Probably a good peaceful useful way to use nuclear energy in places where power is needed, especially after a big storm or other emergencies Interesting concept
US Nuclear Submarines have been used that way, as well as the Soviet / Russian Nuclear Barge. But these are not subjected to vibration, heat stress, metal fatigue due to low temperatures, etc.
Thought this was cool till I realized they’re all conventional diesel tanks hauling around a portable nuclear reactor that gets SET UP once on site. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff.

They would have made it nuclear / electric if that was pratical, but using an existing tank suspension, engine & transaxle was cheaper, safer and quicker to build...

@@Andresen.All?. Nuclear power is the safest energy ever. More people die in wind turbines and solar panels production and operation than in nuclear plants. Fukushima was japanese corruption allowing back up generators on an active refrigeration reactor to be below sea level right I'm the coast. And zero people died of radiation, all people died due flooding and the evacuation. Yes more people die during the evacuation to save people from the reactors that never killed anyone. Chernobyl was a dangerous design pushed to the limits by incompetent bureaucrats. The other 3 reactors are still operational . More people died during the emergency response that actual casualties from the incident (which was barely 48 people directly despite the nonsense propaganda that was burned in the common folk mind by sensationalistic press). Coal energy kill thousands of people yearly. Coal burning releases radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere causing thyroid and lung cancer to nearby communities. Oil killed millions of people in explosions, toxic waste, accidents, caused millions of cases of cancer around the world. France has 80% of it's energy being produced by nuclear power... Germany closed it's nuclear plants, opened new coal burning plants and imports nuclear produced electricity from France and Poland...
@@Andresen. Compared to how many oil spills and fires there have been, nuclear really doesn't have many accidents at all. Human error is unfortunately the biggest cause in any accident.
@@AhmadRaza-z7x That is propaganda. The amortized cost during the entire life cycle of a nuclear plant is lower than all other energy production methods. Nuclear cost a lot to build (until cheap streamline mass produced 4gen small module reactors enter the game) but the massive electrical production on it's lifespan has a very low cost which turns nuclear plants cheaper on the same period of times when you add the cost of all other methods. And nuclear plants can be refurbished and extended 30/50 years past their utility design. Wind turbines are very expensive too, they required thousands of times the engineering works of a nuclear power plant to achieve the size to produce the same energy than the later. The wind turbines require thousands of tons of reinforced concrete under massive ground dig for their foundation. Thats a lot of concrete and steel production pollution. The blades are made of plastic fiber, with resins which are produced by very toxic methods. They have a short lifespan and must be constantly repaired until being decommissioned. Currently the older wind generators are being passed out and left abandoned. No to mention some of them kill endangered birds that use the same winds they are placed to take advantage off. Just now they are putting cameras to brake the blades if bird flocks are nearby. Solar energy has 20 years of life cycle, it's production is very expensive en terms of energy and to produce the panels they use large amounts of cyanide, arsenic and mercury, some of the worst and most lethal pollutants in use. Much of which end up in river streams and the trophic chain.< The giant surfaces solar and wind power need to produce the same amount of energy as a very limited and relatively small size nuclear plant is absurd. And recycling them is extremely expensive or impossible. Thus why the older ones are left abandoned. Plus spent nuclear fuel is so small in tonnage. Is very limited, lots of nuclear industry byproducts and waste is used in other industries and the new thorium and older breather reactors can reuse the spent nuclear fuel and turn it into more fuel for next generation reactors making nuclear fuel waste virtually zero. Nuclear waste in reality is a problem for the non nuclear items used in the industry, irradiated clothing, accessories, tools, containers, materials, robots. Earth itself is radioactive, we just need to bury them in very old stable geological formations or nearby subduction plates, so they get swallowed to the mantle.
10:26 I don't see how this would "still be a highly dangerous method to generate power" honestly. Carrying a truck full of oil is many times more risky than carrying a modular heavily shielded micro reactor.
I, for one, would like a video on the reactor barge. Remember hearing about it back in the day. Also, since small reactors might be making a comeback, do you think that the technology for the trains would make sense now? Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
the weight in the shielding is too heavy, and with modern reactors designed with so many redundant and passive safety mechanisms, reactors are much safer but also much heavier. I don't think the idea is any more plausible now than it was then.
Recommandation : Read "The Dramatic History of Soviet Nuclear Submarines" ; published around '92. There is a lot here, written by the 2 first commanders of K-3 (first nuclear soviet sub at sea), then perspective from a higher up on accidents report to the parti. Really interesting & terryfing stuff, definitly recommend for a subject.
I adore your videos ! I just make an enormous queue every night and fall asleep to them. When I have time during the day watch them with great interest. Just a gem of a channel. Thank you for your work !
The Soviet Union definitely had some bold and groundbreaking projects. It’s a shame the TES3 wasn’t used more widely, but it remains a unique concept that shows their forward thinking vision for nuclear technology
I was thinking the same thing. Usually when dealing with nuclear powered transportation there is a heat exchanger to ensure the exhaust isn't radioactive. The inefficiency of the exchanger was one of the reasons that made nuclear powered bombers not feasible in the US.
The Cold War was crazy not only in military, but also in civilans lives USA and USSR try to make vehicles using nuclear power as fuel. Like US Nuclear MBT TV-8, Jet nuclear powered NX-2, the Soviet Nuclear Train, Nuclear power drill/drop transporter and Icebreaker ships and so on.
Well. Its a great project for a apocalíptic situation. With a better design and materials. And heavy bigger crawler threads and some mounted Guns you should roll out to The ends of Earth with your family non stop...

Russia has been making Nuclear Reactors that are portable via sea routes ! They made them with a five level redundancy regarding safety! I guess, I should have watched until the end 😅
@@LiquidusEvilusI guess in a worst case scenario they can just open the valves and sink the barge to the bottom of the harbour if the reactor was about to meltdown
Nuclear Reactor produces alot of energy, but its downside is that it cannot be easily stopped and turned-on. It also makes sense to separate the engine that carries it around, and the reactor itself, so it can be moved without the nuclear reactor itself turned-on or have the fuel. Its mission is to be a self-propelled portable generator, not to be a nuclear tank.
Other cheaper and safer power sources exist. Thuse no nuclear trains or flying aircraft carriers. The Roman idea of build a fort every 5 miles. Is a good idea. A better one is to tunnel under the artic ice sheet. This offers the advantage of insolated wind protection and eltric powered trains for cargo and troupers. underground reinforced living areas desined like vacuum tubes to keep contents in constrnt 70 degrees temperatures in the under ice sheet exploration community Cargo and troopers can travel on safety in eltric powered trains that lead back to a power plant. On the cost of Antarctica. With oil drilling and converting it to desile. To run generation plants on cost. Cheaper, safer is better. If anything like gold,or oil is discovered then pipes with outer vacuum tubes could be made to pump it back to the cost. Or gold trains.
