because naturally it will always be hot
unless cooled
and will melt through everything
pipes corrode
for years
and years
pipes melt
You could build walls (downwards underground) in a square around it that go a little past rock so that there is a divider keeping safe the water table beyond the walls
you have a closed system under constant pressure
Assuming the rock ins't pourus anyway
heat is a bitch, u take away people and electricity and u WILL have a melt down with the current designs
It seems like the most practical solution is giving the uranium and steam somewhere to go. In the case of uranium, you could give it a passage at least one or two miles into the Earth, well below the water table.
my car won't blow up if i just abandon it
because thats reasonable
lol
We're already achieving those depths with oil drilling.
oil drilling is a tiny pipe
and very expensive
nuclear is already too expensive to be profitable
yup
2 km is no problem
the casing keeps it capped
and stuff will still hit the water
I'd assume they already have outlets for steam
that would leave a very long pipe open to the enviornment meaning it is just INVITING an accident
@Samaritan - The drilling isn't the problem.
It's the fracking process and wastewater disposal. Fracking puts the rock under intense pressure, but the pressure is released once the rock cracks. Wastewater disposal does constant pressure, and that's what causes the quakes.
even 2km down lol
you also have to worry about flashin
It won't hit water it'd be in solid stone
Not dirt
how do you know?
the pressure at those depths is already far above anything humans can bring to bear
ever see what steam can do under pressure?
can you magically tell the entire composition of the rock for 2km?
Toffee is good
it can cut your legs off at the knees
look up lithostatic pressure
I've seen water saws.
Quite a spectacle.
