How a Nuclear Reactor Works - IMechE

[thejameskan]

interesting video and very informative

[thetitleisgorgeous]

thanks for the video :)

Sorry, I hate nuclear energy beacuse It pollutes the environment and makes people sick. Also alpha, beta and gama radiat,on is very dangerous for humans, animals and plants.

[ellojellofly]

@legendary9898 yeah it really stinks :( if only it was able to be contained extremely well, it might be much safer and much more sustainable, but as of now its just dangerous.

[Detoyato]

@ellojellofly A Nuclear Plant would pollute a lot less than any fossil fueled plant there is. Radiation isnt as bad as you would think. The problem here lies in what to do with the spent fuel (about 3% spent), Most Countries just buries it. But there are some who actually go through the trouble of using up the remaining 97%, until literally most of the long lived (the million years or more) Radioisotopes has been Fissioned for useful energy.

@legendary9898 I have no idea where you got your information from but they have no idea what they're talking about. My cousin just did a presentation in New Mexico in support of nuclear fission and I can assure you they've already had the means of containing radiation for quite some time. Quick fyi, radioactivity is occurring RIGHT NOW in every corner of the planet. It's a natural occurrence ;)

@migsluck1 natural yes, but the scale is a lot smaller than a nuclear power plant, and this is for legendary9898, alpha waves are fine, no harm there

[nascarracer1]

everyone who diliked this is from a third world country

[ellojellofly]

@nascarracer1 wow... thats not very nice...

[mynameisradar]

wo!

[WhiKeDz]

thumbs up if this got your homework done!

[9Masked9Koala9]

@WhiKeDz nah i studied!

[fegde]

I don't know why but I find nuclear energy so fascinating...I would love to visit a nuclear power plant sometime. Too bad it can have such bad consequences after an accident.

[dslandrey]

This is very nice!! Congratulations!!

[molinayona]

wow i got the whole idea great ilutrastion. i kinda got an idea but this clear up everything to me

[woodwindvista]

Excellent, comprehendible video. I like nuclear energy compared to burning fossil fuels.

[sukebegaijin1]

@woodwindvista i like it too. but not at the moment.

[sshealy1]

Is there no audio?

[Nuclear793]

yep

[flatbranch1]

were is the cooling toweres

[DGFerro]

@flatbranch1 Some plants operate without cooling towers using bodies of water as heat sinks.

[demoniack81]

@DGFerro

Some also continuously pump the water from a river/lake, use it as tertiary coolant and then dump it back in the river

amazing
