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. "But I've seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks."\n\n"Steel loses about 50 percent of its strength at 1100°F," notes senior engineer Farid Alfawak-hiri of the American Institute of Steel Construction. "And at 1800° it is probably at less than 10 percent." NIST also believes that a great deal of the spray-on fireproofing insulation was likely knocked off the steel beams that were in the path of the crashing jets, leaving the metal more vulnerable to the heat.\n\nBut jet fuel wasn't the only thing burning, notes Forman Williams, a professor of engineering at the University of California, San Diego, and one of seven structural engineers and fire experts that PM consulted. He says that while the jet fuel was the catalyst for the WTC fires, the resulting inferno was intensified by the combustible material inside the buildings, including rugs, curtains, furniture and paper. NIST reports that pockets of fire hit 1832°F.\n\n"The jet fuel was the ignition source," Williams tells PM. "It burned for maybe 10 minutes, and [the towers] were still standing in 10 minutes. It was the rest of the stuff burning afterward that was responsible for the heat transfer that eventually brought them down."\n\n2.  Towers & WTC came down like engineered demolition: Yes, it was LIKE a demolition, however just because the effect is the same does not mean the cause is the same. The pancaking effect is the result of structural failure of floor support system, and can be caused by numerous forms of structural catastrophe, including weakened support by fire.  \n\nJust because you don't like the magazine means that all of his sources were bogus and none of it makes sense right? I am an engineer, and I know that the simplest explanation is usually correct. Show me someone who knows what he/she is talking about, who knows about structural design, structural failure, fire-rated assemblies, and maybe they will have some credibility, unlike the "internet investigators" who read someone else's "explanation" and don't question it.\n\nThat's a contradiction in itself. They question the official 9/11 story, but don't question the conspiracy theories. Have a mind of your own, and do the research both ways.

It took its' name from the Surrender Mine  which was sited there.

Hair breadth from utter destruction- too many close calls\n\nOn October 27, 1962, a Soviet submarine officer named Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov reportedly refused to comply with the launch of a nuclear warhead while apparently under attack by a U.S. warship near Cuba.\n\nSeptember 26th, 1983 - Colonel Stanislav Petrov disobeys protocols and fails to launch Soviet Missiles after his early warning system indicated 5 missiles launched by the US at the Soviet Union.\n\nJanuary 25, 1995 - A peaceful scientific rocket is launched off the coast of Norway. To the east, in Russia, radar operators mistake the launch for a nuclear attack by the West. A deadly process -- nearly on auto-pilot -- is triggered. Within minutes President Yeltsin has been alerted of the attack. For the first time in history, the Russian nuclear briefcase is activated.\n\nI believe they're a necessary evil, especially in this age of rogue states and leaders.  The nearness to calamities, however, from false alarms makes them scary, and these are only the enemies false alarms, i wonder how many US false positives there have been since 1950.

Tokamak is a Russian invented fusion research reactor that is being used today on most fusion research facilities.

old school! \n\nhe used a block of ice to get up there, and it melted. :-P

I love nuclear power - Chernobyl was run by a bunch of resentful communists - with very little grasp of anything technological - now they have 2 heads and 12 fingers to show for it!

that has to be the soviet made katushya rocket launcher( means "little katie" in russian) or nicknamed "stalins organ" cos of the screaching noise it made when it launched the rockets.it was so deadly it could wipe out a whole german infantry unit if fired in barrages.it was so feared by the german troops that if they caught any soviet army officer who was in charge of the launcher they executed him on the spot.the best sight was when stalin amassed thousands of katushyas around berlin and gave the go ahead to storm berlin.it was the best every scene i have ever seen,just amazeing, the sky lit up ,and the noise was so intense even the rats ran away.music to my ears.;-)

Controlled demolition is like that.\nThe second hit couldn't be stopped because it was part of the government's plan.

The US was purchace from Russia in the mid 19th century.  It was called Seward's Folly because it was believed that there wasn't anything worth having.  If they would have known about the oil, they would have given Seward a medal
