That would actually be a good Monty Python skit, like the government broadcast from the Home Office on "how to avoid being seen." "Clearly, he couldn't avoid being shot." 😆

I work at a nuclear plant, and in short, here's what will happen: Water serves as a neutron reflector and the hydrgoen absorbs radiation and shields you from it, so virutally nothing would happen to you if you were to swim in it. Touching a fuel rod: Fresh fuel rods are safe and you can hold it in your hand. In fact, we handle fresh fuel rods by hand and use only gloves, although nothing would happen if we didn't. Safety first, though. Spent fuel rods, on the other hand, are extremely radioactive, so if you want to touch it, you will fail because you'll be a goner by then. Now, one thing interesting is, since water is such a strong shield, you could swim in a spent fuel pool up to some extent. 3-4 meters is very safe. Half a metre deeper, you have a couple hours to live. Another half a metre, you have minutes.

Fun fact: just under the surface, you would receive LESS radiation than you would outside the pool. Because the water would block the natural background radiation. As long as you stay at least 5 meters away from the fuel rods, the water and the inverse square law will completely protect you.

false buddy: you receive a dose which around ponds (non-loitering) signs are displayed as you are intaking well above background levels, if you were to jump into a pond you would likely intake a dose that would give minor radiation sickness and greatly increase the risk of cancer etc... drink one gulp of that water in and you have recieved and internal dose of radiation which with a half life of over a thousand years is likely to kill you within weeks. Side note: All of your theories are based upon realistic equations such as the inverse square law but don't take into account how real scenarios work. Have a look at nuclear plant video of a spent nuclear fuel rod pond and it will describe better

The author of XKCD asked his friend, who worked at a research nuclear reactor, what would happen if you tried to swim in their spent rod cooling pool for his book "What If?". The friend answered, saying "In our reactor? You'd die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds." For sure backs up the real question of what are you doing near a spent fuel rod pool, and how did you even get there.

Borated water is also used when shutting down a nuclear reactor (after dropping the rods) or when reducing its power level. The spent fuel pool is not just simply "water".

I work in nuclear reactors moving fuel assemblies in and out of spent fuel pool. Guys have fallen in and they just have to shower a few times and get their dosage tested.. the only big deal is filling out all the paperwork and then being ridiculed for years after lol.People think its unsafe but its actually a very safe job and by far the cleanest/most efficient form of energy production on the planet

It all depends on the facility, I can think of a few that if you fell in you'd be dead in a month or so! This video reflects modern spent Fuel Ponds and not Legacy Facilities which are far more hazardous and radiologicallly challenging. Cool video though.

I've been on this earth for 44 years, and I've always wondered what would happen if I fell into a nuclear fuel pool. After all these years, I'm highly disappointed.

Energy-production reactors on the other hand are deadly, not only due to the radiation because you will be pressed against the rods, but because you will be sucked into the turbine for producing the electricity, also you would have to fall into it when the fuel is changed because they are otherwise sealed. Also for nuclear fusion reactors, the first one in a size where you would fit into is ITER which will be finished in 2025, entering the reaction chamber would spell cruel death as in there will be a vacuum and the low low temperatur of 180.000.000°C.

Alpha radiation travels mere microns before being absorbed while beta radiation travels a few centimetres before being rendered mostly harmless due to the decrease in energy of the high-speed electrons. For gamma radiation, however, the energy is halved per 15 cm (6 in) of water but is never blocked fully and thus being attenuated (reduced). There will be a reduction factor of 100 for 30 in (76.2 cm) of water and 10,000 for 60 in (152.4 cm). Like aforementioned, these numbers depend heavily on the energy of the gamma waves. This is based on ionising radiation, however, and ignores other particles such as neutrinos and so on, though these interact with matter very little and so are not relevant in this context. Additionally, due to Cherenkov radiation, the pool should emit blue light, not green, as this is a common misconception.

Nobody gives a shit because nobody swims in spent nuclear fuel pools.

If you have seen one, the water is beautifully crystal clear except at the bottom near the fuel rods and containers holding components of the fuel rods bundles. That area is blurred due radialitic decomposition of the water. That was the explanation from HPs on site.

This is good information. I'll keep this in mind whenever I happen to walk around a spent nuclear fuel rod pool. 😉👌

One time while working nuclear plant refueling outage… I was helping to remove underwater cameras when one of the cameras cables rubbed against my white protective coveralls. I was wearing medical scrubs underneath and when I left the RCA (Radiological controlled area)… the scanners alarmed. I ended up losing everything above the waist. Hard hat, shirt, handheld radio… they were able to clean the radio but lost my favorite hard hat. Haha

You know the fuel rods that just came out of the reactor during the last refuel outage, they are the ones with brightest blue glowing Cherenkov radiation. the oldest are fairly dim by comparison having been there for much longer. The spent fuel pool is usually outside of containment which houses the reactor.

It’s honestly my dream to swim in one of these. I’m not joking, I really do.

My dad was a teacher. They let people visit the local nuclear plant. The guide said that yoy can swim in it but that they would be more concerned by you contaminating the water. And then i kidd you not they got to walk over one and one student stopped and started pissing in the pool. Safe to say the school was not allowed back ever again. My dad always had the class of trouble makers. He was really good att working with the kids but they did stuff like this also.

Yes, however explaining it to the public helps dispel fear. Most people don’t understand nuclear power; thus ignorance and fear. If you’ve studied nuclear physics and energy production, the takeaway is basically “keep it cool”. All the rest is standard safety protocols with a little bit of radioactive material handling. Nuclear power is well understood, and we should be using it as much as we can.

@@kensurrency2564 Well put. Most people have the awful habit of believing everything they hear or see from the media (whether it be news, movies, documentaries) without doing any kind of research on their own. In fact, I shunned nuclear energy until I took some time to learn about it. Now I shun the dishonest anti-nuclear groups which exaggerate (if not outright lie) about the dangers of nuclear energy. Personal horror stories from Chernobyl or Fukushima do not take precedence over peer-reviewed statistical data. And the data states that nuclear energy has resulted in much fewer deaths than any form of fossil fuel and even some renewables.

Wow that's not at all what i would have expected. Thought you would start to boil from the inside or something. pretty Amazing really

Falling into a deep pool and a nuclear plant sounds absolutely terrifying

Him: it's safe! Me: ok, jump in , lemme see

Wait I got a question! What about getting sun burnt when swimming. Does sea water protect you and absorb the UV radiation?

How the water protects the human body from radiation even if a person fell into the pool is insanely cool! I was expecting a lot of negative effects. Boy was I wrong!

Because water is fairly dense. Have enough matter in the way, it'll stop radiation. Alpha radiation takes a piece of paper to stop it. Beta takes some thick foil. Gamma radiation takes about 1-2m of concrete. The water pools have plenty of excesses :)

Honestly, no. I have a sneaking suspicion this video is bullshit. Water is not a magical shield against radiation. While it is a good buffer, I would gamble that falling into it will still result in cancer within a decade. Same reason why radiation doesn't go away when it leaks into oceans but instead travels to coastlines, killing thousands of fish and putting drinking supplies at risk, not to mention getting evaporated by the sun and rained down onto coastal cities. Just... don't fall into radioactive pools at all.
