It’s so odd to see all those old analog controls and gauges. 50 year old technology. You’d think by now they’d have all the curves and rates programmed in so they could just type 1000000 and the computer could ramp things up in an efficient and perfectly controlled manner. Of course you would want to debug that system really well, and keep the analog stuff as a backup override!
I would expect they do, which is how it was maintaining itself at 500 kW at the start. She even called it "auto" mode. But I expect the idea here is to train operators HOW to do it manually. Somewhat like learning to add before using a calculator, so that you understand the basics behind it.

I'd love a sim game where one can do things with a nuclear reactor. Like power manipulations, creating medical isotopes, replacing fuel, ...
The reactor practice was awesome
Much respect for Frank Warmsley. Seems like a great guy.
I was so happy when I heard about the Desmos free graphing utility, too. I should use it more.
I have no idea what he said but it's interesting
It's funny how much off all were in approximating size in cm.
I freaking love the burnt bananas
11:30 lol this professor is hilarious
Excellent
He looks like Sheldon Copers normal brother.
lol
Shocked nobody asked how radioactive the irradiated samples are, just after they return from the reactor core (generally speaking, CPM).

Purdue's reactor is fully digital.

1:08 Does anyone think that the "bassomatic" was on the test?
I broke my feet with one of those mf lead bricks....
good now you can be a professor at MIT!
He explains in detail arithmetic but quickly sweeps past important things.
One banana, two bananas, three bananas, four.
its fascinating to me how bored everybody looks at 55 minutes :')
They mentioned in another video that it's a morning class. Standing up may take effort.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Im all about making mistakes ..?????
Ummmmm
Making mistakes is how you learn.
@Ergzay True , Chernobyl, and 3 mile island was a wealth of knowledge. :)
Cute MIT girls.
😂❤😊
