What If You Fell Into a Spent Nuclear Fuel Pool?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Spent nuclear fuel pools are designed to cool fuel rods after they come out of a nuclear reactor. While powering a nuclear reactor, these fuel rods become very, very hot (2,800 degrees Celsius / 5,092 degrees Fahrenheit). After they've spent 3 to 6 years inside of a nuclear reactor, fuel rods are no longer efficient. Problem is, they still emit plenty of harmful radiation, and they will for the next 10,000 years. Even though it’s trash, there’s not a garbage dump in the world that will accept it. So, why is water a good place to put these things and what would happen if you fall into one of those spent fuel pools?

@@fakeerik4931 " you can't have seen graphite cause it's not there!"
Actualy its not the control rods that jumps but the caps that cover the reactor, also we don't use RBMK anymore
Actually falling into one of these pool is quite lethal. For most people, it's the sudden overdose of lead into the body by the nearby guards.
LOL
@Stewart Fleming That's a low bar, my tap water tastes like flinstones vitamins
I feel sorry for those people. They spend all day behind the bench or various locations around the plant doing absolutely nothing but watching you badge into the door while they sit there hour after hour.
I worked at Oyster Creek NJ for a shutdown in 06.Its basically a armed camp (After 9/11 they took guarding nuclear plants seriously).They have pill boxes surrounding the turbine generator for gun battles.Really freaks you out when you see guards armed to the teeth (Grenade/Flash bangs etc) walking around.
That would actually be a good Monty Python skit, like the government broadcast from the Home Office on "how to avoid being seen."
"Clearly, he couldn't avoid being shot." 😆
I work at a nuclear plant, and in short, here's what will happen:
Water serves as a neutron reflector and the hydrgoen absorbs radiation and shields you from it, so virutally nothing would happen to you if you were to swim in it.
Touching a fuel rod:
Fresh fuel rods are safe and you can hold it in your hand. In fact, we handle fresh fuel rods by hand and use only gloves, although nothing would happen if we didn't. Safety first, though.
Spent fuel rods, on the other hand, are extremely radioactive, so if you want to touch it, you will fail because you'll be a goner by then.
Now, one thing interesting is, since water is such a strong shield, you could swim in a spent fuel pool up to some extent. 3-4 meters is very safe. Half a metre deeper, you have a couple hours to live. Another half a metre, you have minutes.
How much do you make per hour ?
@@d3arb0rns probably between 55 and 65
@@d3arb0rns About 3.6 rontgen, not great, not terrible.
Now if you grabbed a spent fuel rod and pretended it was a light saber... if you could do that than you aren't human.

"even though its trash, there's no garbage dump in the world that will accept it."
best description of me.
r/suicidebywords
So seagulls from that dump wouldn't turn green and will not emit light in night? Boring.
Maybe we could sell the spent fuel rod packs to the Chinese as portable heaters.
@@videomaniac108 I would not like this idea. Chinese is not so stupid. They will find use for these rods against their enemies, believe me.
The second I read that
Fun fact: just under the surface, you would receive LESS radiation than you would outside the pool. Because the water would block the natural background radiation. As long as you stay at least 5 meters away from the fuel rods, the water and the inverse square law will completely protect you.
Thanks for mentioning inverse square law :D
Huh?
omg pls enlighten us about that
Wow 😅
false buddy: you receive a dose which around ponds (non-loitering) signs are displayed as you are intaking well above background levels, if you were to jump into a pond you would likely intake a dose that would give minor radiation sickness and greatly increase the risk of cancer etc... drink one gulp of that water in and you have recieved and internal dose of radiation which with a half life of over a thousand years is likely to kill you within weeks. Side note: All of your theories are based upon realistic equations such as the inverse square law but don't take into account how real scenarios work. Have a look at nuclear plant video of a spent nuclear fuel rod pond and it will describe better
The author of XKCD asked his friend, who worked at a research nuclear reactor, what would happen if you tried to swim in their spent rod cooling pool for his book "What If?". The friend answered, saying "In our reactor? You'd die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds." For sure backs up the real question of what are you doing near a spent fuel rod pool, and how did you even get there.

@@theairisamagician830 indeed.
While he's probably right, I actually work in a nuclear power plant. There's a lot of contradicting info, even amongst people I work with.
OMG thank you I was just about to jump into a spent nuclear fuel rod pool you saved me.
No problem. Just stay on the surface and no pencil bombs and you'll be fine.
Lol
?
I know right?
Did you not watch the video. You would be fine if you fell in. I still would not recommend though.
Me:
RUclips: what if you fell in a nuclear fuel pool?
Me: yeah I might need to know this
I know . RUclips recommended a video named " living on Mars " as if I will ever get their in my lifetime 🤪🤬😑🤣🤣
I literaly thought this question in my head after seeing a show that talked about nuclear reactors and i got this recomendation
*recommendation
You never know haha
😂
Forgot to mention that water in the spent fuel pool is borated (contains boron). Boron is very efficient at absorbing neutrons. Borated water is also used when shutting down a nuclear reactor (after dropping the rods) or when reducing its power level. The spent fuel pool is not just simply "water".
It's amazing how the thing we need to survive also protects us from the most dangerous thing we create
we didn’t create uranium lol
We don't "create" lol. Just using what's on earth and combining/developing/mixing them and trying different things together.
So basically you're telling me that pool is more safe than your typical public pool?!?
That sounds about right
Yeah lol. But don't go too deep.
You nukies basically are expert at lying, minimizing the risk of nuclear and destroy all living things on earth. How do you look in the mirror in the morning?
@@jackfanning7952 you clearly dont understand how nuclear plant works. And i wont bother explaining it to someone as ignorant as you.
@@jackfanning7952 Lmao you must be from the sixties. Nuclear isn’t going to suddenly mutate everything in sight because that’s fundamentally not how any of anything works.
@@questionablelifechoices7501 Keep laughing, idiot. When I was born is irrelevant. What I did is. I worked as an industrial hygienist, familiar with toxic substances and their effect on living tissue, including mitosis and meiosis. Ionizing radioactive atoms disintegrate, releasing subatomic particles that damage the DNA of living cells they come into contact with. The damaged cells can lie dormant for 10-40 years before they start to divide uncontrollably to form new cell clusters in a cancerous tumor. That is how that works, mouth breather.
I work in a nuclear power plant, and you actually wear a life vest in case you were to fall in. If you stay towards the surface you would be fine.
Curious, what do you do at the plant?
*cough cough* Chernobyl *cough cough*
I wanna drink it.
Mahay Aized yep you’re too hilarious
I haven't been in nuclear pool but i visited nuclear reactor. I could see the top of the reactor from a distance. It was working at full power and didn't make a single noise. ☢☢☢
I work in nuclear reactors moving fuel assemblies in and out of spent fuel pool. Guys have fallen in and they just have to shower a few times and get their dosage tested.. the only big deal is filling out all the paperwork and then being ridiculed for years after lol.People think its unsafe but its actually a very safe job and by far the cleanest/most efficient form of energy production on the planet
I've been swimming in this pool at the local nuclear plant for years now. I even invented a new swimming stroke, I call it "the flapper". It's a stroke using all 4 arms in sync.
What if it rains at same time all over the earth ?
Arun Mohan woah, could you imagine the view from space? Our entire planet covered in clouds.
Thats already happened once for about 2 million years long
Good one
That's happened before
@@rubenmanssens seriously dude ??
I've been on this earth for 44 years, and I've always wondered what would happen if I fell into a nuclear fuel pool. After all these years, I'm highly disappointed.
How about a nuclear reaction pool, that would be a bit more exciting
@@Teh_Random_Canadian not really, the experiment reactors would still be safe if the height of water between you and the fuel is 5m. Energy-production reactors on the other hand are deadly, not only due to the radiation because you will be pressed against the rods, but because you will be sucked into the turbine for producing the electricity, also you would have to fall into it when the fuel is changed because they are otherwise sealed. Also for nuclear fusion reactors, the first one in a size where you would fit into is ITER which will be finished in 2025, entering the reaction chamber would spell cruel death as in there will be a vacuum and the low low temperatur of 180.000.000°C.
@@takayamuramoto4490 Oh, interesting, thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know! :)
This video is bs, fuel doesn't only mits gamma rays, it emits beta and alpha. These are particules beta is a free electron that emits radiation and Alpha is a ophaned helium that will absolutly obliterate your organes if ingested in the water
It all depends on the facility, I can think of a few that if you fell in you'd be dead in a month or so! This video reflects modern spent Fuel Ponds and not Legacy Facilities which are far more hazardous and radiologicallly challenging.
Cool video though.
I worked at a nuclear power plant and one of the techs fell in the fuel pool. He swam to the side and climbed out. All he said is the water was warmer than he thought it would be. No super powers, no radiation poisoning, and no long term effects.
I've been told it's the equivalent of chest x-ray!

I was confused about whether to choose a public pool or a spent nuclear pool for swimming. Thanks, now it seems that the spent nuclear pool is the better and healthier option
Well actually the public pool is much safer. I tried to swim in a spent nuclear pool and the guards shot me to death. Would not recommend
@@theairisamagician830 😂😂

Most of these "What If's" just result in death.
I swear I see you everywhere
Damn you and the moustache guy
This one didn’t tho
They also tend to attract the "I don't really DO videos but I have a strong opinion on the title" crowd apparently...
It's true. But that makes this one kind of refreshing.
Storing this information in my brain right next to what to do if a grenade lands at my feet or what to do if I step into quicksand.
The biggest issue for the divers that we use in the pools is heat exhaustion. The pools run at about body temperature so you quickly overheat in a drysuit.
Public swimming pools are normally 28-32c. 30c water is perfectly fine to sit in (if you're just wearing a normal swim trunk). Don't wear a dry suit lol
Just pray and hope you come out alive with super powers.

Reminds me of the diver that was sucked into a nuclear power plant while diving in the ocean. He was pulled in by giant fans, into a pipe, and spit out into a nuclear fuel pool. He received no radiation from the incident. Interesting stuff.

Wait so you're telling me I could swim in a pool full of spent nuclear fuel rods and pe perfectly fine? I know what my plan for the weekend is
You'd probably be the only one in the pool...which really isn't a bad thing.

I worked at a facility and on the weekend we used swim in the reactor water, nice family fun for all.
Bright green water? The water in a spent fuel pool is ultra pure, to prevent dissolved minerals in the water from becoming neutron activated, and to prevent chemical reactions due to the heated fuel rod cladding.
PointyTailofSatan also, Cherenkov radiation is blue
lol swimming in something that has old star blood in it would contaminate the pool with filthy human foulness. I would be far more concerned about other t hings than a person swimming in it, more like holy shit does that mean anyone can access the pool?

@@abhinavdp7376 no I’m absolutely terrible
This video is not 100% scientifically accurate. Water does not completely block electromagnetic radiation, but rather attenuates it, which is slightly different. Alpha radiation travels mere microns before being absorbed while beta radiation travels a few centimetres before being rendered mostly harmless due to the decrease in energy of the high-speed electrons. For gamma radiation, however, the energy is halved per 15 cm (6 in) of water but is never blocked fully and thus being attenuated (reduced). There will be a reduction factor of 100 for 30 in (76.2 cm) of water and 10,000 for 60 in (152.4 cm). Like aforementioned, these numbers depend heavily on the energy of the gamma waves.
This is based on ionising radiation, however, and ignores other particles such as neutrinos and so on, though these interact with matter very little and so are not relevant in this context.
Additionally, due to Cherenkov radiation, the pool should emit blue light, not green, as this is a common misconception.

Well so, coming out after a swim with a third arm is just an delirium of mine
You know the fuel rods that just came out of the reactor during the last refuel outage, they are the ones with brightest blue glowing Cherenkov radiation. the oldest are fairly dim by comparison having been there for much longer. The spent fuel pool is usually outside of containment which houses the reactor.
The minute I hear that breed of voiceover, I know to run back to PBS for my science vids.
Well, you would not get me paddling in it lol.
I read in a book called "what if?" (yes I see the irony) and it talked about this exact situation. and it mentioned a guy who needed to find an old unknown object and it was one of those spent fuel rods that broke, and he grabbed it and he had to have his hand cut off due to the radiation.
This video could have been 2 seconds long: “nothing”
Gotta get revenue
Yes, however explaining it to the public helps dispel fear. Most people don’t understand nuclear power; thus ignorance and fear. If you’ve studied nuclear physics and energy production, the takeaway is basically “keep it cool”. All the rest is standard safety protocols with a little bit of radioactive material handling. Nuclear power is well understood, and we should be using it as much as we can.
@@kensurrency2564 how much you willing to bet that the big oil mongers are paying media to paint a bad picture of nuclear power
@@bladedninja8853 everything I have. When big money interests are involved, that’s a safe bet.
@@kensurrency2564 Well put. Most people have the awful habit of believing everything they hear or see from the media (whether it be news, movies, documentaries) without doing any kind of research on their own. In fact, I shunned nuclear energy until I took some time to learn about it. Now I shun the dishonest anti-nuclear groups which exaggerate (if not outright lie) about the dangers of nuclear energy. Personal horror stories from Chernobyl or Fukushima do not take precedence over peer-reviewed statistical data. And the data states that nuclear energy has resulted in much fewer deaths than any form of fossil fuel and even some renewables.
Falling into a deep pool and a nuclear plant sounds absolutely terrifying
Was thinking after a dip in the water you would start looking like that dude in RoboCop who smashed into the toxic waste lol
So glad I know this safety tip because there are fuel pools every 10 ft in my neighborhood. One never knows -
you mean my I pad is giving me Radiation right now?
no shit
You could consider every bit of visible light to be radiation. If someone uses the word "radiation" without much thought, then it looses any meaning.
not all radiation is the harmful ionizing radiation
It's not the same radiation from the nuclear power plant. It's not harmful like that

Thanks I had a friend who fell into a nuclear fuel pool. I watched this video and gave him tips to survivr
dang bro i was thinking about falling into a nuclear fuel pool of rods thanks man
Nothing happens. Save your 4 minutes. I wish I did.
I got 58 seconds in
Thanks
Thanks but i watched it anyway also stuff would happen this man says you would get exposed to less radiation then in radiation in that pool then you would experience in your everyday life but thats not true
Or just not be an unappreciative bastard and just watch the video. That works as well.
Ahhhhhh the millenial who can't even spend 4 minutes of life for a back story. Shits gonna get real the older you get mate.

I think this is the one video where if something happens to you you actually don't die 😂
How the water protects the human body from radiation even if a person fell into the pool is insanely cool! I was expecting a lot of negative effects. Boy was I wrong!
Because water is fairly dense. Have enough matter in the way, it'll stop radiation.
Alpha radiation takes a piece of paper to stop it. Beta takes some thick foil. Gamma radiation takes about 1-2m of concrete. The water pools have plenty of excesses :)
@@supernoodles908 Beta can be completely stopped by household aluminum foil, or even a piece of cardboard. Gamma is the tricky one.
The water is also borated (contains boron at a specific ppm). Boron is very efficient at absorbing neutrons.
You’re not wrong all of this is BS. Does it sound sane to you? Jumping in water that has NUCLEAR RODS in it. Really? You fell for this?
First time going into a nuclear power plant, you trip into a pool: "dang it"
"You could swim in this pool until you looked like a raisin without feeling any negative effects" I know where I'm taking my next dip
