Bizarre Radioactive fluorescence inside the nuclear reactor 

Almighty Deity yes thank you. A very misinformed video.

FlyingSeaMan256 very much so.

Agreed. A thermonuclear reaction is a fusion reaction, involving the fusion of hydrogen and other light elements. Nuclear reactors use uranium fission, not fusion. Also, the water used for coolant cannot possibly be 300 Celsius, since the boiling point of water is 100 Celsius. It would flash into steam in a few seconds.

It always amazes me how ignorant people can be. They often confuse fission vs fusion, steam explosion vs nuclear explosion, and they all get so scared of radiation in general because they cannot distinguish between alpha, beta, gamma or even the natural background radiation. Of course it needs to be played safe when handling nuclear stuff but it's still driving me nuts when I read in some silly media how many people died due to Fukushima accident. The number of casualties directly related to radioactive contamination, in fact, equals zero. Period.

Jan how you can pretend from average people to understand those concepts? 70% of the people live on the planet just survive. They don’t even know that astronauts live in the space since time.

Haaaahaaa love it

@@Jazzglenn Try reading some sources that provide actual credible information instead of fear-mongering. The Nuclear Engergy Institute's website is a good start.

@@Jazzglenn nuclear reactors are not atomic bombs lmao.

@@Jazzglenn Nuclear reactors cannot physically detonate like atomic bombs. Uranium used in reactors is also enriched by 4 or 5% max, while in atomic bombs is more like 95%. Chernobyl was a freak accident caused by negligence and incompetence. That reactor was dual purpose (military and civil), it didn't have a containment structure and was run by people who had no idea what they were doing (they had also deactivated security systems to run some tests). Today's reactors have active and passive security systems and don't have positive coefficient void. Operators need to be certified and go through thousands of hours on a simulator, just like airplane pilots. This is why nuclear energy is the safest technology we have available today: less deaths per kilowatthour than solar panels and wind turbines.

@@thekyuwa and adding to that, what went boom and blew the lid of at chernobyl wasn't the fuel itself but the water meant for cooling, which evaporated because of the immense heat. And without cooling the fuel melted through the ground.

Does that mean Einstein was wrong?

@@boiboiboi1419 no, since the speed is relative, each material or absent of has a set speed limit, we call that limit the speed of light because light is a weightless particle that can go upto that limit. Here in water it shown as blue because the visible light is going so fast that some hit water molecules and slow down to this blue white. Essentially there so much light being generated, increasing the amount of collision that it results in blue. (I think this is it, Idk the fenomenon) There's also the speed of light through air, glass and other materials.

You actually could swim in the water during a reaction, so long as you don’t get too close, you would be fine

Mild contamination, I'll be fine

actually the water is perfectly fine to swim in as long as you stay towards the top. If you dive all the way down to within a couple meters of the reactor then youre dead.

Cool👍😊

In a sense it is if you consider that the light from your screen comes from the energy contained in the battery which was charged with a current that was produced from that uranium fission. You could say that the energy of the photons coming into your eyes does come from the fission of uranium atoms.

Different radiation. That is electromagnetic radiation. Not the ionisation radiation that you get from radioactive elements.

"Cherenkov radiation (pronunciation: /tʃɛrɛnˈkɔv/) is an electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. The characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor is due to Cherenkov radiation."-Wiki...

If you really wanted to do that you would not have so much wrong information in the video.

Both scientists and engineers do their job, that's all. One involves building big machinery and the other one involves discovering the principles that are used in these machinery, including how to design the composition of the steels that engineers will use to build anything, including the special alloys that need to sustain high doses of radiation.

Physicists create the math, Engineers create the machines that harness the math. Technicians prevent them both from getting blown up. Draftsmen used to be a link in the chain, but AutoCAD has been enabling engineers to create defective drawings for decades now.

Become both

Don't forget, both are useless without a machinist.

all would starve without farmers

yes. And Tcherenkov effect is due to the particle which is faster than light in THE SAME medium.. It's not the speed of light in the void!

yep 3s in an im like nope there's no real science here....

Correct.

it’s actually fusion taking place fission happens in the sun and we’ve only managed to achieve fission for microseconds at a time, fission takes place in the sun combing elements into heavier ones e.g hydrogen to helium and releases millions of times more energy. Fusion however is when an atom is split releasing neutrons and radiation forming a lighter element that is why plutonium is the waste product of nuclear reactions and not an element with double the amount of protons than uranium, also its basically impossible to fuse to uranium atoms, the sun can only ever reach iron in its lifetime then it stops burning as it cannot fuse iron into heavier elements. This is the GCSE way of naming so it may not be sufficient to the American education system.

Yeah but you sure can't have the effect of instilling fear if you use the correct terms.

Kaboom

Dyatlov: Let me introduce myself-

Not much in this case. There is no xenon build up in those reactors atm.

@@flixri726 it wasn’t the xenon that made the reactor explode, but just the graphite. The xenon gas actually desacelerastes the reaction of the neutrons, but the graphite moderates it to make it more reactive. When the xenon was all gone, the reactor at Chernobyl started to make a lot of heat, which vaporized the water, make it moderated less the neutrons but the graphite didn’t stoped. Then the power rise quickly, and the control rods were used. As you know the graphite tips also accelerates the reaction. The water pressure finally have enough force to break the fuel rods and obstruct the way of the control rods, only letting the tips inside. The reactor endlessly accelerate to the destruction.

How is this thing got Hearth lol

If you only knew that we you see as a glowing blue light is literally a “sonic boom” from the radiation produced traveling faster than light in the medium (water). This leads to compression of the light before it hits your eyes or the camera thus blue shifting the light. This is a little more complicated than a dye placed in a toilet cleaning solution.

@@williamgorham7339 party pooper!

"... trying to slow down to the speed of light" ... of the surrounding medium, aka water in this case.

You were almost right. They're not going faster than the speed of light, merely faster than the phase velocity of light through dielectric medium. Big difference.

Deionized

hi thanks for your comment. But what exactly do you mean?

@@WorldTopONE so how long does the fuel last before it needs replacing again?..months,, years?

@@WorldTopONE A "thermonuclear reaction" is what happens inside a hydrogen bomb. It does not occur in a nuclear fission reactor. Essentially there is a plutonium fission bomb (often referred to as an "atomic bomb") inside the hydrogen fusion bomb. When the atomic bomb goes off it generates enough heat and pressure inside the bomb casing to cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together into helium atoms. This releases much more energy than the atomic bomb could release all by itself. This reaction, where the heat from the fission bomb causes fusion, is called thermonuclear because its a nuclear fusion reaction that's triggered by the heat created by a fission reaction.

@@joevignolor4u949 First of all, thank you so much for your concern. secondly, in what you said this is of great importance and I'm also pleased that my vidnl watch people who understand this!!

TRIGA has been safely pulsed, by yanking the control rods out at high speed, at up to 22,000 megawatts. Its designed with prompt negative fuel temperature coefficient, so it rapidly reduces reactivity as its uranium zirconium hydride fuel temperature increases. Yea, research reactors are used, among other things, for making new isotopes by exposing samples to the strong neutron flux in a small chamber within the reactor for high exposure, or in one next to it for slightly less of an exposure. They also expose samples to a neutron beam inside of a scatter chamber with detectors for research as well. Technetium 99M is one isotope they make in research reactors. It's used in nuclear medicine. I have a GI issue with food staying in my stomach for long periods of time. I've had times where I've gotten up in the mornings with food from the previous morning, and day, still in my stomach and with hellacious acid indigestion and nausea. Anyway, they wanted me to eat some scrambled eggs with Technetium 99M powder in them, to see why it was taking so long for my stomach to empty. I decided against it though. I used to work with x-ray fluoroscopy systems in a hospital, and got some scatter exposure, even though I was wearing lead vest, skirt, and thyroid shield, and used pull down leaded glass shields with leaded rubber flaps hanging off the bottoms of them, but I was using the system to fluoro lead aprons, vests, skirts, and thyroid shields for holes and defects, so the x-ray tubes were having to go up to a maximum of 120 KV and 350 mA to shine through the lead. I'm sure I got plenty of back scatter from the walls and everything in the room though. I also had lots of CT scans, a barium swallow with a bunch of scans, and an upper and lower GI before they wanted to do the Tc99M, so I figured I had, had enough rays to do me for a while. I didn't want Cherenkov glow coming from my nuts! 😁😁😁 JK

Neutron source to initiate reaction.

Yes. On a normal startup, the control rods are withdrawn slowly to control the power ascent. The glow would be quite bright at 100% power.

This is true, They are mostly used for "doping" silica.

They totally do produce power. The power is just in the form of ionizing radiation and neutrons since there is no turbine attached to the cycle.

@@matthewjames8127 You're right, of course. I should have said research reactors do not produce ELECTRICAL power.

I wasn't sure I heard her correctly! When dropping a Thermo in there, I thought I misunderstood! LOL! Good catch.

fission

Pop comes from the champagne bottles they open after flicking the switch

By pushing the fuel tablet to attain a certain mass,and there it starts..

One of the control rods is rapidly withdrawn from the core by an air-operated cylinder equipped with travel stops set by the operators. This causes the reactor to go "prompt critical", reaching around 100 times its actual rated thermal power. But this power output lasts only milliseconds before it is dampened by the negative temperature coefficient of the fuel. That is, the heatup of the fuel tends to limit its own power output. It looks dramatic, but it does no damage to the fuel.

@@nickc8819 no, it's the sound of control rod moving. If you watch, you'll see the rods move

I was just thinking the same. We have come so damn far from basic fire but we still ultimately use a steam powered engine to power our homes.

Take out those things and you will have emergency water for the times we are approaching. Some plastic containers also work good.

What do you mean by a pool of water beeing a research reactor? I think all of the swedish powerplants have the reactor submerged in water

Yes, all Swedish reactor fuel cores are submerged in water. But, the water is sealed inside of a pressure vessel, not in an open-top pool. The pressure vessel allows reactor core temperatures to be well above the unpressurized 100C boiling point of water and generate high pressure steam (either in the reactor vessel for Swedish boiling water reactors [Barseback, Oskarsham, Forsmark, Ringhals-1] or in an attached steam generator for Swedish pressurized water reactors [Ringhals 2,3,&4]. Open pool reactors, research reactors, cannot supply pressurized steam to turn a power generator turbine. @@perhenrikhaugskott2184
