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

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

2019-08-13 04:26:50 UTC  

the steam gets sent down a duct

2019-08-13 04:26:52 UTC  

to be cooled

2019-08-13 04:26:55 UTC  

but stays inside the system

2019-08-13 04:26:57 UTC  

at all times

2019-08-13 04:26:59 UTC  

That's all correct but putting a 2k deep hole through any structure could still be hazardous and we don't even know said structure

2019-08-13 04:27:12 UTC  

you are refering to a dual-loop cooling cycle

2019-08-13 04:27:21 UTC  

ummmm....no

2019-08-13 04:27:25 UTC  

We make holes that deep all the time. That's not the problem.

In Oklahoma, it's the wastewater disposal wells that have caused all the Earthquakes.

2019-08-13 04:27:43 UTC  

drilling a hole through a major geological structure does jack shit

2019-08-13 04:27:44 UTC  

you have a reactor loop with dirty contaminated water and then another loop that passes through the tubine

2019-08-13 04:27:46 UTC  

Yeah I was thinking maybe not because the steam could get contaminated but you'd still want an emergency release valve even if its into a sealed chamber

2019-08-13 04:27:55 UTC  

scale scale scale

2019-08-13 04:28:08 UTC  

the steam is always contaminated

2019-08-13 04:28:12 UTC  

its been directly touching the rods

2019-08-13 04:28:40 UTC  

the scales drilling can work at are orders of magnitude below what the earth itself does

2019-08-13 04:28:44 UTC  

And this is what happens when u don't survey corrrectly

2019-08-13 04:28:45 UTC  

Yeah I thought about that but I'm not an expert on nuclear engineering so I went with doubt
