steam creates pressure
and blow the closed coolant system
Why not give it room to do exactly that? Turn to steam, and go somewhere else.
This is why they build them inside giant concreate spheres so that if it does go boom the radiation cannot escape
uh
if it turns into steam
cause it is about 1000x an expansion
it cant cool down your shit anymore
lol
not to mention having superheated steam
exploding your reactor
isnt exactly a good thing
The steam explosion is the problem. If you can avoid that, a meltdown just fucks up you reactor and requires a lengthy repair process.
so for every 1cubic ft of watter, you'd need 1000cuft to hold the steam at the same pressure
no
just tell it to chill
a real meltdown
the rods
Uranium gets hot enough to melt.
will evaporate the coolant
melt through the concrete
yeah, the rods are also a problem
It wouldn't just fuck the reactor though it'd melt through the floor imao
melt through the ground
even the spend fuel genrates heat
and infect all of the spring warer
to the core of the earth!
and underground water
in the viscinity
yup
poisoning the land
whats it called
chinatown syndrome?
something like that
the contamination to the water table is the worst danger
not the land
All land has a local water table so
if you fuck the water you fuck the land tho
Where I lived, they poured concrete going 20 stories down because the clay soil was super deep, and they wanted to build a skyscraper on it. They had to go 20 stories down just to hit bedrock.
I have a plan
