Uranium gets hot enough to melt.
will evaporate the coolant
they will
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
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
so think of it this way my man
you have a control rod
true but like in Pripyat, there is only enough water for some animals
a stick of uranium capable of being used in a reactor for years
not enough for town of people
years in which
Why can't you do the same with a reactor? Just have a pipe that goes super fucking deep, so deep that it doesn't even matter, and if your fuel melts it goes down there.
water is used to always cool it
because naturally it will always be hot
unless cooled
and will melt through everything
pipes corrode
for years
and years
pipes melt
You could build walls (downwards underground) in a square around it that go a little past rock so that there is a divider keeping safe the water table beyond the walls
you have a closed system under constant pressure
