15 LARGEST Nuclear Facilities in the World
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2024
- A Nuclear Power Plant is a thermal power station that employs a nuclear reactor to create a heat source. The heat generates steam to drive the turbines, which in turn produce electricity within their generators. As of 2022, there are 440 nuclear power plants operating across 33 countries and territories around the globe! But building these plants can be pretty tough, and take anywhere from five years to a decade to build, and can cost a fortune. But, they are proving to be more and more important as the world turns and as the need for renewable energies becomes more apparent. So join us for today’s video, where we look at the 15 largest nuclear facilities!

NP is the gold standard of clean energy. It’s as clean and safe as any alternative, requires a fraction of the resources and produces clean, reliable energy 24/7/365. NP really is the premier example of dematerialization in which we actually use less to produce more.
until it blows up
@@pablokatz9062
If you think that NP is higher risk than the alternatives then you haven't actually looked into it. If you do you'll find that no method of energy production has a lower mortality rate.
@@pablokatz9062 fire can also burn your house down, so why would we use it?
@@pablokatz9062 That confirms you know nothing about nuclear power.
Society needs to looks at the entire nuclear fuel cycle to be able to say that confidently.
Found this very interesting and informative. Love it or hate it, nuclear power generation currently has it's place in a balanced energy portfolio.
Well, I love it.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa NPP could supply a country like Portugal almost fully with electricity, and we have one measly 65MW solar farm occupying basically the same area. The insanity of ignoring nuclear power
@Eric Liu I agree totally with that.
Bioenergies have a lot of potential.
Forest management waste, agricultural waste, food waste, even human waste (poop).
I'm guessing you are trying to pin down on corn ethanol? Well, the corn for ethanol isn't edible, and the processed mash is fed to cattle anyway. It could be burned itself, we use Grape bagasse to distill ethanol from other grape bagasse for an alcoholic beverage (we call it "bagasse firewater") where the cellulosic waste is burned to generate steam for steam distillation of the remaining ethanol in the bagasse after the wine is pressed out. After its depleted it is dried, and thrown into the furnace itself. We cofire wood waste and the depleted bagasse.
Geothermal is just nuclear with cheats, and Hydro is an excellent companion for any other energy source. Efficient, quick responding, PSH is a great storage tool, and multi use.
@Eric Liu Well said by you and JDaniel M.
I live 5 minutes from the Bruce nuclear plant, and worked there for over 10 years….👍🏻
That first thing you showed, which you said is part of nuclear powerplants is a "tokamak", that is something which is in an experimental stage, a nuclear fusion reactor, and such thing is still not making energy, what we have as nuclear powerplants work on nuclear fission, so it is a gross mistake.
Nuclear fusion not fission
Yes its nuclear fusion. As being researched in the UK by the UKAEA and joint European collaborators at Culham Laboratory Oxfordshire England.
And i also wonder why there are so many Pictures of Powerplants wich are not in direct connection with what he is saying at the same Moment. For Example 4:23 is Tschernobyl and not Hong Yan Hey. 4:50 is a lathe und has nothing to do with what he is telling. The whole video is confusing. Also Cattenom (8:05) The Information about the Location is not correct. Luxemburg is Luxemburg at its own..Cattenom is in France and not "Just Outside Luxemburg/France)
As one of the first parts of the clip, you show a FUSION reactor, LOL ;-)
What are the top 15 nuclear wastes garbages facilities ?
They're all awesome.
I did not expect the Bruce power station to make it that high on the list. I spent almost the entire video just expecting that it was somewhere on this list.
Crazy
I wish more and more nuclear power plants were of the true fail safe CANDU design. They are the only reactor type that can safely shut down and the fuel reach a cool state when there is a major loss of coolant to the core. All other reactors must circulate coolant as part of their shut down or emergency systems. The CANDU is also the only reactor that can refuel itself while in operation. One of my brother in laws works there at Bruce and used to work at Pickering.
while Kashiwazaki-Kariwa is offline, Kori is the largest plant currently fully operational
Kori will also be the largest in world when the new reactors are fully constructed
Is this voice some kind of artificial or cgi kind of thing? Because i sounds funny the way he talks about units like MW ect.
Join us for watching amazing interesting airplane and entertaining videos.
Why was the video of hazmat suits necessary?
I AM SURPRISED, YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE UNITED STATES.
WHERE ARE THEY IN THIS RANK?
The US NPPs usually have fewer reactors than the ones abroad as you guys stopped building them to soon.
@@simonloncaric7967 and they were never built in large groups because they were made privately and that would have been too much money for a single company
Nuclear Power is the answer for base load supply around the world. The policy makers should keep them going. The general design life is around 40 yrs and plans for replacement must be adhered to. Yes they take long time to build but are stable source of large amount of energy. Smaller plants are also coming and must be encouraged. Rather than one huge machine, 2 or more mid size are far better.
Well
As much as people end-up on the streets, anyone would assume that teaching youth, how to set-up a tent, before the limbs freeze 🥶 up, catch gangrene, & fall-off, & or need to be amputated is absolutely necessary! #TheAbuseOfPower #LickedySplit
1:00 “4,000 meters of water equivalent” lol. I assume you mean 4000MWe which is 4000 megawatts equivalent…
Megawatt “electric”
How about a video about the smallest reactors. Distributed power generation should be our future.
Arunachal Pradesh has the potential to generate 100,000 Terawatt
no.
China just started it's Thorium fueled Sodium cooled reactor from 1960s American designs.
Sad Japan earthquake prone plants can't safely operate... Illogical to build such huge facilities on earth quake prone regions..
You can tell if the narrator actually knows what they are talking about by the way they pronounce the word "turbine."
well depends on where you are from doesn't it? I like the fact it's an actual narrator though instead of TTS. He says the "turbine" the way I do too. : )
@@fn0rd-f5o Are you in the nuclear power industry?
[4:20] They're building Chernobyl-style RBMK reactors in China?! 🤣
No. It was said in the video.
No. PWR's or Pressurised Water Reactors as clearly stated in the video. Sizewell B in England is such a reactor design. Just not on the same scale as elsewhere.
@@neilhilton35 yeah, i guess he knows, he's refering to the picture of an RBMK popping up out of context at 4:20. Kindof a big mistake...
One day, the anti-nuclear folks will have to answer for setting us back so far in the fight for climate change and decarbonization.
and still with that power plant Chinese are missing electricity pretty shitty nuclear power plant
China built Westinghouse AP1000 all over with France helping quality control.
South Korea
Japan
China
France
Canada
Ukraine
I grew up next to Bruce power, was fun doing nuclear meltdown drills as a child🤣
I live in Tiverton!👍🏻
1st 1, like china cares about containment and there people.......ha. Everything there is tofu dreg whats different with this site.
Good now I have more targets for my world dominatrix.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
3.6 Roentgen
You should have called it top 15 Asian nuclear reactors as only the Canadian one was outside of Asia
Did you even watch the whole video? Not at alll there was one in France, one in Ukraine…
I did watch it all but 95% the places was in Asia
And the title was world's largest only 4 were out side Asia
@@projectdarknessgaming4994 80% of the power plants in the video are in Asia. Asia is also part of the world. Bruce and Zaporizjzja are the only nuclear power stations outside Asia that reaches top 10 largest capacity. So no. He should not have called it anything else.
I can only think of a few greater failures than neuclear energy generation, but none with a higher potential for catastrophic destruction.
Hydropower has proven higher potential for catastrophic destruction. In 1975 more than 200,000 people died in China from the failure of the Banqiao dam.
It's weird how we set ourselves on fire over NP risk when no method of energy production available is safer. If you think that NP is higher risk than the alternatives then you haven't actually looked into it.
@@odril Just Banqiao totally dwarfs about ALL nuclear accidents ever. Even considering the worst possible scenarios about Windscale, Chernobyl or Fukushima.
And then you look at other Hydro Dam collapses and whoops, that's a lot of deaths.. Plus workers that die in accidents when building the things. Just building one dam in Portugal like 3 workers died. Of course probably there are some deaths building NPPs but then they generate soo much power that it dilutes out.
Even wind and solar kill more people overall than nuclear energy, per TWh produced. Considering mining accidents, and stuff like people falling off rooftops installing solar panels, falling off the things during maintenance, or a blade falling off a crane or from the nacelles and hitting workers.z
