Chernobyl reactor active?

Part of it is going hot again and they dont know why? Even if they figure it out now sure there is anyhting they can do about it.

Probably melted down to a weak spot. Any tremors around those parts?

Ya gotta love nuke power huh?

Ya gotta love nuke power huh?

It's still the cleanest, most cost-effective option available. Actual adults understand this...

Well fortunately humanity doesn't have any sort of impact on the planet, so this is fine.

Nothing beats clean oil and gas for safety and efficiency. Coal plants with good scubbers are nice too.

It's going to require more concrete pumped under and over the top. But if they get an uncontrolled reaction it's going to be bad.

The problem with slow reactions like this is that they usually result in enrichment of uranium 238 into 239 as well as plutonium...which are really good at having uncontrolled reactions.

In fact, you do.

More than likely the water around it has become either broken down and no longer viable, or it's become contaminated with something reacting to the radiation that is making it hot again.

They need to dig all that shit up and shoot it to the sun.

Me?

Nope. Not even at all

Is that how it works?

Um...no...

Then you are a fool and not a serious player with regard to climate change.

We're stuck with existing nuke plants...just like we're stuck with the radioactive spent fuel sitting in ponds all over the country.

But that is NOT a viable option going forward

Um...no...

I didn't say thats how it works.
I said thats what needs to be done.

You need to take some English classes, since you obviously don't understand it.

It is VERY viable. Just need to remove the stupid fucking restrictions on reprocessing and then build small, strategic power reactors of 1mw or less. Build a few dozen of them and you could energize the entire country and the savings in environmental impact alone would pay for it.

Whole new designs that reduce or eliminate that.

Sorry...no reprocessing plant in my neighborhood. Yours?

If this is even true, something I question.... They could drill into the core and inject some liquid molybdenum or graphene into it. Both are solid neutron inhibiting elements that would act as an inhibitor on the fusion reaction.

In working reactors, they call it a SCRAM. Only that uses rods, not a liquid.

Who says it has to be in anyone's backyard? There are very safe means of transportation for fuel rods. One just has to tune out the morons and idiots who scream it is unsafe. Because it is not.
