Why The Largest Nuclear Power Plant Was Shut Down
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2021
- For over a decade the world’s largest nuclear power plant has lain eerily dormant. A chain of mishaps, both natural and man-made, have delayed it’s reopening. Yet many locals are clamouring for its return. So why did Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in Japan close in the first place? What’s keeping it shut? And could a previously undetected fault line under the sea condemn it to being abandoned forever?

Yooo ur videos are amazing i am watching you from 5 months and ur videos are just crazyy
I feel y'all are expanding the scope of what tech you guys cover, which I absolutely love, keep it up!
If only they had this good backup systems for McDonalds ice cream machines…
🤣🤣
A nuclear powerplant is only worth the risk if: you dont have frequent natural disaster, your staff is competent and last but most important you dont dischard any safety measures in favor of money in any way shape or form. and japan maybe fits only the employee criteria.
Really? And how many people EXACTLY died from Fukushima radiation?
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk none
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk the radiation released from Fukushima wasn't even enough to do permanent damage to a human
@@alexandrosandreou8585 Right. The highest dose anyone on the planet received was 670mSv, nowhere near the amount that could have killed anyone.
@@alexandrosandreou8585
Wasn't it 1 person who died?
Nice video.
Thats a shame, so much possible good undone...
Underrated . What else can I say?
I thought emergency generator at Fukushima was supposed to be built on top of a tower according to initial design doc
which they did not follow and well...
The diesel generators made no difference. The cooling pumps were trash from the wave and switchgear room flooded.
Music not loud enough ?
Everybody research Thorium Energy. You will not be disappointed.
Let’s talk about their plan to release radioactive water from Fukushima into the pacific ocean.
Nuclear in a earthquake nation is a challenge - of course, better than oil or gas, which are bad for the enviroment, and Japan has neither. Worth noting how wind and solar have been failing to make up coal, oil and gases shortfall, while nuke never fell short.
1:19 WTF 🤣🤣🤣
That's right, shut down all nuclear power plants based on unfounded fears while at the same time phasing out fossil fuels. Then watch how quickly chaos ensues when there are massive price increases with permanent rolling blackouts.
Yes
Please read the book - Critical Path by Buckminster Fuller, where he clearly told that we should not use Nuclear power. Instead we all should focus on improving solar and hydro power enhancements which will last for generations after generations. Even if we could convert as much the sun power, will have more than what is needed.
Actually, the energy production should go toward nuclear more and more, due to very high efficiency, consistency, energy generation per square kilometer and having 0 carbon emission. The solar plants creates 300 times more toxic wastes than nuclear plants.
Critical Path was written in 1981. The world has changed and the worlds energy consumption has increased a lot since then.
hydro and solar? bahahaha what a moron
@@gildedphoenix agreed. People are brain washed nowadays to think that renewables can replace nuclear, oil and coal power plants... The same thing is happaning to theelectric cars idea... they are more expemnsive to produce and have a much bigger environmental footprint than normal combustion cars.
@@carlosfaria7390 about electric cars, they indeed take 3 times more carbon print to make one than a combustion one but in 7 years of use (which is a lot though) can make the same print with the combustion one when we include the energy for recharge the electric car.
Yeah earthquake plus big nuke equals bad
Lmao the crypto scammers deleted their comment because I called them out before they could add to the comment chain
What a sad waste of money. How many solar panels and batteries could that money have funded without all that risk?
The amount of solar panels with the same money would not have produced near as much electricity... our solar panels aren’t efficient enough to even come close, now batteries would have been worth the investment
@@adampaseur1190 The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said solar is now the cheapest energy in history. And the price is still falling rapidly. It's far cheaper than nuclear.
Have you seen the work of Tony Sepa? Nuclear power plants are about to become stranded assets if they're not already. They won't be able to sell their electricity to market because solar energy is so much cheaper and a lot less expensive to maintain.
@@brianrcVids Solar power kills more than nuclear power.
@@brianrcVids To build just the solar facility yes, assuming you can find the land area for it, but not if the needed grid storage is accounted for. To get an equivalent plant to say a 3500MW nuclear facility in solar, the solar facility alone would be much cheaper but only energy for about a 5th the number of homes total averaged throughout the year. With the needed energy storage to make it dispathable, it would instead cost 10 times as much using the cheapest available grid energy storage (which is unavailable at that scale) while still only providing for a 5th the number of homes. To provide the equivalent energy you would need a solar facility of 5 times the capacity (which would be about 50% the cost to build as the nuclear facilty) but still isn't dispatchable. All that to say that solar being cheaper than nuclear is just not accurate.
Why not just build Dams they live on an island?
Hi
I feel like jobs are good but we are taking about a nuclear fallout on the line.
turn down your gain on the background music, then you got it.
Coal, oil, wood etc or Nuclear? Which is the cleanest. All with outside inspectors being lied to, employees manipulating anything they can get their hands on lying to all that you're not buying a $1,000 car that's a complete pile of junk but the most refine automobile the world could manufacture any form of power being generated on such a large scale could be deadly if not maintained properly. It's not the source of power that ultimately dangerous It's the people hired to run & maintain that source of power that are the ultimate problem. Humans are animals...they are also the deadliest animal on planet earth. We cannot hide from ourselves no matter how hard we wish we could or try.
money sucks
omg this is bad
Making new nuclear power plants is fucking stupid they should invest that money in literally anything else.
You're ignorant.
why?
I hope they can bring them back on line. Nuclear is out best option to combat climate change
a
Completely mad having nuclear power in Japan earthquake prone. Oh well, the mad's gone world.

I'm.. 50 a.n.d m.y. husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no dept's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.
I'm a young dad, I'm really glad to hear your story it inspires me.
What is fire movement please.?
@@andrewpaul311 Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
@@harleylewiston8255 Thanks for replying I will read more about fire movement.
@@harleylewiston8255 Your story is inspiring I'm 38 trying to achieve this goal you achieved.share some tips please so others can actually learn.
You haven't still share any idea on how you earn weekly.
Keep it shut down. What a joke to take countermeasures for countermeasures, the cost is so enormous and the risk so high no one will be building another one of these.
why is the risk high? take a look at how many power plants NOT powered by nuclear fuel have created problems, nuclear power plants only did it TWICE since their invention
@@bobi_lopataru That is not much of an argument, not to be mean but that is a fallacy. How can you say only two have done it? There are lists yards long replete with NP's failures and accidents. The risk is so great, and the benefit so mundane that it will always be a hell of a way to boil water.
@@widescreennavel It is a great arguement especially when you consider all lives lost from all those issues is less then the annual death toll from one coal plant the calculus is clear.
@@pedersgm Have you ever visited a uranium mine? Like heavy metal mining but worse lol
The progress in solar and wind eclipses NP now, no one wants to build 6 foot thick reinforced concrete walls within walls to keep the thing semi-contained.
If the Japanese couldn't keep their plants working properly in an emergency, then I have no confidence that US public-owned utilities, whose Job No. 1: Make money, and Job No. 2 is: Make that Make More Money in charge, corners will always be cut.
Neuclear power's not worth any risk, it's where limits should be set; pro life.
actually nuclear power is remarkably safe and even the worst of the radioactive waste can be recycled back into reactors to provide more power with modern day tech. the only reason reactors have failed is because of either decades of mismanagement and under funding or poor placement of the reactor sites
It's far better than most alternatives (fossil fuels, gas, etc). The issue is when it's miss handled or proper precautions aren't put in place. Fukushima plant even during its disaster didn't result in direct loss of human lives while just through burning fossil fuels, there's an annual death rate of around 100-200 people (iirc) every year.
@@coreytaylor447 "worst of radioactive waste", which is hardly recycled, as it does cost, lot more than not recycling at all.
@@bruhder5854 can't really say; it's better than alternatives, as it's immediately dangerous, & very dangerous. A line needs to be drawn here.
@@fletcherrebello it's potentially more difficult but both short term and long term better for people and the environment. But I do agree it's extremely dangerous to both environment and lives if anomalies occur.
Jesus controls the weather, the wind, rain, sun, cold, warmth, and the seasons. Every aspect of weather is controlled by God and God alone❗ Praise God thank you Jesus for being You and all You do for everyone and bringing about the change we all need, want and believe You for. In Jesus name
Sometimes God uses weather as consequences for sin. Like a nation having drought causes difficulty and He does it for that reason, consequences. So repent, and pray and seek His face, believe in Him..ask him for anything in His name and He will do it. Everyone's has sinned and there are consequences for those actions. God uses curses and you need to be forgiven and Him being a Holy merciful God having sent Jesus for everyone will forgive you and come be taught by Him in Jesus name 🙏
Now you know why people avoid you.
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk despite what you think Jesus died for you to be free forgiven and saved. Believe in Him as the son of God who died and rose three days later and be saved. Ask Him anything in His name and He will do it. He loves you and wants more for you of your life. There's so much more, much better than the world offers. God bless 🙏
@@SherriP I asked him for you to go away, and it didn't happen, did it?
@@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk no it didn't happen but good faith. According to His will I am telling you about Him as He stated in the word so that is one prayer He will not answer for you. Though you can ask anything in Jesus name it does have to line up with His will exactly. I'm preaching the word so I'm doing His will even if others don't agree yet.
👎 let the great big world keep shining .. scary times
Thank god the Uk is so far away.
