In this video Paul Andersen explains how nuclear energy is released during fission of radioactive uranium. Light water reactors, nuclear waste, and nuclear accidents are also discussed along with the future of nuclear energy.

You honestly the only reason I'm going to pass this AP test. Thank you
How did you do
"Each of the radioactive materials have a different half life but it's gonna be on the order of thousands of years."
Apparently Steam has decided that Half-Life 3 is gonna be on order for thousands of years, too!
Our Civilisation’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity
dude I just had an exam of this and you post it now? haha
You are gifted! The way you explain things stay in my head forever. I am so thankful for your videos.
If the Roman Empire had used nuclear energy, how to handle their waste would still be an important political issue today.
if the government would provide a repository for the waste, which they promised and of which they have required nuclear power plants to pay for up front, it wouldn't be an issue at all.
Great explanation. I know this was made a good few years, but any chance of a video on reusability of spent nuclear fuel rods?
4:03 what is the fluid?
Played this at 1.75x and got all the info I needed very quickly! The quiz at the end was fun and helpful, thank you!
1 gram of U -235 has as much energy as an entire train car full of coal.
Well aren't you a fart little smeller
Very well done!
It's fabulous
This is an excellent video
Are radioactive things really made by a lot of cans and bottles 1/2filled w/fl copper wood and strings. ?
You're going to help us Mr Anderson. Whether you want to or not.
You're one of the brightest people on youtube. It's weird you have so many subs but so little avg. views. You deserve way more.
How long do you usually take to prep each episode? It looks like you put a lot of thought and time into each one.
+pixelfizz not everyone subs for environmental science? plus people stay subscribed even after they have finished a class
I’m in the future he does now
Respect you man
Nice video, but what about fusion reactors!?
Fusion reactors dont produce usable energy yet, it costs more energy to achieve fusion than it produces
so this is still a non-renewable source? because it uses uranium and uranium are considered a non-renewable source
what is an irradiated nuclear fuels?
hell yeah it was ! Thanks man
What are the control rods made of?
Boron
Boron, indium, cadmium and silver
why doesn't anyone want to discuss Thorium and molten salt reactors? too practical huh?
Try a full life cycle analysis of commercial nuclear power, no one else will.
nice sir
I hope there will be less dangerous materials to extract energy from. Harvesting U-35 has been successful and search for alternatives is a first priority. Not to optimize the current process but find an alternative. Hopefully energy research din't stop at nuclear fission.
Nuclear energy is among the safest forms of energy production with just a little more deaths per energy unit than Solar Wind and Hydro, Nuclear Energy is super safe compared to fossil fuels
Hydro, solar, wind, three very safe and excellent alternatives!
Nuclear is also a very good alternative to coal
China is building 107 nuclear reactor.but is going to the far side of the moon for Helium-3 for nuclear fusion.
10*
3:54 ffs, I can’t escape them
the day of TMI living 20 mi down-stream i experienced a
distinct metalic taste (strontium beta emitter)
on nuclear accidents there's just one quote I always remember "The invisible fires burn here, true enough"
then just find another way to boil water...
Nuclear is a very good way to boil water, way better than fossil fuels
Why this obsession with reducing co2?
Because co2 is the biggest cause of acidification and climate change. The changing in the overall climate of the planet is destroying us. It is the reason why the US is suffering crippling winters, droughts and tropical storms. It is why Europe is suffering from increased flooding, rainfall and random seasonal shifts.
Type your question into a search engine and do some reading and research. The answer will scare you.
I like how he said only 31 people died from Chernobyl. It was actually closer to 15,000. Russian censorship has far reaches.
Chernobyl happened in Ukraine and no censorship took place
Science is amazing! so much better than religion.
+Ted The Man Cruz
Praise the god of science!
Is that your opinion? if yes why?if no whose?
saleem khatib
it's mine. Frankly it's yours as well.
The second comment (with god) is just a joke.
+Ted The Man Cruz good for you
saleem khatib
marry me
That's scary or adorable 😮😅
send the nuclear waste to space!
Right, load it all into rockets. What if one explodes while in the atmosphere? It will just rain radiation over the entire planet, no big deal.
worst way to boil water
Fossil Fuels are much worse dude

No help bud
3st
+A. Ka its third, you turd
NO. FUCKING. WAY! THANK YOU FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING THE SARCASM IN MY COMMENT.
+A. Ka Dude, I know :)
