    I interviewed with an american company in the late 1970's, for a job at the Iraqui nuclear development center, where centrifugal separation was to be used for enrichment. Our company had done high-speed motor development, for the NASA rocket systems, upwards of 90,000-rpm. The Iraqui technology was somewhat primitive and they were offering about 3-times the going wage rate, for engineers who could do enrichment. At that time, I was making enough to buy two-houses with one years of net salary, but their offer could have allowed me to buy 6-houses, american equivalent. So I signed for a preliminary tour, and afterwards, after seeing the horrible living conditions, I bailed out. Do NOT believe anything you hear on the american media. That technology was transferred to the Iranians, in the late 80's, using our own motor technology, as given to them by the French and Germans. It was actually us, the USA, and the remaining Nazis who actually gave the Iranians that ability. If they nuke us, we are to blame.

    Actually the Uranium is used to heat water, and that steam runs through a turbine, which conducts the electricity. The only difference between a Nuclear power plant and a coal/gas power plant is how the water is heated. After the water is heated, they all work the same.

    • @AlanTheBeast100

      It's not the "Plutonium" that heats the water, it's the fission decay that releases heat absorbed by the water.
      As to Plutonium, well - it's complicated, but most reactors primarily use Uranium or spent Uranium+Plutonium (MOX).

    I think the spent rods could be buried below military runways in the far north to keep them from freezing over. People are seldom out on these runways and the rods could be buried deep enough to prevent harm to those who would occasionally be on the tarmac. The residual heat from spent rods could warm the concrete. They could further be put into ceramic shells to further isolate them as needed.

      I guess you visited the Oxide Fuels Complex? Drinking, eating & smoking is not allowed in controlled areas for various reasons, if you want a drink you just need to step out of the controlled area it's not a problem. Yes water is a moderator (slows the neutrons down) but only a problem in some high enrichment areas there are other materials which are moderators too such as polythene which must also be controlled. A criticality incident is always possible but there are many measures in place to mitigate that eventuality, water exclusion being just one. BTW its Salwick not Solwick and is now called Westinghouse formally BNFL and before that UKAEA in the really good old days!

      Rods are emitting a truck load of Neutrons but low levels of Gamma, Beta and Alpha radiation. The Neutrons are going way too fast to smash the atoms without a moderator (yeah sound crazy don't it? but they just fly by), so when you put a shed load of these Uranium rods things together and slow the crazy neutrons down with big lumps of graphite (a moderator) the neutrons can smash the crap out of other U235 atoms splitting them and chucking out more neutrons, heat (and some other nasty undesirable rays) which smash the crap out of more atoms etc. causing a chain reaction and more heat than you can shake a stick at, until somebody chickens out and shoves in some Boron rods to soak up all the crazy neutrons and put an end to the party

    They are not handling it with bare hands, or at least should not. In the video the handlers are wearing gloves of various types, including simple latex. They are handling titanium rods, not bare U235. See Wikipedia about "thermal neutrons" and "Gray units" to get a better understanding of those parameters. The thermal neutrons from natural U235 are very low energy, fractions of an eV. As such, they are absorbed almost immediately by any nearby barriers. The real danger is the "dust" or airborne particles, which if breathed in, will stick to lung tissue and act as a cancer inducing site. Even at these low eVs, the dust is far more dangerous. Here in Colorado, the soil is naturally radioactive at very high levels, producing Radon gas in under floor dirt areas. Even so, we have one of the best health records in the whole country. Metallic DU is much less radioactive than many of our natural soils. However HEU in metallic form is unsafe to handle, since it will emit high energy neutrons. That requires heavy metal shielding.

    2:45, u238 is barely active and at the concentrations in the ore, its self-shielding. It’s far more hazardous as a heavy metal than it is as a radiological hazard. Different story if enriched, but FFS most house bricks are slightly RA…

      @@khanch.6807 to be honest, time distance shielding. Don’t hold it for long.
      HEU is somewhat RA, but it’s *NOTHING* compared to irradiated fuel, which is ABSOLUTELY HOOFING STINKING HOT.
      The neutron activated nastiness that comes out of reactors is maaaaany orders of magnitude worse than 235u for activity. Even Pu is safe to handle. The MAJOR hazard is cuts and getting minuscule traces of U/Pu into your bloodstream, because the radionuclide will sit there irradiating your innards for eternity. 239Pu half life is 24,000years, 235U is 450,000,000 years, and 238U is 4.5Bill years.
      The external irradiation hazards aren’t great for HEU and Pu, but the heavy metal toxicity and getting gently internally alpha’d to buggery for the rest of your life by a tiiiiiiny spec of metal or oxide that gets into a cut is muuuuuch worse.

      You should learn about the different types of radiation, alpha, beta, gamma. As well as radioactive half lifes. But, in case you don't, here is a summary of why this is okay without getting too technical. Uranium emits alpha radiation, which doesn't penetrate very well. A piece of paper is enough to block most of the alpha radiation emitted by uranium. The dead layer of skin on your hands, or anywhere else, is enough to block most of the radiation. It can only really do damage to something if it's in direct contact. Even a few inches of air is enough to block an alpha ray. The only real concern is getting dust from it on your hands, and then ingesting that dust. Whether it's by touching your face without realizing it, or eating something while the dust is on your hands. Once it's inside your body, such as your lungs, the alpha radiation can directly interact with your cells and cause problems.
      Gloves and suits are usually necessary when handling uranium or anything radioactive for this reason. You work with it, throw away the gloves, and then scan your hands with a geiger counter for any contamination. If there is, you just wash it off and check again.
      The half life of uranium-238, which is the most common one in nature, is billions of years. Which means it decays very slowly. Meaning it gives off radiation slowly. It may stick around longer than the age of the universe, but there are elements which emit just as much radiation in a matter of days, weeks, months, years, you see where I'm going with this. The lower the half life, the more intense the radiation and hence, the more dangerous it is. But uranium can still do damage internally.
      Most people focus on the radiation so much, they don't realize uranium is also a heavy metal. Like mercury, or lead. And it will cause health problems outside of what the radiation alone would do.
      If it emitted beta or gamma radiation, it would not be safe to handle, or even be around, depending on how radioactive it is. Which is why I say to look up what the 3 main types of radiation are. It will at least explain what I've explained in depth more. Here's a video that explains it, to save you the trouble of looking it up: ua-cam.com/video/iTb_KRG6LXo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Fermilab

    You do not distinguish between U235 and U238 very well it is the increase of proportion of U235 via centrafuge which is called enrichment;you only say the U235 can cause a chain reaction - you don't make it clear that U238 is useless in the reactor; and that only the U235 splits. You don't say how these chemical reactions take place you use useless words like - it is treated by acid - not very informative, why not even more vaughe - it uses a process or it is changed or something is done to it. Pretty much a useless video.
