Smith may also have been responding to onboard indications of main engine performance or to falling pressures in the external fuel tank. At T+73.124 seconds, the aft dome of the liquid hydrogen tank failed, producing a propulsive force that pushed the hydrogen tank into the liquid oxygen tank in the forward part of the external tank.
The video appears to show large amounts of debris contaminating the pool. Based on water samples analysed, unnamed experts and TEPCO reported that the fuel rods were left "largely undamaged", [51] [52] and that it appears that the Unit 3 explosion was entirely related to hydrogen buildup within the building from venting of the reactor.
The 401A/B versions used a Centaur upper stage with a 4.3-meter (14 ft) diameter hydrogen tank. In the Titan 401A version, a Centaur-T was launched nine times between 1994 and 1998. The 1997 Cassini-Huygens Saturn probe was the first flight of the Titan 401B, with an additional six launches wrapping up in 2003 including one SRB failure.
Jul. 26—Golden Empire Transit District has declined to give the Bakersfield Fire Department a copy of a video showing the fire that destroyed a $1.1 million hydrogen-powered passenger bus last ...
On 15 March, an explosion was observed at unit 4 RB during site evacuation. A team later returned to the power station to inspect unit 4, but were unable to do so due to the present radiological hazard. [8]: 44 The explosion damaged the fourth-floor rooftop area of Unit 4, creating two large holes in a wall of the reactor building (RB). The ...
Beginning at T+44 seconds, the pneumatic system responded by venting propellant to reduce pressure levels, but eventually, they exceeded the LH2 tank's structural strength. At T+54 seconds, the Centaur experienced total structural breakup and loss of telemetry, the LOX tank rupturing and producing an explosion as it mixed with the hydrogen cloud.
Ivy Mike was the codename given to the first full-scale [note 1] test of a thermonuclear device, in which a significant fraction of the explosive yield comes from nuclear fusion. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Ivy Mike was detonated on November 1, 1952, by the United States on the island of Elugelab in Enewetak Atoll , in the now independent island nation ...
