As I am just an average person who enjoys science in all its forms, this was a great educational video. Never in my life did I expect to see a nuclear reactor in both start up and shutdown mode.
A very precise process. A matter of inches can be the difference between normal operation and super critical.

@@MaSa-bp5qe Ayo
Nice pfp, can apreciate
I thought it meant that orcs were nearby.
The clarity of that water is astonishing, I've never seen water so clean & clear before, in such a large volume
I imagine the 1MW of heat plus all the neutron and gamma rays go along way to keeping the water clean. I imagine they also have to keep the water very clean as it's used for research purposes.
The water have to be clean. If there's any salts or unknown ions in the water they will over time make deposits on the side of the reactor walls, which will decrease the heat transmission coefficient, making the water less good at cooling. Most powerplants use deuterium (heavy water/D2O) as cooling and neutron moderator, which has to be very pure.
@@rasmus1600 This isn't a power generating reactor, it's a university research reactor.
@@rasmus1600 I know, I'm not questioning why it has to be so clean. I'm just simply amazed by it.

That blue light is “Cherenkov radiation”
What that guy said. Iirc, cherenkov radiation is not very dangerous.
I worked for Commonwealth Edison in Illinois for 17 years as a mobile maintenance mechanic at the Will County Station 18 plant in Romeoville, IL. I traveled to Dresden Nuclear plant many times over during those 17 years for refueling and other maintenance outages. I got to see the fuel pool which had a beautiful cobalt blue glow. I also changed out and rebuilt fuel rod drives. I had a mental understanding of what was going on while the reactor was running but this is the first time I've seen that process. Thanks for sharing this.
That’s quite amazing, what did it take( like the process) to be able to work there?
I’ve always wanted to become a nuclear engineer myself so I’m just curious 👍

Nuclear reactors don't blow like a nuke, but that doesn't me they can't go "nuclear" and create a massive steam/nuclear waste explosion
@dick_kickem 420 IIRC that wasn't an explosion but a meltdown, still devastating nontheless
@dick_kickem 420 for the sake of the argument, the explosion was steam based, not nuclear. you basically drop a super hot rock into a cooking pot and close the lid real fast, it goes boom.
technically the water/steam was radioactive, but it's not a nuclear explosion.
so the explosion was not nuclear, then it was on fire for a bit, which was the main problem as far as radioactive contamination goes.
tl;dr it was radioactive material on fire, not a nuclear explosion, the explosion was steam.
basically the argument is: you got boiled in water, not fried in oil. same-ish result, one's slightly less worse than the other.
@@dacomputernerd4096 did he say nuclear explosion? no... so who asked you?

The individual reactor design determines a lot of the safety risks involved. That and waste disposal. Events like Chernobyl and even the more recent Fukishima incident involved outdated somewhat outdated technology and newly built reactors are said to be significantly safer (especially compared to RBMK used in Chernobyl). That being said nuclear technology will always have some risks - those risks however are often less than those of other power sources including hydroelectric damns that have killed more people than reactor incidents. I also think reactor design can be further improved and made even safer with enough research, we already have ideas on how to do this but don't have the funding.
Bloody awesome video. The pace and explanations are perfect. Thank you!
I'm so happy that we live in a world where Cherenkov radiation is conveniently visible under normal underwater reactor operation so we can witness that beautiful blue glow
It is so beautiful when you are not looking directly at it
@@cacadorcurioso7224 it’s said in the video that you actually can look directly at it because of the shielding provided by the water, but of course I expect that you can’t stay three hours watching at the reaction and not at 1MW

@@0_741 what the fuck did you just said AKIMOV
This really goes to show that Nuclear Reactor technology really doesn’t deserve the bad reputation it gets, especially with the modern designs we have for them. Most of the reactors that have had issues in the past were literally designed 60-70 years ago. Think about how much technology has advanced in that time... we can do better.
Its not that nuclear technology is dangerous, as you said, technology is advance enough that something happening like in Chernobyl is highly unlikely..
The concerne is danger from natural causes, like what happened in Fukushima. We dont know what future holds, some catastrophe on bigger scale will happen sooner or later, and then we might have serious problems with those reactors and nuclear waste.
Which also is another concerne, nuclear waste, besides Finland, nobody else permanently store their nuclear waste for now.. Waste is being hold in the power planet itself, or on some locations, but not permanently sealed and buried, and in that state is always potentialy dangerous..
@Hamburglar the exiled yup
Nuclear reactor technology definitely deserves its bad reputation. When operators are constantly vigilant and abiding by all safety procedures, everything's gravy. But it only takes one time for something to fail or somebody to make a mistake and shit goes south extremely fast. Both Fukushima and Chernobyl proved that. Fukushima even had safety backups with backups after them. Mother nature fucked all that up.
@@Rob-hv5zq Fukushima was a bad plant with very bad location and absolutely inadequate safety precautions for earthquakes and tsunami's.
@@Rob-hv5zq Actually stuff cant go down south really fast in modern reactors. Chernobyl was a catastrophe by design which was only able to happen duo to the use the nowadays very outdated solid fission moderator Graphite and the use of only 2% enriched Uranium (instead of commonly used 3-5% which is more expensive) so the catastrophy wouldnt have been a suprise if looked at from nowadays perspective.
Fukushima is a nuclear reactor build on the edge of one of the most earthquake torn islands.
I cannot imagine a case of a modern nuclear reactor going boom if its not right at the edge of a continental plate.
You can run planes into them and the fission reaction is self controlled duo to the design of the reactor, if every worker in a nuclear facility suddenly died the reactors would happily keep on running until fission stops, cooling and moderation is self sustained and unless not explicitly told to do so otherwise by human intervention (or the water pool having a leak...) the fission will decrease not increase.
I have to come back to this video from time to time. It's genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Thx for that experience and data👌🏻
For those wondering it is going faster than the speed of light in water but not faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
If i am not wrong i think in perfect vacuum, there is by definition no matter. So no electrons to be ejected at high speed from their atoms by the gamma particles from the reactor's core. So i think the question of the Cherenkov effect is pointless in vacuum.
Bruh what are you on
@@AdriStouse Vacuum's still have particles.
Casimir effect, and no true vacuum exists anyway, though experimentally could be considered statistically void of matter.
It is not pointless to make the distinction of water vs vacuum as it is about lightspeed references on the wavefront. The whole point is to not make people think electrons are literally going true FTL. It's just a reference map, quite standardised in mathematics, engineering and physics.

Oh you know just swimming in the feed water. Its warm, not great, not terrible.
Oh god no. If he got a hold of this reactor they’d have to make another HBO miniseries. “Anatoly Dyatlov and the radioactive boogaloo: Part 2”
lmao from all the memes here, this one is the best
Comrade Blyatlov!
alternative title: testing my nuclear reactor in my pool.
@@PelonMusk who hurt you, my boy
even though the pool is big, a megawatt of heat would get it toasty warm pretty quickly. 👍🏼
DIY,and very cheap,i made it with some spares i had from other projects or found in the trash,so very cheap.
"I made a test on the air turbines of my nuclear reactor and this is what happened XD"
There you go!
Very interesting and easy to comprehend, amazing!
Danger controlled. Thanks for the video. 👍👍
Beautiful video. I've seen the Cherenkov effect several times in person having worked in nuclear maintenance. It's always a sight to behold
Whats even more amazing is st elmos fire on wings of plames or masts of ships. That blue electric discharge glow is something 2 behold no matter its source
Unless it's in open air, then it's the reaper's flashlight
@@FleshWizard69420: I can't help but think this is a Louis Slotin reference. :(
Less toxic than most kid pools.
The kids wee in them. If this were a kids pool it would glow green/yellow and then there would be 5-eyed squids.
No really, water is amazing radiation insulator, no radiation reaches the surface of that pool. You could literally drink it. Ofc because it de-ionised, you would easily get nauseous, but its not serious.
Remove the kids and it will be toxic-free
@@jarskil8862 I would not recommend drinking the water from that pool. Neutron radiation tends to destabilize molecules around it, turning them radioactive. The reactor itself also releases Tritium, radioactive Helium, radioactive Xenon, etc., which can't be effectively caught by the cladding of the fuel rods and remains solute in the containment vessel water. Boiling water reactors are pretty safe, but not THAT safe.
Yep, in fact it's much less cancerogenic than chlorine infested water in the public pools.
Thank you for this very informative and interesting video clip
Fascinating. Thank you.
I can imagine hearing that low growl from the inside of a starship.
J. Vinton oh hell yeah.
@@eiteiei4063 Lol, well fuel and other means of producing energy aren't effecient. You need to refuel constantly. Not with this.
@@slightlyamusedblackkidfrom9153 Well the only real alternative is solar. It requires technically no fuel and it's much more lightweight, at least compared to a nuclear reactor. And it doesn't cause an environmental catastrophe should it crash.
@@eiteiei4063 how would a spacecraft suddenly crash in space?
