You really need to pull down that totally flawed video about that 100 micro Watt battery claiming it can charge a phone. It's super idiotic cause a modern phone uses 1000 times more power just in standby and even if you turned off the phone completely, it would still take more than 10 years to charge it. Rather, you can earn a ton of credits by making a debunking video concerning the applications for nuclear battery technology considering isotopic power density and beta (or alpha or gamma) voltaic energy transfer efficiency. Even the most radioactive (most isotopic power) isotopes wont ever get close to the power density of Li-Ion besides being extremely dangerous and expensive. Tons of stupid videos are made of it and sadly you joined the crowd of stupidity. Go fix it, and you will be a hero of science 🙂

You know Tyler's already fed up when he doesn't bother doing his intro.

I'm sad you didn't start the video with "Hi I'm a nuclear engineer with over 10 years of experience" part of your intro :( , still very good video, also I suggest not looking at videos with creators who have ai voices or ai art as many of them can be very misinformative.

Yeah I rewinded the video thinking I missed the intro 😂 I think debunking is the point of the video.

You know Tyler is annoyed when he doesn’t say “I’m a nuclear engineer with 10 years of experience in the commercial nuclear industry. From engineering to operations to emergency response. I don’t claim to know everything but I can certainly share some knowledge.” Inspiration from skube587 for the original comment, I just wanted to add a bit more.

I'm starting to wonder if rebranding nuclear power plants as "quantum energy generation centres" would finally get the public to support them. I really suspect the majority of opposition to nuclear power generation is the result of people remapping their fears about nuclear war onto anything nuclear.

@@guillaumeberger3598 It's very impressive of you to realize that you NEEDED to be challenged like that, and excellent that once you learned from this amazing nuclear engineer that you said to yourself (and now even to us!) that "Hey, I was wrong about this stuff!", so 'kudos to you'. And yes, this man seems to be quite sensible about what he knows, which is very helpful of him. I'm glad to hear that you have changed your own mind. That's not easy for (too) many of us!

The Elephant's Foot was lethal in about 3 minutes of exposure when it was first discovered about 6 months after the accident. It may have been as hot as about 1800 Celsius when it formed, but its surface cooled to near room temperature by the time it was discovered; it has not moved a centimeter since that time. The picture showing it as appearing to be hot was actually lit by Kornyev's flashlight with long camera exposure; the room is and always has been black dark. By the time Kornyev photographed himself in the room (ten years after the accident) the time to lethality was more like 30 minutes; today it is more than an hour (38 years after). Kornyev was interviewed in 2015 in retirement, 20 years after his photo session with the Foot. I fully agree with the nuke engineer. No one wants nuclear bombs ever used again; hell, I don't want any bombs used again, but both of these videos are fear-mongering for shock value. That is simply stupid and has no place in serious discussions about nuclear physics and technology. Stick to the facts, and leave the opinions at home.

I identified the reactor facility you reference working at from various clues, and obviously will not name here, but given the age of that plant, I was amazed looking at the site view how few waste storage casks there were stored on site. It really brings home just how low the volume of waste generated is from nuclear facilities.

First I like the new intro. Second I thought about the decay heat and tought that you could use heat pumps to distribute it into different homes. Therefore you would have a lot more usage out of the fule. Even after it is spent.

0:52 possibly centrifuges for uranium enrichment?

I love when people go on about how unsafe they are and the hazardous health effects. When more people die from second-hand smoke exposure every year than the entire history of nuclear accidents. Or the idea that the HLW will be weaponised and used to spread radiation over a great mass of land. If we had that much HLW, maybe we'd have solved the energy crisis by now.

Yeah, you can grow food, but good luck shipping all of it where you need it, and good luck keeping a fraction of your industrial base running.

Hey there Tyler, I am a high school student working on research paper for a class. I was wondering if I could interview you and ask some questions. I am not educated on nuclear, but I have been using your videos and as reliable sources as I could find. My questions might not be very difficult, but I thought it might make a nice video to condense some of the more commonly asked questions along some that you might not have encountered. Love what you do and keep up the great work.

TikToks raise MY risk of cancer. Primarily brain cancer.

I found this by encountering in recomended 24s ago

When I set off a '100MT Tsar Bomba' I noticed that my blast effect radius went exactly as far as your map, so that wasn't the 50MTons that the Tsar was as detonated. They set it to "only" 50 megatons because it was going to have NASTY-gross fallout otherwise, and it wouldn't be worth them doing that even to show off, so the Tsar COULD have had another 50MTon stage for a full 100 megatons of blast equivalence, but they set it off as only 50...which gives me an outer blast radius just short of Fredricksburg. :) Setting to 100 gives me your result, but the '50 MTon As-Tested Tsar Bomba' preset comes out to an air-burst blast reaching only to Stafford/Baltimore. Also, the 50/100Mton Tsar Bomba presets are much more exciting for fallout maps, with hot-green (500 Rem) in the center, then Orange out to a bit past Arlington so the 'green area' would be INSIDE the fireball anyway so who cares about 500 Rem of fallout/exposure. Red (20PSI blast wave/Heavy damage) extends to Takoma in the north and Alexandria in the south. 5psi (moderate) blast damage goes to Fort Washington in the south, and Aspen Hill/Almost to Rockville in the north. Wild. Thermal Burn limit is 60km, which is all the way to the outskirts of Dahlgren or Stafford in the south, and Eldersburg/the city-center of Baltimore in the north. Those 'Thermal Burn' victims are third-degree burned anywhere they are exposed to the blast's light. Also maybe blinded, of course, even just from reflections. Turning on "Fallout modeling" gives me an 'Up to 100 rads' fallout channel leading halfway to College Hill from the detonation site...so anyone in something strong enough to survive the nuclear fireball will not be coming out any time soon. 'up to 10 rads' fallout goes most of the way to Newark, and 'up to 1 rad/hr fallout' extends to some area a bit past a line drawn between Philadelphia and Reading. It doesn't have a convenient end-city-marker in the map result I got. 220km estimated '1 rem/hr' fallout plume, for whatever that's worth. End America? Nooot nearly. Cause a TON of special elections? Definitely. Plus side; the gridlock on the Hill would surely end after that!

More fun than the 100, even.

Quick question - would you expect for nuclear war to create areas that are no-go zones for years after, not due to fallout (the worst of which decays on the order of days), but instead due to collapsed building dust? I’m not sure what the environmental half life of asbestos dust is - it won’t decay, but whether rain washes it out of the air seems like a question of weather.

Nice video.

Could you maybe do a video about how we currently deal with nuclear waste products, how long they have to be kept safe and what plans there are to keep them safe for that amount of time?

9:27 fun fact there are actually 2 more dangerous corium masses in Chernobyl. The Heap is only a bit bigger and more dangerous than the elephant's foot but The China Syndrome (yes that's it's actual name) is roughly 3x more radioactive and is a hell-of-a-lot bigger.

Where are these wonders? I've never heard of them in the literature I've read. By far the worst concentrations of radiation outside the inside of a running reactor are the masses of fresh spent fuel rods moved out of the reactor and into the cooling pools. Yet they are handled readily (underwater, for sure) without harm to the technicians.

Fear equals clicks

I remeber reading that there is no point to going higher then 100 megatons because more then that and the effects are wasted into space instead of spreading out more.

To anyone who wants to see him react to the full thing, the linked video in the description doesn't contain it. It's a pity, because the video he's reacting to actually contains most of the things he's commenting about. 😁

Deadliest room in the world lmao. How about an inside of a tokamak?

Oh. Oh no. I left a comment saying something along the lines of "this is surprisingly un-shit, considering it's TikTok" on the previous TikTok reaction video. This one made it up 100x. What even AAAAAHH! Make it stop 😓 By the way, if someone claims that three of the lowest quality TikToks are enough to make the USA uninhabitable, I'd believe it. Doesn't even require a bomber.

Going to make a couple of quick comments as i came here from the short, then watch the full video so apologies if either of them were raised in this full video. Whilst a Tzar Bomb wouldn't normally be able to contaminate the entire US with ust 3 bombs, if converted to a cobalt bomb it might actually be able to do it, (and probably more). Those things are kind of freaky with the potentiol they have for rendering huge area's uninhabitable for a very, very, very long time. The US, and presumably Russia did run concept studies on detonating very large, (Multi-Gigaton), bombs in very low orbit as a way to hit continent sized areas with extreme thermal pulse. The low orbit location would mean for a very large radius the atmospheric attenuation would be greatly reduced, and the high yield would keep the thermal pulse effect intense enough to be dangerous over that kind of effective radius.

We have things much larger than any nuclear bomb, they are call volcanos. Krakatoa exploded at around 200 megatons, 4 times the size of the size of Tsar Bomba, yet Indonesia is still there. Tsar Bomba was a weapon of propaganda, not war, it produced almost no fallout, being mostly an air detonated hydrogen bomb. Nuclear weapons generally have this funny place, any war the goal is to ether take land, or force a change of administration in the government you are fighting, without creating a flood of refugees. Nuclear weapons aren't really a good idea for ether, beyond ether shock value, like WW2 or threat value, like the cold war, outside of those two things, they are pretty useless.

The AI stuff at the beginning is part of a horrible trend that has been increasing a lot lately, it was shown by Kyle before which at times even uses stolen content for example parts of his video on the Chernobyl dogs and it's mass spammed by people to farm views.

Tiktok - the greatest source of reliable information :)

Hi Tyler!

(At least, until fusion becomes viable in like 20 years lmao)

I'd bet good money that first video was also written by "AI", probably that second video as well. If that second video was sincere, the person does not even know what a nuclear power plant looks like, they think coal power plants are nuclear, but in all likely hood it is probably written by chatgdp as the imaged are clearly generated. Some people only get their information from shows and movies, that bald guy is one of them. That must be the kind of guy who thinks "life as we know it" means all life because he can't imagine anything outside what he thinks he knows. The last one is another guy who gets his information from fiction. If the Czar Bomba was that powerful Russia wouldn't be a country anymore.

I understand the calculated, estimated number of human deaths per wattage caused by nuclear energy is a tiny, tiny fraction of the same figure for coal or oil energy. Really, if it hadn't been for the Democrats' own scaremongering against nuclear energy preventing us from adopting it on a larger scale, their electric car switchover would be a few steps closer to being practical now. Not quite there yet, but decades closer than it is as it stands.
