- Hundreds of staff will continue to work at the South East’s only nuclear power plant ‘for decades’, according to the station’s director. That’s despite a decision by EDF Energy not to resume electricity generation at Dungeness B, which has been undergoing maintenance since 2018.

Love 3:37 when the guy pretends that he's doing something just for the camera.
So we need more so called "GREEN ENERGY" and they do this lol
Hunterston B and Hinkley Point B are also being switched off in the next year, and Hartlepool and Heysham 1 will follow not long after. Hinkley Point C will replace two of these stations, but we are still almost certainly going to end up burning more gas to generate our electricity... successive governments have failed to invest enough in the nuclear industry over the last 40 years and as a resilt we are going to be forced to emit even more CO2 to generate the electricity we need.
Did you hear what they said? they said there were more faults than the engineers knew about, no one could of known how long those faults were around.
Hinkley point B had many faults, most of them were corrected but some remain and require the reactors to run at 70& capacity.
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 the next ones will need to be built with more care... hopefully SMRs can pave the way for safe nuclear reactors, with the govt investing over 300 million I hope we can find results!
Absolutely idiotic design, NO containment for the reactors, merely corrugated steelplates and even windows. In case of catastrophic accident, this paperbuildning would fold lika e deck och cards
Molten Salt Reactors are comming, thank you. But those 4th generation reactors are not really compatible with the old nuctear tech, in fact, you can rather retrofit a coal plant then a nuclear. Light water reactors should never have been build in the first place, the inventor said so for a good reason.
Lightwater PWR is perfectly fine. BWR lightwater is fine these days too. You have to remember. The inventor made the BWR before things like RCIC, RCSS, LPCI, HPCI, the RPS, safety standards, simulators, all of that.
So essentially. What makes LWBWR (light water boiling water reactors) so safe now adays are the increased safety systems that have been invented.
RCIC (Reactor Core Isolated Cooling System) This is a steam driven pump which takes steam from the core to drive a pump which takes water from the condensate storage tank and moves it into the reactor. The steam driving the pump is then put back into the taurus of the reactor or the CST. This works even in the event of a total loss of power. Which would include... 2-4 transformers, 4 diesel generators, and 100s of batteries.
RCSS (Reactor Core Spray System) This system sprays water directly onto the steam bubble to rapid suppress and cool the reactor.
LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant Injection) This system rapidly raises water level after shutdown.
HPCI (High Pressure Coolant Injection) This system rapidly raises water level if scram has just happened and pressure is too high for hte LPCI to inject efficiently)
The RPS (Reactor Protection System) This system prevents the operator from moving rods when unncessary. It also automatically moves rods to level out all of the fuel channel temperatures. It also automatically does certain actions. See. A BWR RPS is capable of fully keeping a reactor from melting down for SEVERAL hours as long as at least batteries are operating.
As a matter of fact. Coal has killed more people than all nuclear disasters combined. And all nuclear disasters combined have killed less people than most energy sources. Even some of the renewable ones. The reason is simple. Radiation is not as bad as living in proximity to other people and their CO2. Something like chernobyl would be bad, however, now the wildlife a few decades later is thriving now more than it ever has. And TMI didn't kill 1 single person. There was a lot of scare about cancer related deaths, however, there was no data to correlate such findings elevated outside the cancer that is already caused by the coal and gas power.
Here is a fun fact. A coal plant produces a SIGNIFICANT amount of radiation due to contamination from uranium.
