​@E Van I think one of the key takeaways is that instead of a graphite moderated reactor that needs the water to keep it in check, these are water moderated reactors that require the water to make fission possible. If the reactor gets hit and the water drains out, what little reaction there is will stop. If the water converts to steam, the reactor will expel it, then dry up and then stop. Thus the reactor won't become a giant self sufficient raging inferno.

@E Van RBMK is BWR type reactor. Edit: But I ack that RBMK is not commonly categorized as what is known as “BWR.”

Most people aren't very smart, and this isn't a truly simple concept. Fission is complicated, and the Dr. Is explaining is explaining it very well. (but who thinks about heat transfer, fission products, how fuel rods are built, or how reaction containers are fortified.. Or even the mass of depleted fission products and how they are not easily aerosolized? Very few, I assume.)

if it was more widely understood there would be far less anti-nuclear hysteria, far more nuclear reactors and far lower CO2 emissions.

They're about the same design vintage - VVER type PWRs. Much safer than RBMKs for obvious reasons.

I just watched over 2 hours of vids from this channel. Fascinating stuff and extremely well presented. I'm a U of I civil engineering grad so it makes me happy to see a prof of this caliber at my alma mater!

I was wondering if you were still doing KZread videos, glad to see you are still around

Outstanding presentation at a time when people are worried. Thank you.

Thank you Prof! If only the news could play this video , Useful information would be delivered by them 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you for this concise and on point presentation! Very much appreciated.

It was a wonderful surprise to open KZread and find a new video from you! Thank you so much!! We have missed you!!!!

Always good to see a new video from you, but especially so in these times and on this subject. Thanks for some reassurance.

Timely video professor. Great explanation. Awesome learning information. Love the squeaky marker. Cheers man.

Glad to see you back! Commenting for the algorithm!

Thanks for doing this. I'm a long time watcher of your show, and I used to live in Zaporizhzhia. Thanks for all the amazing content

Very happy to see Mr EnergyProf back! I always love these videos!!!

I always enjoy your content Professor Ruzic. I hope you make more content if/when your busy schedule allows.

Ayyyyyy you’re back 🙏🙌😭😭😭 your videos are so unique, thank you for the information

A most timely video Professor. Good to see you back.

Thank you so much for this most informative video, Professor! This I can use as a tool to dispel some of the fears of people around me here in Europe. You can explain it much better than I can. As a not-at-all nerdy hobby I study nuclear reactors (with a heavy emphasis on the good old RBMK, though flawed it is in its design), and your videos have taught me so much about the subject of fission/ nuclear reactors. How I wish I would have had the chance to follow even one of your classes. Keep up the good work!

So good to see you again Professor. Thank you for the informative explanation of Ukraine's reactor designs.

Hey professor! Long time no see! Thanks for explaining that to us! By the way, when will you come back to Brazil so I can be your guide again? Say hello to everyone for me!

Great video as usual

Any teacher I had would drop my scores for referring to Wikipedia :D It's so satisfying. Great video, thank You, please publish stuff more often.

Thank you Sir!

I would add that graphite, that was in RBMK reactor, which was secondary moderator that kept reaction going, also is flammable and it's hot ashes became radioactive that spread with wind across long distance - modern reactors not only do not have secondary moderators, they do not have flammable/ash-able components so EVEN in full and total meltdown with uncovered reactor core (which itself is very hard to achieve), hazard zone would be localized, and not widespread.

That was a nice presentation. Simple to understand. I have a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering, U of I, 1981; now pretty much retired. I feel that I got an excellent education there, and I wish you all the success in your career. My career did not go so well, unfortunately, but I had a few psychological "issues" that made it difficult to work with other people (and at times endangered my security clearances), and that was fatal. I had a feeling that my college life would be as good as my life would get, and except for making big bucks for several years, I am now a pensioner waiting for his next check. Sorry to cheer you up so much!

Hi David, i have been watching a lot of your videos about radiation and was wondering would it be worst to try and intercept a nuclear strike due to high concentrations of nuclear material being scattered when it is intercepted?

He's back!

It really takes a war to get you back? Seems a high bar.... Great to see your notification.

Please continue making more new videos.

HoloProf! I wonder if the black jacker was intended as it works better with this amazing magicboard.

Why didn’t you touch on the control rods being down or the rods themselves not containing only fuel pellets? I guess it would’ve distracted from your point but even if there was no water or even if the control rods failed to fall into place it would become a molten mixture containing these other neutron absorbing materials preventing disaster both with the design of the fuel rods themselves & even more so when contained within the core of a reactor that’s made to prevent any such runaway reactions…all of this being contained within the building you described (and all being stuff you surely have a deep expertise in).

Any reaction to the Leslie Stahl - 60 Minutes piece this evening?

Can proline act as a rapid acting light induced molecular dispersion agent mid air?

Please do more videos we miss you.
