      @@saintq3888, Good comment, because I'm sure many who don't work in the industry, would say the same thing. I will pass along some information. In the United States there are 98, there used to be 119, operating nuclear reactors in use, the first one was put on line in the 1950's. Through the years, from the fifties until today, we have had one incident, TMI. Now think about this, 119 units running for nearly 5 decades with absolutely no issues, partly because of the NRC, but mostly because of design and the integrity of the owners, except for 1, which turns out happened because of a little man who was afraid to lose his job if he shut the unit down. By the time he made the right decision it was almost too late. I say almost because it was stopped in time before any dangerous amounts of radiation was released. Harm to people living in the surrounding area = none. Harm to anyone who worked in the facility = none. Harm to wildlife in the area = none. Harm even to any fish in the water near the unit = none. Should this of happened? No, absolutely not. Have steps been taken to make sure it doesn't happen again? Yes, absolutely.

      Obviously you can't look inside of the reactor because it has to be kept under water to prevent lethal doses of radiation from escaping and to keep the core cool. The spent fuel rods would kill the workers if there was no water between the fuel rods and the workers.

    Just shows how incredibly well built and honestly - how incredibly safe US nuclear power systems truly are- that despite a state of the art computer telling the operators the water level was low, they not only ignored it, then President Jimmy Carter, a nuclear physicist himself also agreed to lower the water level further, ignoring the computer system. That with a almost bone dry core for several days, the result was a mere 3/4” meltdown and the release of some steam with elevated radiation levels that never caused any issues to anyone in the surrounding area. 3 Mile was a human stupidity issue, not a plant issue. The press overblew the incident and it was a big to do about nothing in the end.

    • @dwetick1

      I beg to differ...42% of the core vaporized at TMI. Those deadly vapors went somewhere...the metallic air that every living thing inhaled was most of it.

    • @westchestertechnologies6687
      @westchestertechnologies6687 5 років тому +8

      D Wetick it didn’t vaporize. That statement is categorically false. TMI2 core suffered large amounts of damage in that the fuel rods shattered and were in a pile of rubble at the floor of the reactor casket. Which the reactor casket only suffered a minor 3/4” meltdown to it. It’s 5’ thick.
      As for the steam release, the NRC findings showed at the reactor directly the maximum steam release exposure was a mere 100-125 millirem. Outside of the area it dropped significantly. To put that into perspective an X-ray is 6 millrem. They also conducted a 20 year study, no cases of cancer or any birth defects were traced to the steam release.

      Jess : What I am saying is that when refueling, you have the reactor lid removed, and the top is covered in lots of clear water to stop the radiation. You send a device down on a crane to grab the top of each fuel assembly you want to remove, pull them up, and slide them over to a cooling off spot in the spent fuel pool. During this whole time, the real core can be seen right through the water. The water blocks the neutrons, so the camera should work fine.

      Probably the reason why British Magnox and AGR are considered the safest designs going although not highest powered 800Mw at most.. In the event of complete power failure and circulation pump failure The Carbon Dioxide gas used to cool these reactors would naturally circulate through heat convection alone. Slowing plenty of time for repaired to be made. They also have the added advantage of being able to be hot refuelled, meaning they don’t need to be shut down whilst refuelling takes place...

      You're probably thinking of decommissioning. This is when the fuel is swapped over to new positions (kind of like rotating your tires so they wear evenly) and if it's been in for 6 years, then it's replaced.
      There is actually plenty of fuel left in the rods after 6 years. You can recycle it into something call MOX and reuse it, but right now it's cheaper to mine fresh uranium and the used stuff is stored.

    The upper lid of the reactor must be super radioactive, how are they not removing it under water. Instread they keep the lid right beside near the workers. That very lid actually covers the core where nuclear fission takes place. How are they even taking it out of the water? Strange

    • @lesterawilson3
      @lesterawilson3 2 роки тому +2

      It's never in water... the waterline is below the reactor pressure vessel head (the 'dome'). Between the head and the core is a steam separator and a steam dryer. Those are always kept under water in a laydown pool adjacent to the reactor cavity as they are right above core where the fuel is. The only radioactivity the reactor pressure vessel head receives is from the steam generated by the boiling water. The radionuclides from the steam have a very short half-life so they don't stay radioactive for very long (minutes). That said, there is still some minor exposure to radiation - but they all practice ALARA - As Low As Reasonably Achievable - dose exposure. Time, distance, shielding to sources of radioactivity determine your exposure - and the radioactive work permits when they sign in to the plant determine what your maximum exposure may be for the task you are doing. During outages, there is an aggregate dose exposure goal to stay under for the entire outage for everyone. ALARA waiting areas are marked by signs / flashing green lights where people wait until they're needed to perform a task as these areas have little or no dose. Generally dose exposure goals are met or exceeded through rigorous safe work practices, ALARA behaviors and other means to mitigate exposure through shielding and maintenance of the reactor internals during outage.

It was more likely from radium dials self-illuminating than it was UV light cast upon uranium. Radium dials were highly sought after during this time.
      Really, Dunning Kruger effect? This is coming after you assert that the green glow myth was started by uranium glass. You wouldn't dare see fluorescence at a nuclear plant. You would however see Cherenkov radiation on UA-cam videos of test reactors which is why I mentioned it.

      @paul klein 1) Yes no insults or ad homs were used, rather the tone is directly confrontational, which given the context is pretty agressive. I never mentioned hostility. You're continuing to jump on strawmen.
      There are many things that glow green in UV. I pointed out 2 separate things that perpetuate the stereotype.
      A) Cherenkov radiation would be the most likely. Your original statement is beside the point and jumping on this further is counterproductive.
      B) The "glow" became a popular portrayal due to radium dials, not uranium.
      Nothing I said about the above was incorrect. You took my comment to you out of context.
      2) sentence wasn't botched. Fuel rods are clad in zirconium alloy, thus are not exposed.
      3) Rather than asking for clarification you decide to assume and assert. I'm not one to fill out essays on the internet anymore so if I left anything out it's purely because it isn't worth my time.
      Oh and my name? Once again you decided to assume. It's a carryover from when I was a Christian. I'm no longer religious. Was that so hard to ask? This exemplifies the problem with this conversation. Miscommunication and assumptions. Needless to say I won't be furthering this. Goodbye

    Wonder where the high level (lethal dose in one second standing in front of) spent fuel bundles will end up? Other nations reprocess.. this sparks fears of nuclear proliferation (the spent bundles are full of Plutonium 239 just waiting to be separated and converted into weapons. Scary and fascinating technology we are stuck with. Great report here 👏

    Time to update reactors to genIV.
    In this old gen2 reactor type fuel becomes contaminated by fission products and only 0.5% of the potential energy is used in the "spent" fuel. Liquid fuel allow removal of xenon and actinides. Look into molten salt reactors and molten lead reactors. No water and 2000 psi pressure vessels.

    • @lesterawilson3
      @lesterawilson3 9 місяців тому

      There is still some minor exposure to radiation - but they all practice ALARA - 'As Low As Reasonably Achievable' - dose exposure. Time, distance, shielding to sources of radioactivity determine your exposure - and the radioactive work permits when they sign in to the plant determine what your maximum exposure may be for the task you are doing. During outages, there is an aggregate dose exposure goal to stay under for the entire outage for everyone. ALARA waiting areas are marked by signs / flashing green lights where people wait until they're needed to perform a task as these areas have little or no dose. Generally dose exposure goals are met or exceeded through rigorous safe work practices, ALARA behaviors and other means to mitigate exposure through shielding and maintenance of the reactor internals during outage.

    Посмотрел я на всю эту хрень и стало ясно, что реакторы РБМК хоть и имеют ряд существенных недостатков в обслуживании всётаки намного проще и технологичнее чем эти ВВЭР . Зря их так говном поливали, хоть и к Долежалю и есть вопросы, но стоило довести до ума их конструкцию чтобы не лазать по пояс в радиоактивной воде. РЗМ всё это делает автоматически и дистанционно не останавливая реактор и не разбирая его.

      Тем не менее, с графитовой деформацией проблем куча. В идеале, если делать канальный энергореактор, то лучше делать его с тяжёлой водой, по типу CANDU или КС-150.

    Get cobalt magnets and a semicircle stainless steel bowl. Surround the magnets around the bowl on outside.. Then cut a small hole on bottom. Get a 100 watt only heat rod from amazon for 10 dollars. the 100 Wat rods go about 280 degrees normally (safe) however put the rod in the hole on the center of bowl. Then attach a 4 ft nickel rod that cost 5 bucks. a nickel rod can support 1500 degrees. after attaching nickel rod to 100 wat heat rod. plug it in. The cobalt magnets will force a curie effect. all of the sudden under 5 seconds the 100 watt rod is reaching over 1200 degrees because the magnetic field is going nuts with friction.. and also the field is being forced after the explosion back to center because the magnets are pulling it back like the sun. You now have over 1000 watts of energy at only 100 watts.. cost to make is about 50 dollars. Now put that over 1000 degree nickel rod in a water tank to boil water or make steam (free heat almost).. And screw the energy department. YOu might want to get a giger counter to check because it might not need uranium to have safe effect (as hint). When vibrating electrons and heating material the effects are the same as a small reactor. I built it by accident a couple years back looking to make heat on no energy. Here is you easy stop guide.. and screw the system.dsdsf
