  • we need to build more nuclear power stations

  • I support nuclear power

  • nice informative video. shame that we create something that destroyes long after we use it, we call that clean, just to boil water. really what a silly idea. of all the ways to heat water.

  • @jasperkabbani Well, burning fossil fuels is technically easier, but nuclear energy is much cleaner. Burning coal has large impacts on the environment. Now, they are saying that nuclear energy can cause thermal pollution, but thats something that can be potentially eliminated. Overall it is the most effective, efficient way to create energy at the moment.

  • It seems like we should be able to use electrolysis to power some hydrogen torches, they burn at around the temperature of the sun if I'm not mistaken. Why not use that as a heat source instead of f#$%ing radiation? There are several patents out for improved electrolysis processes. This is not beyond our reach.

  • @dustin8420 Electrolysis requires electricity, generating electricity is the problem we are trying to solve in the first place.

  • so it's really only steam that's creating electricity... isn't there an easier way to create this sort of steam?

  • @jasperkabbani Nope.

  • @jasperkabbani Nuclear power is the cheapest and probably cleanest way to generate heat on a large scale. Your other options are to burn something (causes pollution or de-forrestation), solar power (far more expensive), geothermal power (can only be used in certain places) or nuclear fusion (dose not yet exist).

  • i dont know why, but this video reminds me of half life ... probably the sound.

  • @BUGBUSTERss me reminds me of resident evil 2

  • @staM034 never played resident evil 2, probably all games made in that time sounds a like lol

  • I love how they put the contaner in with no cap.

  • Do you know how MAGNETS work?

  • it would acttually be cool to fight off mutaters

  • im so gunna go buy some of that uranium shit i want free energy il put it in my backyard apparently russia has loads of it im moving there

  • what did you use to make this?

  • Cool, so its like combining wind power and solar energy.

  • @shinokiba not cool cuz the radiation can kill

  • @vincentstockdaletv If there are high winds, a wind turbine can explode, which can cause death.

  • Does a nuclear power plant need outside electricity from the grid to operate safely or does it generate it's own electricity to run the pumps, lights, computers, valves, and other stuff?

  • @johnny102marvin Normally, at power, we take a little of the energy we generate and use it to supply our own "house loads." Upon a reactor shutdown however, we have to get that power from the grid. In the even of a loss of grid, we have emergency diesel generators capable of supplying all of our safe shutdown loads for 7 days before refueling. All of this happens automatically, or we as operators can do it manually. Hope that helps.

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

    Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page

  • weird sound fx 

  • I feel stupider having watched that. Do yourself a favour and watch video VJfIbBDR3e8 instead.

  • We need to think about switching to safer ways of power so we don't rely on nuclear power. Check out the "Nuclear Ninjas" video

  • @9cthoma WHY? what's wrong with nuclear power?

  • "Steam then powers the turbines creating energy".

    No energy is created ever. The kinetic energy of the steam and its enthalpy is transformed into usable work. Energy is transformed not created!

  • @T0B0KKE the steam passing through the turbine results in the creation of... power? energy? electricity? Pick your word.

  • @l2onniel It is not power, energy or electricity that is the wrong word. It is the word "Creation"! Lavoisier said: "Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed". Energy is transformed, not created.

  • And btw. Power, electricity and energy are completely different things. Energy is the capability to induce a change in state, i.e., speed, position, mass, temperature,etc... Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. Electricity is the word used to denominate all the phenomenons related to the electric field, and therefore, electric charges (electrons).

  • (continuing my last post) ... we as humans, can live in a non-electric world.

  • @DragmodNotloc Humans can, 7 billion humans not so much.

  • how is it that steam "powers the turbines"??

  • I like the fact that essentially this is just steam power except instead of coal they're using uranium.

  • What's funny is that most people fail to realize that Nuclear reactors and power plants are the safest places in the world, as in, they have more security and means of prevention and reaction if shit were to get out of hand. They don't let just ANYONE work anywhere where there's Uranium/Plutonium/MOX fuel. I'm telling you, this shit is strapped down tight.

  • nice video, I want to build my own personal nuclear reactor at home to save electric bills :D

  • You excluded how the cooling system is required (one of the Fukushima problems)

  • Funny job?

  • it's the exact way how farts are generated.

  • This NOT HOW I BUILD MY REACTORS nor is the way my REACTORS WORK ! !

  • crazy, we are simply crazy

  • Time to shut down all of our Nuclear Plants!

  • @fight2legalize no way build 10 more as fast as we can

  • @fight2legalize no its time to build 100s of these, only two incidents of death from nuclear power, fukushima and Chernobyl, all had old technology cooling systems and reactors, yet 100s of incidents from fossil fuels but because enviornmentalists we are stuck with old dangerous power plants even though the world could be on just clean energy if we built the new power plants with far safer reactors and cooling systems

  • @chillercm Radiation has killed thousands. We don't even need power. We need a major emp. Humans are too stupid for nuclear power. We let our dumbass elite build these thing in the most dangerous spots. Nuclear power plants are more like weapons than anything. Death to the power grid!

  • @fight2legalize "death to the power grid" he says, has he uses power, from the grid.

    god I hate hypocrites.

    The more Nuclear power the better!

  • @DragmodNotloc Make sure you build it on top of a fault line and live right nest to it as well.

  • @fight2legalize I already live in Uranium country, 3 generations and no cancer, um, I wonder just how safe it all is. I fact the township is currently fighting uneducated folk like you because a town full of librals is crying because we want a new Mill to be put in nearby.

  • @DragmodNotloc Humans are stupid. We have allowed our governments to build nuclear power plants on fault lines and over super volcanoes. That's the reason why they are so dangerous. If we could destroy the evil f_cks that cause horror on this planet, we could then probably build safe nuclear plants around the globe. I'm for no power on the planet. I think if we continue to use power, it should be solar only. The sun gives us plenty of energy.

  • @fight2legalize I have a challenge for you then, see if you can go 2 weeks without using any power in your home. Switch of you breakers, go get some candles, matches, and fresh foods that don't require a microwave to cook. you cannot use your phone, TV, computer, hot water heater, car, etc.

    before saying the world doesn't need electricity, see if you yourself can live without it.

    in fact, in the challenge, you can use one object that uses electricity, a video camera. prove to the world that...

  • @DragmodNotloc Unfortunately I can't do this at the moment because of where I live. I'll soon be claiming land and building an Earth home. I have two solar powered generators. We will soon be knocked back to a pre-electronic state anyway. No one will have power as soon as the incoming celestial body gets closer. We may all be dead by late October anyway. I'll try to go beyond your challenge by then. For know I will use what electricity I get to fight the system with words on a screen.

  • @fight2legalize a celestial body is coming to kill us you say, well if it will be anything like the last major impact, even your solar panels will become useless, seeing there wouldnt be any sunlight for some time until the dust settles back to earth. what you should get instead is a small portable Nuclear Reactor, it even works in the dark, I could even send you at least 4 years worth of uranium free of charge, i just have to pick it up off the ground behind my house. (raw state, non-enriched)

  • @DragmodNotloc I didn't figure my solar power would work. I'm just saying, I'd rather use that than coal or nuclear. I'm just praying for no electricity even though several thousands of pretty pennies were spent on them. I'm sure nuclear is better than coal.

  • @fight2legalize I appreciate your comment, but may I paraphrase it, what you wish for is a future in which there is now demand for a large scale power grid, which is in fact falling into major disrepair due to a lack of funding (it out grew its resources) I'm also in favor of "renewable resources"

    but until then, I see Nuclear power as the best alternative. It just irritates me when people cry out against things with false statements, such as your comment to chillercm and a few others.

  • @fight2legalize

    The sun is not a reliable source of energy. It is only available half of the day, and gives no business opportunity to small-time power companies, like Dominion Power, ect.  Rather, it gives all of the electricity industries to the government, and ultimately, the NWO, which would control the entire Earth's electricty.

    Tree-hugging assholes like you need to die

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun You're obviously the demon. You can die and live with Lue.

  • @fight2legalize

    I don't believe in demons.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun That's irrelevant. I believe in facts.

  • @fight2legalize

    If you believe in facts, you don't believe in demons.

    If you believe in facts, you would know solar power is unreliable and cannot sustain the entire world, while hydro-power and nuclear power are much more reliable and better forms of energy-conversions than solar energy.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun The sun is a constant source! It put's out enough energy in 1 second to power world for and entire year numb skull. Don't play me for a fool. You need to educate yourself as well.

  • @fight2legalize

    Can you imagine the number of solar panels that would have to be placed across the world to absorb this amount of "1 second" energy? It puts OUT that much energy, but the majority of it is not directed towards the Earth, fool. Even when it is in the view of the sun, only half of the world has access to the sun's power every 12 hours.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun Regardless, it's still hit earth with enough energy  to give us all the power we need. I don't care to argue about power anymore. It won't matter in 4 months or so anyway.

  • @fight2legalize

    4 months or so?

    What do you think is gonna happen, some big green-activist uprising? LOL.

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun No, a big ass space object that is inbound. We're literally going to be toast. Major pole shift coming due to it. Planet X/Nibiru/Comet Elenin is coming. ELENIN= Extinction Level Event Nibiru/Nemesis Is Near. It's Judgement time!

  • @fight2legalize

    Right.....and I'm the Easter Bunny, eh?

    I'm pretty sure people at NASA would be pissing their pants and doing something if this statement was true. It's impossible for them to NOT know about it, and a simpleton like you to know it.

  • @fight2legalize

    Also, Comet Elenin is not directly on course to Earth. It's gonna miss Earth by 21 million miles, and it will have no effect on Earth. "The effects of the comet on Earth at closest approach will be as inconsequential as that of a mosquito slamming head-on into an ocean-going supertanker."

  • @AGeekWithAShotgun You're entirely misled. Good luck to you.

  • @fight2legalize on second thought, you are crazy.

    I actualy took you for a smart guy earlier, I stand corrected.

  • @DragmodNotloc You're opinion doesn't really matter to me. Thanks though.

  • @fight2legalize

    Your computer is running on the "power grid".

    How bout if I come and take all electricity-powered devices in your house. Will that make you happy???

  • PLEASE EXPLAIN WHERE THE INITIAL NEUTRON CHARGE COMES FROM IN A COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR REACTOR THAT INTIATES THE ENTIRE FISSION PROCESS, I HAVE WATCHED A NUMBER OF VIDEOS ON THE SUBJECT BUT WOULD LOVE TO SEE A REAL COLLEGE LEVEL VIDEO THAT WILL TRULY EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON HOW THE NUCLEAR FISSION PROCESS REALLY WORKS , ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO FISSION REACTORS THAT ARE USED IN ALL MODERN DAY ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS, DETAILS! PLEASE EXPLAIN THE ENTIRE PROCESS! mastermoviemaker2010@gmail.com

  • i'll take 122,000 hits - pass it dude!

  • Comment removed

  • I am guessing the water is not drinkable after this prossess?

  • Technically the steam turbine works like one on a steam train.

  • Not true :) The heavy wather heats the normal wather witch then runs the turbine and the turbine runs the generator :)

  • Interesting I like it

  • To add to what I said... If heat could be magically generated, the world's energy problems would be solved. Again, it must come from somewhere. The laws of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. So, what you have with nuclear plants is uranium---> chain reactions ---> heat ---> boiling water ----> steam -----> kinetic energy from the turbines -----> electricity. e=mc^2 explains nuclear reactors.

  • Ok so the steam powers the turbines, but How do the turbines create energy?

  • lol @ the sound of the bomb left in fort knox in the bond movie "goldfinger"

  • What a retarded video. Wast time created by a moron

  • Is this a newer style of reactor? I thought that fuel rods were raised or lowered (depending on how much power is required).

  • Comment removed

  • I'm studying nuclear science, I love my classes, I got a crazy teacher who wears dark glasses.

  • I dont get it, so nuclear energy is to heat up water. Why dont they use giant kettles and boil the water that way.

  • @andresviveros No it makes steam and that powers a generator.

  • @andresviveros what is going to power the kettles???

  • @andresviveros Because if you split atoms you can get ALOT more heat and when you boil water with kettles, you need coal or something, wich is more expensive then uranium and causes unhealthy smoke.

  • @andresviveros

    Dude, the water has to be boiled. What boils water? Heat. Ok, so what generates heat? The heat has to come from somewhere. You can get it by burning stuff like coal, but that's not as efficient as nuclear, which can take a very small amount of matter and convert it to energy. So, that's how it works basically.

  • Fukushima incident made this video much more popular

  • NICE SHIT, I LOVE NUCLEAR REACTOR NOW , GL JAPAN LOL

  • haha im no nuclear physicist, i just get stoned and make videos!! haha either way 122,000 hits is awesome

  • @KingTorment good work if you did made this vid, even better work being stoned any making this vid :) !

  • @KingTorment hey dude,what software do you use to create animation?Thanks in advance

  • So......not the uranio crates energy...but the steam...explain some one

  • @DMulisha13 The energy is created when the heat coming from the nuclear reaction heats up water and directs it towards a turbine. This turbine turns and generates electricity to power things. Hopefully that helped. Also sorry if someone else already answered.

  • @KnightsofthefallenGu thx man, and now i have another question....why do they use radioactive material? (uranium and such)...can't you achieve the same with just fire in a control way...that would be much easier and less explosive....??

  • @DMulisha13 The reason they use Radioactive material is because it is a lot more eco friendly and renuable than using fire to boil the water. Think if they did use the fire what would they need to produce that flame?

  • @KnightsofthefallenGu ohh true true..never thought of that...thx man fro making it clear..one last question...but even if Radioactive material is eco friendly...it can produce some serious damage if miss-used...tis there another way to have the same solution (steam) and not having to worry about the rads become to unstable or too high?

  • @DMulisha13 If you are talking about Radioactive material then. To make it safer the power plant could be built in an area that isnt prone to earthquakes or other natural disasters an example where this wasnt done would be Japan. In fairness though the Japanese have been know for their skill in making buildings earthquake proof. Secondly the Power plant itself could be made to witstand more abuse and to be safer and lastly the Power plant cold be build in an isolated are or somewhere far from

  • @KnightsofthefallenGu other places. The problem with the last one is workers having to get there though.

    If you are asking about ways other than nuclear to produce the steam that is eco friendly then, i honestly dont know, and if i did i may be a very rich person. So sorry, but i hope i helped you. :)

  • @KnightsofthefallenGu thx man! your info was very helpful i always wanted to know how Nuclear Plants work...thanks again man!!

  • @DMulisha13 Np, mate good to know i helped. Also i don't know about you but this is the first time i have seen a comment come up as a linked comment.

  • @KnightsofthefallenGu a linked comment??....i never heard that before....and thanks again!

  • I bet people came to see this after the Fukushima incident XD

  • lol the ambient music used is from a pc game, I just can´t remember witch... maybe Command and Conquer

  • This is for monkeys or insanely stupid people

  • Poor video.

    Highly inaccurate.

  • D2O? Are you kidding me? D isn't even in the Periodic table of Elements. And heavy water doesn't even exist, all except what compounds you add to water, like disolvents such as NaHCO3, salt. Or anything anhydrous.

  • @Snystrom2 - D20 does exist and it is nick named "heavy water". T30 also exists and it is nicknamed "super heavy water". D stands for deuterium which is a stable isotope of hydrogen (the hydrogen atom has 1 proton and one neutron). T stands for tritium which is an unstable isotope of hydrogen ( hydrogen has 1 proton and 2 neutrons). Deuterium reacts with oxygen to form D20. D20 is most found deep deep deep in our oceans. T20 is rare because tritium is rare and has a half life of 12 years.

  • @LooieENG2 ebay

  • Ther usin d20 heavy water not h20 drinking water

  • Pretty simplified but still good

  • i dont get it ??

  • they don't use ordinary water )H2O) they use heavy water (H3O) which has an extra hydrogen atom.

  • I hate it when liberals use nuclear power plants as propaganda for global warming. If they knew so much about science they should know that those are cooling towers with just steak coming out of them , not pollution

  • @Puz123CP mmmmm, steak! Naww jk just a spelling error

  • It's not actually H20 water being used, it's D20 (heavy water).

  • I don't mind having nuclear power, I just don't want to live near one, just in case.....

  • ichowitworksnowthx

    

  • Water is very difficult to neutron activate, so effectively the only radioactivity is in dissolved salts or particulates. Filtering and deionizing is important.

  • Comment removed

  • @puncheex What do you mean by neutron activate? Water will hold radiation, but typically for only a short time, and it also decomposes easily upon irradiation.

  • @synapsekiller17: When a material is Irradiated with neutrons, a small fraction of the material's nuclei will absorb a neutron. In some cases, that will lead to the nuclei becoming radioactive. A good example is salt; normal sodium nuclei (Na23) absorbs a neutron and becomes intensely radioactive Na24, with a half life of 15 hours. In water, OTOH, the hydrogen nuclei have to absorb 2 neutrons to become unstable, and oxygen has to be hit three times....

  • ... Since a neutron striking any particular nucleus is a very low probability event, water is considered to be immune from neutron activation. Alpha, beta and gamma radiation do not activate the materials they pass through, though they may destroy chemical bonds, so they cannot activate anything.  Neutron activation is the only way top make an otherwise stable material radioactive, other than simply mixing or combining it with a radioactive isotope.

  • Thumbs up for safe nuclear energy!

    Now to work on nuclear fusion :3

  • 24 people were Chernobyl Operators

  • how long can uranium create extreme temperatures whilst constantly been bombarded by particles..how long before it burns out and cant sustain a reaction ?

  • Comment removed

  • @Fleetfox10: the fuel lasts for an amount of time determined by the power output and the size of he fuel load. The constant bombardment is not really a factor, except how it is the result of the rate at which the reactor is set at.

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU IT HELP ME ALOT WITH MY PROECT

  • this is wrong in some way for one the water surrounding the reactor core is called heavy water which does not evaporate at the same temperature as normal water the heavy water is then pumped to through a pipe inside the normal water chamber witch them evaporates the normal water creating the turbine cycle but before the steam returns back into the water chamber it is sent into another chamber which cools the steam using cool lake water pumped through pipes in to the chamber and back out again.

  • @gazzersnipe: You described a pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR). They can run on naturally occurring uranium (no enhancement required), and are more efficient than the light water reactor described. Heavy water is expensive, and refueling must occur more often. It uses 2 cycles and a heat exchanger to minimize the amount of HW that is needed.

  • Let's shoot our used uranium to Uranus!

  • @priony "the worst case if just overheat," - Can you name all the countries from Ukraine to Wales that had radioactive mess dropped on them from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986?

  • @RichardDTube: Yes, it was a disaster. Burning coal is also a disaster, having spread far more destruction that Chernobyl ever did.

  • Simplfied, yes, but not a problem. The biggest problem is "...powers the turbines creating energy". The energy was created when the atoms split, apart from that "energy can neither be created nor destroyed" as we were taught at school.

  • but what causes radiation? Ba, Kr, or n?

  • This video is oversimplified and misleading. That IS NOT how nuclear power works exactly. While designs vary, in general, let me fix the mistakes: The primary water that passes through the reactor core NEVER turns to steam. That leads to a core meltdown. The primary water is heated up, and passes that heat energy on to secondary water in steam generators. The primary water NEVER comes in direct contact with the secondary water (which you see turn to steam in the cooling towers). Former Navy nuke

  • @utahpowhound That's gotta be Noforn or Confidential dude.. when did you get out?

  • @synapsekiller17What? That is common knowledge that any high school physics student would be familiar with. Do you understand what is actually restricted info? Operating conditions: pressure, temperature, chemistry, etc. The fundamentals of reactor plant theory are not restricted.

  • Comment removed

  • Respond to this video... What? That is basic reactor plant theory that ANY high school physics student could know with a little reading. Do you know what restricted information is? Operating conditions: temps, depths, speed, pressures, chemistry, etc.

  • @utahpowhound You're totally right, plant construction is also restricted. Plus, my comment was meant as mostly a joke. I'm well aware of what restricted info is. Please don't tell me you were a wire rate...

    -Current Navy Nuke

  • @synapsekiller17 Alright man, if I had known you are a nuke, then it's all obvious. I was an ELT (even better, right?). Got out in 1998.

  • @synapsekiller17 Alright man, if I had known, it's obvious. I was an ELT (even better, right?). Out in 1998.

  • @utahpowhound There is more than one design of reactor. The video is correct for a Boiling Water Reactor (it isn't a very good explanation though). What you are describing is a Pressurized Water Reactor.

  • @utahpowhound Actually, you're wrong. That is how a pressurized reactor works. This video demonstrates a boiling water reactor. This video shows both types of reactors:

    /watch?v=VJfIbBDR3e8

  • @utahpowhound

    is that primary water just ordinary water?

    what is heavy water?

  • @utahpowhound

    What you describe is a pressurized water reactor. But this Video is about nuclear reactors in general and there are reactors who the steam is boiled directly by the reactor. This reactors are called boiling water reactor and are quite commmon.

    See Wikipedia

    But in some reactors the water for the steam turbines is boiled directly by the reactor core, for example the boiling water reactor.

    Have a nice Day

  • @utahpowhound thank you for that clarification

  • The cooling part sounds like a basic CPU-cooling kit for a computer.

  • @Layon86 not even close look at utahpowhounds comment above...hes right!

  • i saw another video and it states that shows that the steam is not generated directly from the water in contact with the reactor core, using "boils law" the temperature and pressure are maintained so that the water that is in direct contact with the water dose not "flash" into steam it stays a very high pressure and temperature "supper heated" liquid. the heat transfer from the surface areas of the piping coils heats a TOTALLY separate course of uncontaminated water which is turned to steam

  • Awesome Good,i watch this,i`ll know how do it works~

  • Imagine it is dark before you're on such a basin and hear only the water, but know what it looks like in this room. Terrible imagination^^

    Sorry for mistakes in my english if it is so...

  • @HybridPineapple If the steam coming out of the towers was radioactive then all people around the tower would die. Steam can 't be radioactive unless mixed with radiation. Which would not happen in a nuclear power plant.

  • @SOMERANDOMGUYDOZ technically mixed with radioavtive particles.. Steam mixed/exposed with radiotion won't make it radioactive obviously...

  • @ArcadeeRPG dump the uranium in the middle east problem solved and how big is the Sahara and who lives there

  • this makes so much more sense than my ap enviro book

  • i love the dripping sound lol

  • this was exactly what i needed!! i cant thank u enough, it really helped me LOADS xxxxxxxxx

  • Why is the steam not radio active?

    Why does steam come out of towers then?

  • @HybridPineapple those are cooling towers they help cool the water to saturated liquid temperature so it can be used again

  • @HybridPineapple The steam isn't radioactive because the atoms in the water vapor (hydrogen and oxygen) aren't unstable. The steam comes out of the aptly named "Cooling Towers" because it needs to cool down, in order to turn back into water.

  • ...For some reason I like watching random stuff.

  • This was pretty useful, nice sound effects.

    only problem at 1:02 - you can't create energy foo'!

  • @BillyBobsEel I think he meant converting the atomic energy to electric energy

  • I need this for a project thx :)

  • if you made that congrats its great thk for sharing it! :)

  • Cool video.. However its still incomplete. It didnt show how it pass the Nuclear Reactor to Steam Generator. Its impossible from control rods to produce steam :) lol

  • Boiling Water Reactors do boil water to steam. Pressurized Water Reactors have Steam generators. There are advantages to both. So it's not incomplete for that reason.

  • thanks, this is gonna help me on my science project

  • no i guess it requires a neutron to make it decay instantly and diffuse energy
