  • In this video you can see how the RBMK-1000 "eats".
    One of the main adventages of the RBMK Reactor is that it must not be turned off during refueling time.

      RBMK reactors are brilliant, there is no doubt. With careful engineers running them under nominal conditions they are totally fine and turn out clean power for many years. But. If you put them in the hands of idiots they are, in fact, not idiot-proof. Reactor containment vessels exist because people make mistakes. People not only make mistakes but they make very stupid mistakes, routinely. People make so many stupid mistakes that we can't even account for them all and that's why most of the world wraps up nuclear reactors in air tight containment vessels.

      Rods did not jump, HBO is telling you all wrong. That large plum of smoke after the explosion, it is false. The aftermath is highly visible and there was slightly smoke. If the rods did jump, it needs pressure. But the heat from the reactor does not make pressure, it only turns the water into steam erupting from the lid of the reactor. So the mini series is probably 40% accurrate and defies physics and science. Correct me if i'm wrong I might start a war

      Not even modern western containment buildings could contain the staggering amount of energy released by the reactor detonating. Roughly 1 tera joule of energy. Modern plants are built to withstand planes crashing into them, roughly 3.6 giga joules of energy.
      The containment building would need to be roughly 28x stronger than modern buildings to contain the initial explosion. That is not including any of the aftermath where the heat and radiation decomposes concrete which would cause parts of the building to collapse and leak radiation.
      Like, the lid was 1000 tonne and it went flying. A fully loaded airbus jet is about 350 tonne. You aren't containing that.

    "The fuel is in the form of small fuel pellets of sintered uranium dioxide with an axially-central hole. They are housed in Zircaloy rods 13.6 mm in diameter and 3.65 m long. A fuel assembly consists of two components, each with 18 rods, which are arranged in a cylindrical shape. Two of the FA components are located one above the other in the pressure tube, which is more than seven meters long. They can be replaced while the reactor is in operation, since each individual pressure tube can be isolated from the water circuit by valves.[8] A fuel element contains 114.7 kg of uranium; the entire reactor contains up to 192 tons when all channels are occupied."

    The 1000MW is the standard and most common RBMK variant in service, but the fact is there also were other - existing or proposed - variants: the EGP6 (a "dwarf" RBMK designed for the Bilibino plant), and the RBMK-1500 (for Ignalina, virtually the same base as the -1000 but run with slightly less water to raise its power) saw active service.
    The RBMKP-2400, a version with a rectangular core instead of a circular one, to house more fuel, was also planned, but cancelled after the Chernobyl disaster (as was the construction of all but two of the RBMKs being built at the time).

      Film cameras, and technology in general doesn’t like radiation.
      So I imagine taking a spent fuel rod out of the reactor would cause a larger amount of radiation being released. Which could be dangerous for the film crew and make the footage very poor quality.

    • @Quantor_Miller

      Once removed, the fuel rods are placed in a holding pool for more than one year.

    • @060POTEHb
      @060POTEHb 3 роки тому +50

      It's massive itself, so it can take a bit of heat(even nuclear decay heat). Rod will be inside for not long time and soon will be unloaded to the classical cooling pool.

    • @halofreak1990
      @halofreak1990 2 роки тому +14

      The decay heat is compensated for by the refueling machine itself, which is filled with water to keep the rods cool while they're being moved around between the core and the spent fuel pools behind the reactor.

    • @williamforsyth6667

    France have built "kind of" the same natural U238 reactors + graphite moderator around the 60s before we could get proper enriched uranium and pressurized reactors under a Westinghouse licence. There are around 10 of these reactors and 2 major accidents occured (INES 4) in the 80s. They were completely stopped just years after Chernobyl (1990/1992) - too dangerous and too expensive to maintain in comparison with the Westinghouse design.
    These reactors are still at the dismantling stage and these loading machines are still there.
    From the reactor hall, you have windows and you can look at the scenery 😂 there is no containment building at all, no concrete enveloppe, the windows are in plexiglass, less thick than a windshield of a car...
    We could have done worse than Chernobyl in 1980, hopefully the core did not explode, the reactor was stopped way before when an overheat was detected. Saved by the strict application of safety procedures on a flawed technology.
    Hopefully we stopped that crazyness to build much more safer Pressurized reactors.
