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.

What are saws

during drilling, you log your mud or core

and uh

steam plants SUCK

a lot of reators

dnt actually have outlets

for steam

in the primary ystem

the steam gets sent down a duct

to be cooled

but stays inside the system

at all times

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

you are refering to a dual-loop cooling cycle

ummmm....no

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.

drilling a hole through a major geological structure does jack shit

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

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

scale scale scale

the steam is always contaminated

its been directly touching the rods

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

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

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

Why am I suddenly getting images of Homer at the nuclear plant? XD

Here's a solution: We'll build the nuclear power plants in Mexico, and run power lines North into the United States.

Problem. Solved.
