you have a closed system under constant pressure

Assuming the rock ins't pourus anyway

2019-08-13 04:23:15 UTC  

heat is a bitch, u take away people and electricity and u WILL have a melt down with the current designs

2019-08-13 04:23:46 UTC  

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

2019-08-13 04:24:01 UTC  

because thats reasonable

2019-08-13 04:24:02 UTC  

lol

2019-08-13 04:24:03 UTC  

We're already achieving those depths with oil drilling.

2019-08-13 04:24:16 UTC  

oil drilling is a tiny pipe

2019-08-13 04:24:19 UTC  

and very expensive

2019-08-13 04:24:26 UTC  

nuclear is already too expensive to be profitable

2019-08-13 04:24:34 UTC  

While I question the dangers of drilling 2km into the ground in a populated area

2019-08-13 04:24:36 UTC  

yup

2019-08-13 04:24:57 UTC  

2 km is no problem

2019-08-13 04:25:09 UTC  

the casing keeps it capped

2019-08-13 04:25:11 UTC  

and stuff will still hit the water

2019-08-13 04:25:12 UTC  

I'd assume they already have outlets for steam

2019-08-13 04:25:12 UTC  

that would leave a very long pipe open to the enviornment meaning it is just INVITING an accident

2019-08-13 04:25:17 UTC  

@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.

2019-08-13 04:25:21 UTC  

even 2km down lol

2019-08-13 04:25:26 UTC  

you also have to worry about flashin

2019-08-13 04:25:31 UTC  

It won't hit water it'd be in solid stone

2019-08-13 04:25:34 UTC  

Not dirt

2019-08-13 04:25:41 UTC  

how do you know?

2019-08-13 04:25:46 UTC  

the pressure at those depths is already far above anything humans can bring to bear

2019-08-13 04:25:48 UTC  

ever see what steam can do under pressure?

2019-08-13 04:25:50 UTC  

can you magically tell the entire composition of the rock for 2km?

2019-08-13 04:25:51 UTC  

Toffee is good

2019-08-13 04:25:59 UTC  

it can cut your legs off at the knees

2019-08-13 04:26:07 UTC  

look up lithostatic pressure

2019-08-13 04:26:08 UTC  

I've seen water saws.

2019-08-13 04:26:13 UTC  

Quite a spectacle.

2019-08-13 04:26:24 UTC  

What are saws

2019-08-13 04:26:32 UTC  

during drilling, you log your mud or core

2019-08-13 04:26:33 UTC  

and uh

2019-08-13 04:26:34 UTC  

steam plants SUCK

2019-08-13 04:26:36 UTC  

a lot of reators

2019-08-13 04:26:39 UTC  

dnt actually have outlets

2019-08-13 04:26:41 UTC  

for steam

2019-08-13 04:26:44 UTC  

in the primary ystem
