Good Morning people of 3rd period! Due on Friday was Pg. 1001 #17-19, 21, 29-35, 40-42. We then went over the homework and Coats-Haan worked out questions on the board. And Coats-Haan introduced the temperature take-home lab. Coats-Haan then talked about if "you are taking an AP Test in the morning and your "brain is fried" afterward then I totally understand if you stay home." Or "if you are taking an AP test in the afternoon and you want to get extra sleep and make a nice breakfast I totally understand as well". Also if you are missing for AP tests you need to talk to Coats-Haan individually. Then after that brief conversation, we talked about Mr. Gleason for a little bit, and then we took out page 223 from our lab manual and watched part of the amazing movie Nova: Chernobyl Video. We will finish up the movie on Monday! There are no assignments or homework for the weekend except to study for the Nuclear Quiz on Monday :(
QOD:
Q: What were some of the key mistakes made at Chernobyl?
A: The key mistake was the kind of reactor system they were using. They were using a less pure Uranium. So when the reactor ran out of water the chain reaction increased in speed and then began to get hotter and hotter until reactor #4 caught on fire.
Another design flaw was the structure of the control rods.
