>>722038316
uranium put close together gets hot. heat boils water to steam. steam turns turbine. turbine spins magnets around coil of wire, creating flow of electrons you call electricity.

>>722038316
Shoot neutrons at fissile material
Material undergoes fission, releasing neutrons and fission fragments with kinetic energy
Heat is generated due to particle interactions from fission fragments
Heat is transferred to water
Water becomes steam (or there is a secondary system where there is another heat transfer cycle)
Steam goes through a turbine, makes the turbine spin, the turbine then generates electricity
used steam is condensed, then pumped through the cycle again

They'll basically ask "who wants to be an ELT?"
They generate a package for you, you do a little paperwork, and then it's up to your crew's ELT staff whether or not they want you.
You'll get this book called the Volume 1. Use it, instead of your coloring book, to study. You'll be leagues ahead of the other guys qualifying.

Not OP here - but studied electrical engineering.

'Real' power is dissipated as heat through a resistance. Like your toaster - a purely resistive load.

'Reactive' power is that component of the power that is alternately stored and released by reactive elements in a circuit (capacitors and inductors) - so it is never really consumed - it just sloshes back and forth between source and reactive load. A motor is a mostly reactive load.
Reactive power is only a consideration with AC - with DC all power is real power.

Does that make sense?

Don't you think current nuke tech is rather wasteful at .5% fuel usage?

>>722040480
It's extremely wasteful, that's why we started to look into breeder reactors a few decades back. But Admiral Rickover decided light water reactors were the way to go, and we found a bunch more uranium so we stopped giving a shit.

>>722038632
You're close, U-235 is the fuel they use in a light or heavy water reactor, the water acts as a coolant (under high pressure) and a moderator for the neutrons that fly out of every fission. The U-238 will also split but releases less than two neutrons in the slow spectrum so they have to replace fuel every 18 months consuming only .5 or .7% of the fuel they put in

Why didn't 3 mile island have a complete meltdown?
How dangerous is it living within 20 air miles?

>>722040660
Ya, Oakridge university developed the thorium salt reactor but it wasn't pursued because it was too clean. They wanted fuel for bomb making so it wasn't useful for them. Now we enrich U-238 with what? 1.7% U-235 to keep the reaction going for a while in a thermal neutron burner? This kind of nuclear energy is what gives the tech a bad rep.

You're everything that's wrong with America, OP.

>>722041326
English please.
Just what did you mean?
I want OP to answer

>>722041109
(Not op) 3 mile island was caused by accidentally releasing the coolant through a valve due to high pressure readings. Since it never got totally uncovered with coolant it, meltdown was avoided. In terms of radioactive particles coal plants release a lot of radioactive particles that were trapped in the coal. Nuclear reactors are quite safe as long as there is power for the coolant system, all the fission products remain in the fuel pellets

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

Mitsubishi fucked up SO, bad. They knew that the designs were bad, they knew there would be problems, they did it anyway.

Then Edison, rather then admit they fucked up, just said "plz taxpayers, take this off our hands". Its sad really, the last nuke crews (that are not military) in the south west where there, now they are on notice.

Yes it could take a hit from a 737, mostly because the classic reactors would not react poorly with the Al of airplane.

And no. There are major metallurgy issues that need to be hashed out before molten salt reactors become a reality. Also, thorough backup heating capabilities to evenly heat the metal or salts during shutdown periods. Also, more research on spectrum cross-sections for thorium.

But it really doesn't matter. There's plenty of U-235 and research gained through light water reactors has allowed us to be able to develop fast uranium reactors. In reality, fast uranium gas reactors would be easier to create and use with the level of knowledge we have now. Stop believing everything you watch on YouTube.
