I just found this video, and I have to say I found your narration to be pretty funny to me. You see, I am a nuclear reactor operator, and have been for the last 20 years, and it was pretty funny seeing you try to figure out what everything was. You were wrong about most things, but that's understandable, because most people don't get to see this stuff and just don't know. I certainly don't mean to be insulting, I just found it entertaining. The room where you were talking about having 500 buttons, that's a chemistry control area, that controls various plant systems like condensate polishers and measures various chemistry parameters. The big arch looking thing you walked under is part of the inner turbine casing, and the orange thing you saw when you climbed that long ladder over the shield wall is the turbine itself. This plant is a boiling water reactor, meaning that it takes contaminated steam directly off the top of the reactor to spin the turbine, so the turbine and condenser have a big shield wall to reduce radioactive dose (Note: this particular plant, Shoreham, was never operated commercially, so there would be no significant radiation concern). The chemistry lab you found is just that, a chemistry lab. But it's not a bunch of mad scientists doing weird chemistry experiments, it's just a bunch of chemistry technicians that pull samples of all kinds of fluids from different systems in the plant to measure the chemistry, like pH values and to measure the radioactivity of the samples and stuff. They just measure the chemistry of the plant systems, and add different chemicals to keep everything within the chemistry limits to prevent corrosion of the materials. Towards the end of the video, when you went through the airlock, you did enter the primary containment, also known as the drywell, and yes, the reactor vessel is located in the center, there. What you were looking at is actually the concrete support structure that surrounds the reactor, but yes, that's basically the reactor. You kept mentioning the reactor core, but there is no core there, anymore. The actual core, the uranium fuel assemblies, have long ago been removed. The reactor vessel is still there, and is essentially a big steel empty pot. Your description of how reactors work was also pretty humorous (and only partially correct), lol. Basically you have a bunch of uranium rods with water flowing around it. A neutron will hit a uranium atom, and cause it to split into two fragments, and release a few more neutrons. Those other neutrons, on average, one of them will hit another uranium atom and make it split, causing more neutrons, which causes another uranium atom to split. None of it is a chemical reaction, it's all a nuclear reaction. The pieces left over from splitting the uranium, known as fission fragments, have a lot of kinetic energy, and they heat up the water flowing around them. The water ends up cooling the fuel as it removes the heat, which is why it is called reactor coolant, and it keeps the fuel from getting too hot and melting (meltdown). As you heat the water, it boils and turns to steam, and then that steam is used to run the steam plant and operate the main turbine. The steam plant is essentially identical to what you would have in a coal plant, you're just boiling the water by splitting uranium for heat instead of burning coal for the heat. Control rods are used to some extent to control the power, but how much water is being pumped through the core and how fast it is pumped is the main method for controlling the power level, at least in a boiling water reactor like this. In a pressurized water reactor, it's basically the same, but there are a few differences, and we also use boron in the reactor coolant to control the power level.
@@Swizzlestik No. At the end of the video, they went through the air lock into the containment drywell. At 13:25 in the video, they are looking at the concrete support and primary shielding around the reactor vessel. I guess you missed the part where I mentioned that I am a licensed reactor operator with over 20 years of experience. Here is a cutaway view of a GE BWR reactor building: image3.slideserve.com/6645227/reactor-design-ge-mark-i-bwr-l.jpg Just below and to the right of the arrow labeled "drywell" you see a yellow door. That is the air lock they went through. Just inside is the concrete support and shielding that surrounds the reactor vessel. The turbines are not mounted vertically like what you see at 13:25, the reactor vessel is. They came across the turbines earlier in the video. At 9:50 that is part of the turbine inner casing, and at 10:15 that is the turbine outer casing.
The reactor was never used, it was decommisioned before it went online due to public concerns with atomic power...... The way they work is simple..... In laymans terms, the reactor creates heat with is fuel rods.....enough heat to generate steam which then inturn spins conventional turbines, just like in a coal fired power plant.......the reactor is just a fancy way to boil water. the big Orange unit at 10:36 is a turbine.......it spins a generator to make electricity. To any URBEX people out there, please respect this place......you are very lucky to have this place to explore, and if you do the right thing and don't destroy it with vandalism and tags, it may remain open for a long time......but the minute it becomes obvious people are getting in and causing trouble, it will be fortified or demolished......the general public will not understand it is benign and safe........they will demand it is gone ! Take only Pictures....leave only footprints. For anyone doing any naration, it would be worth your while to watch some Nuc Power plant video's on RUclips, and learn what some of the things in there are and their correct names etc......makes a much better video.
Guys, Shoreham was never used! There is absolutely no risk of him contracting radiation sickness or something similar- nothing was ever put in the reactors, cooling towers, turbines, etc.
in the control room TCV is a temperature control valve, PCV is a pressure control valve, MOV is a motor operated valve, TIC is a temperature indicating controller, PIC is pressure, LIC is level, the alarm panels are called annuciator panels, levels are measured in percent of a measured level column 0 being empty outside of that they have mercury switches for redundancy that give high or low level alarms and then secondary switches that are labeled low low or high high level alarms that are interlocked to automatically start shutdown procedures
10:38 This actually not the reactor that's the turbine hall. So it's a turbine. The reaction also has nothing to do with what you said other than the control rods. It works by splitting any type of atoms with usual neutrons and boils water and makes steam for the turbine. The control rods are what stops or slow down the reaction so they don't melt.
10:05 "don't make me feel like an idiot". No need for me to make you feel like an idiot, you are doing a fine job of that by yourself. Those are turbine parts. not "the actual reactor". 10:45 If that is what is being taught in schools, then we are in deep deep trouble.
9:47 actually the procedure is to scram and in almost all planned for catastrophes power is required to keep the reactor from getting even worse. Whether this is powering pumps or coolant channels etc.
Keith Explores You can access electricity for free if you take the time and effort the government does to make the machines that generate the power in ur home
Having worked in several nuke plants I think what you were exploring was the turbine building. I did not see one radiation warning sign which tells me that this most likely a PWR type facility.
The orange machine you thought was the core was the turbine generator set. And you don’t ever want to touch the core it would kill you without double plastics breathing air and lead shielding. I know this since I work in a nuclear power plant
BWR guessing by the large concrete radiation shields around the turbine. Unlike PWR, which has a secondary loop to feed steam to the turbine, BWR steam comes direct from the reactor to the turbine. So there is radiation around the turbine, but only while it's operating. It dies down to safe levels pretty rapidly when shutdown.
Some mention that this is the old Shoreham plant on long Island. If yes, I worked there for two years in the 80s. The nuclear fuel is loooooongg gone. Sent to another plant of similar design. But, most components of any steam power plant are unique and not interchangeable with any other facility. Generally- but not always. The first big red/orange thing he calls the reactor is actually the low pressure part of the steam turbine. Anyway- interesting look back..
typically from whAt i can see some companies dismantle reactors, some don't the ones that don't might have had a melt down moment and they have to leave them...
all the equipment in here is much older than 1990s. Any plant built in the 90s is still operational and you wouldn't be able to get within miles of it unless it had a visitors center. This looks like maybe late 70s to early 80s at the newest. But most of those are still operational. So i don't know where you're at. reactors shut down are typically older than 1970s.
If you watch lots of abandoned building exploring videos, most of the time people have to sneak in to the buildings. They even have security that stops by the places to keep little shits out. Technically, this is trespassing.
There laws about trespassing in certain sites in the UK (which is not just England). Nuclear licensed sites would certainly be one those that would have laws covering them.
Exploring With Danny it has to be connected. It's hard wired into the power grid because if an active reactor lost power it would have a high chance of catastrophic failure
@@ExploringWithDannyhow in the hell did u get in there I went at 2am and hopped a back fence and as soon as I walked up to it the alarm went off and there were dogs on us within 5 mins
From what I was able to gather, with the Long Island Power Authority wording on one document or sign, you explored the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, which never went into full power operation. It was essentially a fully constructed Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear power plant that was never allowed to operate. Interesting story in Wikipedia on this plant and the history. The good news - anyone who's been in this plant should not receive much (if any) radiation. However, they did perform some low-power reactor testing, so be careful if going into the drywell (containment) structure via the fairly large circular equipment hatch doors. If I read the Wikipedia story correctly, all the nuclear fuel was removed and transferred to another site. Amazing that the plant hasn't been razed to the ground. What a loss.
Such a tragedy the plant was closed. Too bad they used fuel. Austria has one that was never used and never had any uranium. So it was turned into a museum.
I have a question, I saw in a different video of it think the same place and before they got close to it the emergency sirens went off. why did that happen when the reactor is shut down
Dope video, if I were you I would have brought a geiger counter with me to make sure I wasn't exposing myself to lethal doses of radiation. Where is this?
I'm all for adventure but exploring these abandoned plants is a horrible idea because the government will lie and say that these plants were never used when they were
If you can go inside the core then the plant never actually had a functioning reactor, in other words they never put the fuel rods into the reactor. They may not have had the fuel onsite at all!
If it’s Shoreham, there was fuel on site at one time, IIRC, it operated at very low power for a short time. The rule was eventually shipped to another plant and used there. If there was still fuel on this site, there would be guards and other personnel monitoring it.
You guys might have just shown what fukushima looks like on the inside. That control room is nearly identical to the one in fukushima, thus the reactor would be the same and the interior layouts would be identical
Bordermemes as I keep saying lol almost no reactive material would be in here and then if here was it would be in small amounts. All nuclear waste and fuel is taken when the reactor is shut down. Otherwise Isis would have blown up massive cities by now. The procedures for dealing with this material is extremely stringent and it's all tracked
absolutely correct. exploring any nuclear site requires a rad/Geiger counter. even though the site may contain no new, used, or spent fuel, there may still be fissile material in the air and in the water on the ground as well as the surrounding dust.
the caution tape is just for decoration, they do that at all power plants, except at coteva agri-science, there they use it to try and make you fall while carrying heavy things -
too sad this place is getting more beaten up as it is getting more attention.... it wasin better shape when the proper people visited the place - anyways exciting and informative video :)
If it was nuclear it would be cool to bring some meters to check for radiation. Maybe someday in the future you will be able to explore Chernobyl or other huge abandoned places.
I believe I know that power plant that you were walking around in.... That is located out on Long Island NY? The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant??? I lived only 2 miles from that plant when I was in my early teens.
You are pretty brace going into a nuclear plant that is still got the power on...one of these days it will get in bad shape and BOOM Edit: why was the place abandoned
Man for some reason, nuclear places like this scare me so bad! Im 15! The whole time in my head i could hear nuclear sirens im not sure why they do they just do!
What? Where did you dream that up from? The power is left on because it is hooked up to the electrical grid and it is cheaper to leave the power on then to remove the plant from the grid. You can't learn from cartoons.
That is not the reactor core, lol. That was the turbine generator. I don't think you even went in the reactor building in this whole video. You would have had to go through an airlock. I work at a bwr plant not to dissimilar from this.
I love all the ambient noises in this place are amazing! The whole place has a grand apocalyptic feeling! Are we talking Golden Silo? Fav childhood game right there!
State of new York voters refused to let it go critical in other words it was built but fears of nuclear energy caused it to never to be used it's called the shoreham facility btw.
If you ever can, go around in Chernobyl but with protective masks and gear but idk if the guards will let you thru or you'll get caught. But never goes into the actual power plant, way too much radiatiom
L Zach80 well actually there are giant pieces of metal and debris that are strewn throughout the city that contain the same if not more radiation as the reactor itself
Nuclear power produces no CO2, no NOx, no particulate pollution. People are afraid of it because if there is a freak accident, it can kill you spectacularly, but conventional power sources like coal and gas are killing all of us in slow motion every day with their waste products. Nuclear waste is problematic but it isn't released directly into the atmosphere during normal operation; it just needs to be managed properly. Renewables like wind and solar are the only thing better, but we're still in the early part of the development curve if we want to use those as our primary source of electricity, so we'd be better off in the meantime if we hadn't virtually given up on nuclear power 40 years ago.
Nice video. But I would like to suggest you to do some narrative after recording it. You can voice over some part with loud noises like the part with the air vent (?) noise. You can also try adding some extra facts about the power plant or get some information from a guide. Other than that, you did a great job recording it. Keep up the work dude. :)

Awsome vid man. Keep up the good work
Where is that nuclear plant?
Replace "I don't know with "I am absolutely clueless", and you'll be a little closer.
You are pretty brace going into a nuclear plant that is still got the power on...one of these days it will get in bad shape and BOOM
Edit: why was the place abandoned
Allison Brown Actually the power is still on to KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING, because in 80's there was a ton of protest for it
Makes sense thanks for the explanation
Man for some reason, nuclear places like this scare me so bad! Im 15! The whole time in my head i could hear nuclear sirens im not sure why they do they just do!
You have no idea the safety built into ever nuclear plant. It really makes you wonder how it could run without something tripping it offline.
confluburator vavle the wire harnesses were for xbox and playstation, respectively
i was waiting to see a dude in a lab coat doing experiments
I was waiting for somebody to ask him what is he doing there and say that he wasn't allowed to even be there.
the elecricity in nuclear power plants continuous going on for almost 100 years aftee that they shut down on they own ot some of them just explode
What? Where did you dream that up from? The power is left on because it is hooked up to the electrical grid and it is cheaper to leave the power on then to remove the plant from the grid. You can't learn from cartoons.
+LiaM MaiL dude, there are idiots all over this comment section. No one knows shit about any of the things in the video.
+Providence83 lol
That was harmless and hilarious, good troll.
I like your videos man, have you ever plan on going to the pacific islands to explore
maybe one day depends on how many abandoned is has
Theres a few abandoned places, if you add me on instagram, I could show you some pictures.
All the ones that got nuked by atomic testing?
Hope the radiation levels weren't too high. Looks like the employees left in a hurry, hmmm?
No that orange thing is the low pressure steam turbine I use to work at a nuclear power plant in the 90s I love that job (bwr)
What if you turned on the whole POWER PLANT REACTER IN ALL
10:35 is the turbine hall
HP and ISC terminals are mid to late 1970s vintage.
This gave me that Chernoybal Diaries vibe.
You shouldve brought a hazmat to protect from radioactive particles
MASTER GABE 202 there would not have been anything left. The whole point of a reactor is that no radiation seeps outside the core to the workers
That is not the reactor core, lol. That was the turbine generator. I don't think you even went in the reactor building in this whole video. You would have had to go through an airlock. I work at a bwr plant not to dissimilar from this.
You obviously don't work in a nuclear plant because at 13 minutes he walked thru the containment airlock
That hum is the the electrical step down transformer for the light's
Pretty sure that's Shoreham and the chamber at the end is a shelter.
it's primary containment.
why was there so much noise in there???
Lol that explanation for he nuclear reactor XD hahaha. atleast you tried i guess.
10:38 , it isn't the reactor. It is the turbine hall :)
Okay why is the electricity still on even now? I just saw a video of two guys eating pizza in one of the control rooms
this power plant is literally a mile from grandmas beach house, ive been wanting to explore it for so long
is there mad security?
I love all the ambient noises in this place are amazing! The whole place has a grand apocalyptic feeling! Are we talking Golden Silo? Fav childhood game right there!
I looked up golden silo and nothing came up
Guys can you believe it, inside the reactor facility, there is a reactor.
Wow man..You really need to look up how nuclear fission works.
I'm not really that sure that is actually a nuclear power plant.
It's a nuke plant.
I know I’m extremely late but this is a nuclear power plant in shoreham New York it was decommissioned and never was used because of public concerns
What you called a reactor core, looks more like a generator to me.
there's also security building connected
Found you on game grumps. Nice vid dude, I subscribed.
FYI this is shoreham nuclear pp.
ur welcome🙃
Be very careful my advice never touch any button because you can activate activate a system.
Why was it abandoned?
Cool video btw
Spaghetti old and probably cost more to maintain then it was worth
State of new York voters refused to let it go critical in other words it was built but fears of nuclear energy caused it to never to be used it's called the shoreham facility btw.
Why don't they bring a Geiger counter
power still on cause there is people working in a building nearby and the sirens will randomly go off
If you ever can, go around in Chernobyl but with protective masks and gear but idk if the guards will let you thru or you'll get caught. But never goes into the actual power plant, way too much radiatiom
L Zach80 well actually there are giant pieces of metal and debris that are strewn throughout the city that contain the same if not more radiation as the reactor itself
Miss Pinkkush I know I'm just sayin don't think your safe outside of the reactor lel
what a nuclear reactor core?
It's amazing how much they left behind nuclear power plants are not good for the For the Planet but anyway it's still good.
Nuclear power produces no CO2, no NOx, no particulate pollution. People are afraid of it because if there is a freak accident, it can kill you spectacularly, but conventional power sources like coal and gas are killing all of us in slow motion every day with their waste products. Nuclear waste is problematic but it isn't released directly into the atmosphere during normal operation; it just needs to be managed properly. Renewables like wind and solar are the only thing better, but we're still in the early part of the development curve if we want to use those as our primary source of electricity, so we'd be better off in the meantime if we hadn't virtually given up on nuclear power 40 years ago.
Nice video. But I would like to suggest you to do some narrative after recording it. You can voice over some part with loud noises like the part with the air vent (?) noise. You can also try adding some extra facts about the power plant or get some information from a guide. Other than that, you did a great job recording it. Keep up the work dude. :)
If nobody turned off the reactor it might still be generating power to power the power plant
