Control Rods News Today

country hundred about it on the free internet. of course, chinas internet heavily censored. >> it will ripley, thanks so much appreciate it. the news can use the source of kaitlan collins starts now cma straight to the source tonight, he will not be intimidated. a fiery attorney generals slamming what he says are unprecedented entered attacks that up we republican smears and lies about the department of justice and donald trump, former fbi director james comey, will join me live and a ...

What are you going to write about domestic terrorism, white identity, extremism and it will not be old old-fashioned. come next may unfortunately and whats your concern about what that would look like in the united states in a second trump term well, what donald trump has done is lifted the control rods that we as a country have pressed down into the massage minus racist stew thats always been in our basement. we control the culturally, we controlled it with law. he has slowly over the last 78 y...

Concern and rhetoric have ramped up ever since the Ukraine war broke out regarding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Powerplant – so much so that it now has an English acronym, ZNPP. The fear is that one side or the other might seek to cause a dangerous release of radiation or radioactive materials. Realistically the side damaging the plant would be Russia, no matter what Putin might claim.

Fields around the power plant, but the key thing is the safety systems are the control rods that control the nuclear process in there, and more importantly the backup systems that control the control rods. so if any of the systems are damaged, whether it is coolant system around there, whether it is the most vulnerable point, the backup generators to the entire process, if theyre damaged, then you can have a swaegs the power plant melts down, literally melts down, creates gas over pressures that...

>> watch the control rods come out as the control rods come out, the reactor starts. the water starts encirculating through here. >> he was a wonderful speaker and inspiring about american technology and the future and talked about new clear energy being used to light up cities, not just run submarines. so it was a generally positive notion. >> i got into the nuclear business in early 1948. prior to that, i was working on engines for the automobile. everything we had done up until that time to p...

Downstairs and walk away and the machine will shut down all by itself. >> thats been a big question on social media, why cant these things just shut down? >> it will shut down with power. >> you need power to stop the rods from overheating. >> correct. the whole thing happens because the uranium -- im not aa nuclear engineer, but ive listened to a lot of very smart guys. its in and its out. im going to do my best to bring it to laymans terms. fuel rods here get very, very hot. they uranium 235, ...

What you see in yellow are the control rods designed to drop in place and control those nuclear rods to contain the first line of containment, the first line of defense in the event things go wrong. now, heres the rods as they overheat, okay? the water surrounds the area here and the water is used to try and control the temperature. now, after that water inside the pipeline, if that is not sufficient enough, they pump water in from the ocean. into the area, to try and continue to cool it down an...

Maintain their temperature at 270 degrees celsius. but if the cooling fails, the temperature could rise to over 1,200 degrees. this temperature is hot enough to melt the fuel rods. when the earthquake hit, the first safety system to prevent a meltdown was activated. control rods rose into the reactor to stop the nuclear fission. as planned, the reactor stopped operating. but the fuel rods were still hot. water should have been circulated to cool them down. however, this didnt happen. because of ...

Pure, pure water. that pure water boils off. it steams, causes huge amounts of pressure and the pressure goes out through that pipe. >> so these rods come in, they hit the water, they steam. >> yep. you have to be careful how much steam you make. they become up and down here with these control rods controlling how many neutrons are flying around in there, the control rods slow down the reaction. you take the control rods out, you get a lot of reaction and you have to -- >> it comes through here....

Inside the reactors. first, this is all the seismic activity youve seen in japan over the past week. i mean, the original seismic event, you cant see it anymore because these yellow dots show you how many other aftershocks theyve been. heres inside the nuclear plant before the quake and tsunami. reactor one, two, three, and four. most recently an explosion at reactor number four. three explosions overall, and a fire. i want to take you inside on what exactly is happening inside that reactor. hol...
