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

2019-08-13 04:28:45 UTC  
2019-08-13 04:28:54 UTC  

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

2019-08-13 04:28:58 UTC  

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

Problem. Solved.

2019-08-13 04:29:10 UTC  

@Laucivol There should be!

2019-08-13 04:29:11 UTC  

that was drilled into an existing salt mine, a very different situation
