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.
that was drilled into an existing salt mine, a very different situation
achernobyl impacted most of eastern europe pretty heavily
an accident in mexico would still fuckover the us
plus youd have incompetent mexicns running shit
also massive body of water, so not all man made
nah, we build a container that can survive catastrophic failure droped from orbit. test the HELL out of it, then launch the waste
i can test a container
They blow up nuclear bombs underground just build the whole facility underground
can't test something to last 10k yrs
