Nuclear reactor startup (with sound)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2023
- A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a fission nuclear chain reaction or nuclear fusion reactions. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in nuclear marine propulsion. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which in turn runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators' shafts. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. Some reactors are used to produce isotopes for medical and industrial use, or for production of weapons-grade plutonium. As of early 2019, the lAEA reports there are 454 nuclear power reactors and 226 nuclear research reactors in operation around the world.

Something to note is that the reactor here is the TRIGA reactor (short for Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) is only a research reactor. Actual commercial reactors are more confined and are much more powerful than the one shown here. This reactor does not make electricity at all.
Thankyou I came here to ask this. I imagine commercial ones don’t leak radiation out of the core in? Why do these ones? How much shielding would you need?
@@Freshbott2 These reactors don't give off as much radiation as the usual commercial reactor (for instance a PWR or BWR), so water is a sufficient radiation shield. As for the amount of radiation shielding in commercial reactors, there is a lot of shielding involving lead and other extremely dense materials. If you see a PWR/BWR refueling hall, you'll see that the reactor is smack dab in the middle where radiation will not leak as much. And to answer why they need these, a lot of times they are useful for research in general and learning more about how elements n' whatnot come together and mix.
Электричество производит генератор. Реактор производит тепло.
Electricity is produced by a generator. The reactor produces heat.
@@vvdvlas8397 You are correct on that, but the process is more complicated than that. Commercial reactors produces said heat, which then heats water (depending on what type of reactor, for instance a BWR has one loop while a PWR has 2 loops). This water turns into steam, the steam turns the turbines, which in turn spin the generator's magneto and sends the electricity from the magneto into the grid. A BWR does this directly, while a PWR heats up water, the water in loop 1 gets pressurized, the second loop is heated by the first loop which turns the second loop into steam, which turns the turbines, which also turn a generator magneto. The explanation I am giving is more of a pop science explanation, but the reactor operations is mostly the same. There are many other reactors that do this in other ways, but in the end, its simply a fancy (and safe) way of boiling water.
"Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water" - Albert Einstein
@@Freshbott2 These are just a few megawatts reactors for scientific and medical purposes, comercial ones can reach as high as 1600 megawatts, so to keep them relatively small they need to have way stronger radiation shielding.
This feels like it's straight out of a science fiction film! I truly love what humanity's brightest minds can accomplish by joining efforts.

Underrated comment💀
Fun fact: That blue glow, or Cherenkov radiation, happens when charged particles get shot out of the reaction and through the water keeping the reactor cool faster than the light around them.
Basically, light travels a bit slower through water, so the reaction shooting electrons off at light speed is obviously gonna leave a bit of a wave behind. That energy has to go somewhere, so the water particles get "excited" and emit photons.
What you're seeing is a sonic boom, except the light barrier is being broken.
Imagine something breaks the light barrier in a vacuum
Then the core arent blue, blue is the reflection of the light in the water 😂
photonic boom? phonic boom?
@@geezlouise420 Photonic. Phonic would probably be to do with phonons, which are particles used to describe vibrations in materials on the quantum scale. Phonons aren't actually real particles, but they are helpful mathematical objects that can still be used to explain real physics phenomena, so we keep using them anyway.
Terribly explained
That glow is magical - no wonder movies depict it like that all the time. I wish I could visit a research reactor myself at some point, I'd love to see that.
Magical? That's the grim reaper. Death itself.
@@tonysudano778 Only if you get too close. If you understand it, and can protect yourself against it, it's not dangerous. If you're scared of radiation, boy is this universe ever a shit place to live in - it's everywhere.
@@dadjake not like Chernobyl though....
I got to see the Breazeale research reactor startup at Penn State on a field trip in 1992. You stand just above the pool of water during starting. The water is about 20 feet deep to the core. It's pretty cool to witness. After it is running, bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen from broken up water molecules bubble up through the water. One of my classmates wore a Roentgen meter that measured millirems, which got checked at the end to make sure we didn't get a high exposure. There is also a tube that extends from the core to the side of the chamber, where samples can be exposed to radiation for materials and fluid testing. It also was used to charge radiation sources for the neutron howitzer we used in the lab to do particle counts.
The boron moderator rods had an electromagnetic coupling connected to the crane. In the even of a power failure, the electromagnet would drop the rods into the grid, and shut down the reaction. I think Penn State has tours of the reactor sometimes. It would be worth looking into.
@@ArnoldsDesignI toured that reactor as well during parents weekend it is definitely something to see.
In the early seventies I assembled and welded the handling tool that raises and lowers the control rods. Myself and my fitter fabricated them on an amazing table about 100 ft long and flat within a few thousands of an inch. Once it was all assembled we hoisted it up vertically to test it it was a fun job and as a young machinist and welder I learned a lot.
How do you make a table that large that flat?!
@@spruceg00se
That I do not know. The shop's name was Nuclear Components, and they made experimental reactors for destructive testing.
The table you are asking about was on the shop floor. The truly amazing table was in the quality control room. Two foot thick solid granite accurate to 1/1oth of 1/000.
It was a shop with the reputation of doing projects that no one else could do. They did contract work for Westinghouse and DoD.
@@spruceg00se Maybe they milled it to be this flat
Im a navy seals sniper
@@spruceg00se Once you've experienced true level there's no going back
That blue glow is so satisfying
The commenter below is correct - these are TRIGA reactors. The flash comes from the prompt supercriticality produced from ejecting the center control rod out of the core pneumatically, which also makes the pop sound . The reactor would be taken just critical using the manual control rods and then the center rod would get shot out. As the temperature rose - the zirconium Hydride lattice in the fuel rods would poison the reaction by inhibiting the thermalization of the neutrons and the reactor would come back down to subcritical in less than a second. At the reactor where I worked, during some experiments, we would inject enough reactivity to make the building shake. Even with 20ft of water covering the core - a big pulse would set off the klaxon (it was set to trigger at 5 Rad)
That's wild
Ok, I'm giving up, I'm too stupid to understand wtf you wrote here.
That's incredibly irresponsible to flood radioactivity into the work place. It's also stupid to shake a building during tests - it weakens structures.
No wonder there are so many nuclear incidents - definitely not accidents if that's the attitude of 'scientists' operating reactors..
@@_Obey_don’t worry your not the only stupid one here
@_Obey_ the reactor's designed in a way that it can "go critical" very quickly. Critical means there's enough radiation that it creates a chain reaction, creating even more radiation. That's where the blue glow comes from. This chain reaction is "poisoned" by certain materials that slow down the chain reaction once they get hot enough, which prevents the reaction from exponentially increasing in power and causing a disaster.
To expound on my comment from before: Uranium produces 2.4 average neutrons per fission. The problem is that these neutrons have high energy, in the Mega electron volt range. In order to cause a cascade of another fission the neutrons need to slow down to about 0.4 electron volts to be absorbed by another uranium atom. To do this they have to bounce off other material in the reactor core many times, like hundreds or thousands of collisions to lose enough energy. If the material in the core is hot already - it doesn't lose as much energy per collision so it requires more collisions. This extra heat effectively reduces the reactivity of the reactor. Normally the water surrounding the core is used as the moderator, but there are limits to how much energy the water can absorb and dissipate over a short period of time. In these clips there is a prompt injection of reactivity which is not how reactors normally increase their power level, it is closer to how an atomic bomb works. What makes it able to do this is the special fuel used in TRIGA reactors. It is Uranium with a Zirconium Hydride lattice added in. During the prompt injection of reactivity (when the operator shoots out the center control rod) - the hydride heats up faster than the surrounding water can, making the fuel essentially un-reactive in the process. So as the core becomes super-supercritical - the heat itself causes the reactor to become un-reactive and the power level drops to sub-critical. I have pulsed a reactor like this many times - the original Mark I TRIGA in San Diego. We typically injected ~ 60 cents worth ( one cent is supercritical) of extra reactivity and I think the most we injected was just under $6 worth, which felt like an earthquake for a few seconds.
Fascinating! I have questions that may seem sarcastic or meme-y, but I can stop focusing on measuring the extra reactivity in monetary units.
Why do you measure in USD? Does the "value" of a cent (which your description appears to mean it causes the reactor to go supercritical) change in relation to the economic value of the USD - that is, do you have to account for inflation?
I have *several* more questions like this, but I'll leave it at this in case the terminology isn't actually a financial measurement.
@@Catman_CM My understanding of the nomenclature is that when they were first developing nuclear technology they needed to name all of the qualities of a reaction and it was a group effort so they couldn't name these qualities after an individual discoverer so they used whatever names made sense. They used dollars for reactivity, and for neutron cross section they used the unit 'Barnes' as in you couldn't hit the side of a barn. There is no monetary link to the unit names.

"and all of a sudden I had a strong metallic taste in my mouth...."
Is that you Slotin?
The Los Alamos Accident, December 1958:
Acute effects of massive radiation doses on humans
The following text is taken verbatim from Shipman (1961). In summary, an industrial accident occurred in which approximately 3kg of plutonium dissolved in solvent was accidentally brought together in a critical configuration. This resulted in an "excursion" of ca. 1.5 x 10^17 fissions. The industrial worker received an acute, whole-body dose of neutrons and gamma radiation in excess of 10,000 rad or 100 Gy (10mSv = rem), where 5 Gy is considered a lethal dose.
Just to be clear this was not Slotin.

Blue light is produced by the Cherenkov effect, quite impressive when you see it for the first time ...
It is a gorgeous shade of blue. And like a rainbow, it's even more so when you understand the physics that produces it.
I have seen a pool with the Cherenkov effect with my own eyes as well, it looks really alien and cool
I don't think that's what Slotin was thinking before he got himself killed
Rise and shine, Mr Freeman!
Hell yeah brother we need more commercial nuclear plants. Here's hoping for fusion, too!
Nukes need heavy taxpayer subsidies as the cost of decommissioning exceeds the value of the power generated over its useful life, who says corporations hate socialism?
When fusion becomes commercially viable, it will be a great moment for humanity. It has more potential for energy production, which is safer because in the case of an uncontrolled fusion, it doesn't cause a chain reaction and is much less troublesome than current nuclear power plants and their high energy waste. Fusion wastes remain active only for decades, not millenia.
@@santitabnavascues8673 couldn't agree more!
@@santitabnavascues8673I would imagine there's a lot less moving parts, right? Seems like a lot less to break. Some of these new designs make fission plants look like rube Goldberg machines lol
I hope they do one for the RBMK not sure if there is one but if there is ive gotta see it
For anyone wondering this reactor does not generate electricity and is used to test different isotopes for safety in other reactors, and the rippling is water they put it into water because it’s cooled and absorbs radioactive particles before they reach the surface while cooling the reactor, very basic and simple reactor unlike actual ones which require more cooling and heating.
In 1980 I was at a 1256 MW reactor cooling pool in outage mode. As the nuclear fission slows, the glow of the water dims. It is a color you would never forget. I think they were waiting on a safer radioactive level, so a diver could enter. Nuclear fission is achieved slowly to control the fission, not like flipping a light switch. Chernobyl is a result of hurried reactions and hasty decisions. Most commercial reactors operate until their fuel is spent and they are placed in outage mode for fuel replacement. If a shutdown occurs, it takes a long time for the reacted fuel to stabilize. The startup would be slow and I don’t believe you would hear all the noise. Most tests are performed on computers or simulators to make sure we don’t have a Chernobyl.
It is said (not confirmed tho) that the tests were scheduled at that date in an attempt to "distract" the masses due to the recent acknowledgement that the USSR radar array was a complete waste of money (to be exact, Duga-3) as despite all the interference they caused in radio transmissions thru all Eastern Europe, they simple never worked from the very beginning, so they tried to go "Oi blin, look how our motherland nuclear energy go brrrr" but it ended up going kaboom. Perhaps the explosion was even part of the plan, I have no proof, neither do I have doubts
The reactors shown here are research reactors. If you actually search for Nuclear research reactors you can find many images and articles where reactors like this are shown. They are often build in a way that they produce short high intensity bursts but the reaction itself causes the reactor to shut down again, making it an inherently safe design which at the same time cannot reasonably be used for commercial energy production. Already the fact that you can directly look at the reactor itself is only possible because it is suspended below enough water to shield from the radiation emitted, but this is not the case with commercial reactors since those are focused on producing a large stable quantity of heat and while water is usually present in those reactors too it is mainly used for heat transfer and not for shielding.

It's actually quite safe. Water is an incredibly efficient moderator.
Understanding the intricacies of nuclear reactor startup isn't just about appreciating complex terminology; it's about recognizing the remarkable blend of science, engineering, and meticulous control required to harness the immense power of nuclear energy safely and efficiently. Each term used in describing the process sheds light on the precision and expertise involved, from manipulating neutron flux to orchestrating the choreography of control rods. Explaining these concepts not only deepens our appreciation for the scientific endeavor but also underscores the critical importance of responsible stewardship in utilizing nuclear technology for the betterment of society.

Notice how those rods that drop in as the light goes off?
Those are the "Control Rods". They are alternated to how much the reactor controllers want the reactor to create energy (full neutron-escape reflection) or if they want to "SCRAM" the reactor (complete neutron absorption).
No, they are not graphite-tipped.
Had to throw the RBMK in there 😂
Oh c'mon... graphite is cheap.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 in Soviet Union lives are cheap!
LOL
RBMK reactors actually had graphite tips being used as a moderator, the reactor itself was built to be moderated like that anyway, it also increased the efficiency of boron control rods. What happened in Chernobyl was because of the pressure to complete the test from the higher ups, even though the reactor was stalled and Xenon poisoning was apparent, Dyatlov still ordered the test to be carried out anyway. So, to raise the power of a stalled reactor Toptunov and Akimov literally pulled every single control rod all the way except for 6 of them, turning an already unstable, stalled reactor into a literal steam engine that is about to explode, the last straw was putting all those rods back in with SCRAM (AZ-5) button. So again, they literally asked for reactor to explode even though they already knew RBMK reactors were graphite moderated with the other half of the rod being made up of boron to further stabilize the reactor.
For those who don't understand nuclear power (myself included) this is an intensely serious job. No mistakes. Ever. How would you like a job where failure is not an option?
You need many mistakes in a row for sometjing to go seriously wrong. It’s safe to assume mistakes happen regularly, but that they have been though through in advance.
Yeah well thats not fully true, there has to happen more than just a single mistake. for example chernobyl. Many people still think to this day that the AZ-5 was the only responsible thing for the explosion but thats bs. Firstly was the reactor poisoned by Xenon, secondly all the control rods were out before the az5 was pushed and in third is that the tips of the control rods were made out of bor that didnt stop the reaction directly when you press the button but infact it jumps even higher for a bit after you press it and that was the thing that blew it up..
So there has to be more than just a single mistake especially today, reactors have gone really safe infact they were almost ever the RBMK is one of the only types that really had faults
@@alphaj4mie-ttv Chernobyl is one giant chain of fuck ups. Everyone involved, from the designers to the authorities, to the technicians had to do essentially everything wrong for the thing to blow up. And it was a terrible plant in a terrible country, 40 years ago.
These are TRIGA reactors, which means even if everyone running it disappeared it would still be fine. As the reactor heats up, the heat kills the reactivity and it shuts down. These things can be (and frequently are) run by undergrad students
So that's the blue flash they saw from the demon core.
Imagine being directly exposed to that. Scary stuff.
@@angrydragon4574you can swim drink because a lot of bacteria is dead but not to far down
Probably not. Cherenkov radiation should only occur when something travels faster than light in that medium. It's highly unlikely that a particle was ejected fast enough to produce it, at least, as of my understanding.
Hey, Cherenkov, you gotta see this!
Beautiful lighting down there.
I just can’t get over how fast the control rods change the reaction state. ❤
Only once in my life did I see a nuclear reactor in action with the blue glow (Cerenkov effect). With canisters of Cobalt-60 and Cesium-137 bordering each side, each with their own blue / purple glow. This was at the Union Carbide (now part of DOW chemical) 5mw reactor in upstate NY in the early 80s as a VIP guest. The blue glow was mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time, as I greatly appreciated the many meters of water protecting me.

So a lot of people know what Cherenkov radiation is (aka the blue glow) but not a lot of people understand why it happens. This is a little weirder than people can conceptualize. It happens when particles move faster than light. How do particles move faster than light when nothing can move faster than light? Simple, if these particles are moving through a median that reduces the speed of light below the light constant. In this case, D2O or heavy water.

It's a research reactor with water as the lid. Usually, it'd be sealed at the top, because that's an unnecessary waste of space, but this reactor isn't for producing any power, it's for testing. No radiation whatsoever at the top, water can absorb a ton.
