whats it called

2019-08-13 04:20:24 UTC  

chinatown syndrome?

2019-08-13 04:20:27 UTC  

something like that

2019-08-13 04:20:27 UTC  

the contamination to the water table is the worst danger

2019-08-13 04:20:31 UTC  

not the land

2019-08-13 04:20:44 UTC  

All land has a local water table so

2019-08-13 04:20:54 UTC  

if you fuck the water you fuck the land tho

2019-08-13 04:20:57 UTC  

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.

2019-08-13 04:21:18 UTC  

I have a plan

2019-08-13 04:21:26 UTC  

so think of it this way my man

2019-08-13 04:21:29 UTC  

you have a control rod

2019-08-13 04:21:30 UTC  

true but like in Pripyat, there is only enough water for some animals

2019-08-13 04:21:38 UTC  

a stick of uranium capable of being used in a reactor for years

2019-08-13 04:21:39 UTC  

not enough for town of people

2019-08-13 04:21:40 UTC  

years in which

2019-08-13 04:21:42 UTC  

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.

2019-08-13 04:21:44 UTC  

water is used to always cool it

2019-08-13 04:21:50 UTC  

because naturally it will always be hot

2019-08-13 04:21:52 UTC  

unless cooled

2019-08-13 04:21:56 UTC  

and will melt through everything

2019-08-13 04:21:56 UTC  

pipes corrode

2019-08-13 04:21:57 UTC  

for years

2019-08-13 04:21:59 UTC  

and years

2019-08-13 04:22:01 UTC  

pipes melt

2019-08-13 04:22:09 UTC  

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

2019-08-13 04:22:22 UTC  

you have a closed system under constant pressure

2019-08-13 04:22:44 UTC  

Assuming the rock ins't pourus anyway

2019-08-13 04:23:15 UTC  

heat is a bitch, u take away people and electricity and u WILL have a melt down with the current designs

2019-08-13 04:23:46 UTC  

It seems like the most practical solution is giving the uranium and steam somewhere to go. In the case of uranium, you could give it a passage at least one or two miles into the Earth, well below the water table.

2019-08-13 04:23:59 UTC  

my car won't blow up if i just abandon it

2019-08-13 04:24:01 UTC  

because thats reasonable

2019-08-13 04:24:02 UTC  

lol

2019-08-13 04:24:03 UTC  

We're already achieving those depths with oil drilling.

2019-08-13 04:24:16 UTC  

oil drilling is a tiny pipe

2019-08-13 04:24:19 UTC  

and very expensive

2019-08-13 04:24:26 UTC  

nuclear is already too expensive to be profitable

2019-08-13 04:24:34 UTC  

While I question the dangers of drilling 2km into the ground in a populated area

2019-08-13 04:24:36 UTC  

yup

2019-08-13 04:24:57 UTC  

2 km is no problem

2019-08-13 04:25:09 UTC  

the casing keeps it capped
