Sorry to disappoint you but I’ve worked for a cable manufacturing company and it’s fairly basic technology. A ten minute video would cover most of it. But maybe I’m just cynical.
@@Enhancedlies There are currently no definitive answers to who blew it up. Only accusations and potential motives. so going around saying there is a definitive answer is straight up propaganda.
We've known what to do with nuclear "waste" for decades Fast reactors can utilize the spent nuclear fuel of thermal reactors, in doing so it reduces the amount of time the waste needs to be stored from hundreds of thousands of years to hundreds of years. There's enough energy content in the SNF of the world to meet all of our energy needs for 50+ years
Its how compilations worked, although you and many other ppl out there may think (probably?) they should never have been made (like Do not make compilations for personal gain ....)
Internet social spaces are mostly useless and has been for a long time. Astroturfing and bot comments everywhere. Trust nothing you read. I could be a bot too, don't even listen to me
Nuclear waste is recyclable, we can continue to harness the nuclear energy within it and create power. This also decreases is “shelf life” from thousands of years to hundreds maybe even less. Some places do it, but not many, problem is we don’t have those facilities built yet to do it.
Nice bit of fun on Dawson Creek. Just to be clear, the name of the town is Dawson Creek while the TV series is Dawson's Creek. And there is no relation between the two. I actually spent a month as a young engineer there working a several engineering projects: gas plant in Tumbler Ridge, cogeneration plant in Fort St. John. Beautiful area locally referred to as Peace Country or 'The Peace" as it's part of the Peace River valley.
@4:58 hmmmm, actually the Philippines does have a nuclear power plant, but it hasn't been activated yet due to safety concerns among local communities. However, the Philippines and the US recently signed an agreement to develop civil nuclear energy in the country, which could lead to the eventual activation of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant.
I love that the solution to nuclear waste, to bury it in bentonite, is our same solution we have for our indoor cats waste. No joke. Cheap cat litter is almost 100% bentonite.
Quick question about the fusion; So, how do you communicate the thermal energy generated by the °150,000,000 plasma reaction to enough water to make the process efficient & diffuse that energy pulse among the water so that you don't have an instant stream explosion from all the water in the system flash boiling?
The russian reactor is not WWER but VVER - not "water" but "voda". Btw, what about Jaslovské Bohunice, plant A1? It was really intresting power plant...
45 languages... they can't just narrow that down to under double digits just to make communication a little easier? It's not like it's a super technical piece of equipment or anything. Pretty sure God didn't even use 45 different tongues to bust up that Babel Tower project way back when.
China leads in modern nuclear including SMRs. As a percentage of total power, France still leads and may be overtaken by Finland, but that one reactor can accomplish that says something about the size of the market.
Misleading to say that spent nuclear fuel is vulnerable to a disaster like that at Fukushima. An earthquake and tsunami would not lead to that kind of disaster, or likely any disaster at all.
Interesting video but one should add that Finland has been suffering from Sweden closing 6 of its 12 rectors driven by the Swedish Green party over the last 20 years driving up the carbon footprint 25 folds in Sweden per MW produced..
@@SKgaming-qy6gn 726 square kilometres of land used for a nameplate capacity of only 30GW. Globally, solar has a capacity factor of less than 30%, which is just appalling. This is wasting vast amounts of land and money. 30GW of energy generation could be done from any number of reliable sources on a much smaller area of land, with a much higher capacity factor.
@@cerealport2726 Just as a comparison. Bruce Power in Ontario is 6.5 GW capacity and is 2200 acres and can run 24/7. So in 45 sq km they could produce the same amount of power with a capacity factor around 90%.
Until nuclear fusion is made viable natural gas and nuclear fision will be a must. Renewables alone simply can not generate the electric load needed for current demand.
Fusion energy .... How energy is collected ???? ...from, 150000000degrC to what ??? :) This is interesting. Everything else we heard 150M times on RUclips before :) Regards. Interesting video :)
Please talk about Norways idiotic (for its own people) intent to sell renewable energy to mainland Europe. Norwegian citizens getting shafted with crazy kwh prices, when we are self sustained!
Why does a 'new' compilation video not have on screen text , explaining out of date information , in each of the many instances ? Also would appreciate a link to any video you may have on non-hydro power storage mega projects ,[like molten salt or massive hydrogen tanks or mega conventional batteries] , if none exist consider this a suggestion (would be very useful to counter all the naysayers on renewable being unsuitable for base load , that we STILL encounter way too often !)
Shouldnt another reason to not use it bejng that u-235 is a rarer form of uranium? Itll become rarer the more we use it and dont find another way. Its just steam power at the end of the day
Nuclear fuel is only 3-5% U235, and it's not like you just go looking around in the ground for it. Uranium ore is what's mined, and it's pretty plentiful. Enrichment is what concentrates the useful isatopes. Compared to other low carbon energy sources (especially wind and solar,) nuclear requires less mining of rare materials.
If "Ready Kilowatt" and his friends have their way, there will be no need for all that much natural gas going forward. Even I have resisted the heat pump water heater, but am considering a heat pump furnace. I don't know where Europe is in this transition. And if you need a lot of heat, you still need fuel.
Rising prices in Europe aren’t caused by “a shortage of renewable power”… Rising prices are literally caused BY the “transition” to solar and wind, which are a complete waste of money, time, and rare earth minerals.
We have solved how to deal with nuclear waste, recycling would be the best like in france and japan. You get to extract energy out of the waste and it also lowers the actually waste to like hundreds of years not instead of tens of thousands.
With the risk out waying the gains. Other than greed that has no regard for life on The Earth. Why would we still build one of these atrocities that creates a bio hazard that lasts hundreds of liftimes.
That's the glory of fusion if the componentsbfail the elements used aren't that volatile in whivhbthey blow up and the conditions are so specific that if the plant malfunctions the process stops immediately and thus I reiterate that things one of the many reasons why ppl seek fusion it's very safe.
In hindsight, I bet Europe is not happy about the Nord Stream 2 investment now…
Did I do a time jump or did the B1M just forget to mention NS2 exploded?
The video was published in 2021, before that.

Well they certainly don't need to worry about it anymore, they have other means of energy production!

Love the longform video. Energy is a fascinating topic. Great doco
Did they give up on travelling wave reactors to use up spent nuclear fuel?
Even on paper it sounded nice i wonder if they simply couldn't get it out of the lab due to Physics, Engineering and Cost.
coal is not the worst, its the easier to implement. if you clean the stack gas and do some feedstock prep its just as clean as NG

Misleading to say that spent nuclear fuel is vulnerable to a disaster like that at Fukushima. An earthquake and tsunami would not lead to that kind of disaster, or likely any disaster at all.
If only they finished their research to re-enrich and reuse old fuel

NS2?!?!?
Nobody can guarantee that the buried nuclear waste will stay in situ and not disperse within the environment as a function of time.

except when it's cloudy, or night time... Solar has a place, but many projects have already demonstrated its fundamental limitations
