3:09 Sodium is also 100 times better at transferring heat than water - this means that in an 3:13 emergency where the plant’s electricity is shut off, the liquid sodium can passively 3:18 cool down the reactor and prevent a meltdown without any operator intervention. Wow! Very impressive of sodium to be 100 times better at transferring heat than water!

What can I say: Canada knows how to do nuclear!

Na!! Let it go & everyone will glow in the dark in a few years!!

Don't you also have to be a socialist who does not respect individual rights and free speech?

British Columbia will NEVER need nuclear power

According to James Hansen and Columbia University nuclear power has saved the lives of 1.8 million people because of the displacement of coal fired power plants and cleaner air

CANADA is the future!!

4,347,770 views Aug 29, 2018 The United States produces 2,200 tons of nuclear waste each year…and no one knows what to do with it. The federal government has long promised, but never delivered, a safe place for nuclear power plants to store their spent fuel. This means that radioactive waste is piling up all over the country. We visited one of the worst places where the waste is stuck: a beachside power plant uncomfortably close to both San Diego and Los Angeles. And we asked the people in charge of the waste there: what happens now?

Great! +Thorium. Green parties all of a sudden are concerned about the costs.

Maybe 1/4 of the energy from LWRs comes from Pu. The "waste" have most energy left. But is full with neutron eaters stopping the fission. The solid core reactors like LWR have problems with safety , efficiency and waste. Reactor grade is NOT weapons grade. Tthe Soviets wasted many years to understand in spite having a efficient spy networks.

Nuclear DIESEL engine....

I kind of wish they sold this in the United States

This sounds like a version of the IFR (which was, by the way, developed in large part by Dr. Charles Till--a Canadian).

No Name Beer should on that list. I also love the sour cream and perogies.

great video!

The long lived radioactive waste is solvable in a way that does need a disposal system for hundreds of thousands of years. The waste that is highly radioactive is only that radioactive for five hundred years approximately until it decays to the point of normal background radiation. The long lived part of the waste is usually plutonium and unused uranium which can be used as a fuel source for reactors. These materials can be chemically separated from the waste thereby removing the need for long term disposal of radioactive waste. The highly radioactive waste products can be stored for hundreds of years or there may be uses for them now or in the future and the plutonium and unused uranium can be reprocessed into more fuel. I have been studying the material by Kirk Sorensen. He is a proponent for Molten Salt Reactors. Which use a chemical process to remove waste from the reactor salts. This process is probably useful for the radioactive waste of other reactors as well.

I love chair: for sitting

More and more nuclear moonshine. Cruise missile + nuclear reactor = radioactive exclusion zone. Period.

I'm thinking that a synthesis would be the best strategy. Use Dad's strategy for the second one, but Professor's for the rest.

We would have been in much better shape if we knew he was a pee do. Enough of the Trudeauing. This guys a Wacko!

You should do an update

Bill C-21

SMR's are the future under the Conservative government.

This is dangerous for the people it’s the danger of exploding it’s not safe it my cause harm to the reactor and its serounding from 5klm to 10 depending on the Liquid Metal used in

Dont like the notwithstanding clause? Blame the premiers.

did we just play rust together

Two generations of destroying Canada. Perfect

As a Canadian I can say this even in 2024 my house is full of no name products

Informative video. Since the majority of the viewers of this video are watching solely out of curiosity, it would have been wise for Clinch River to put out such a video on the LMFBR. It would have calmed many people's fears and perhaps even sway the public towards the need of a clean burning power source.

Used fuel is worth more than new

They took my idea. Mine is much more simple.

This is where in the road way charging as you drive down the road is great. All forms of generation of electricity can be used to feed the electric road charging as you roll down the road. This changes all energy in to a standard power that can be used in most appreciations , not perfect but their is not a perfect way to use energy but electricity is easily moved around the country more and more and quite safely.

I want to visit a whole building of just no-name products. These are hilarious

All of this contamination to make weapons! Its nuclear madness.

In Back to The Fugure III Dr Brow builted another timemachine, since Delorean time machine was destroyed. He builted in steam engine locomotive and said it worked on steam. Maybe he used steam to move pistons to compress elements and create a fusion reaction. The Dolorean had a device caled Mr Fusion, after be upgraded with fusion technology of the future.

I have no doubt our nuclear technology is great, probably the best in the world. Too bad our government screws over anyone with initiative / entrepreneurial spirit. Anyone with any talent winds up going elsewhere usually to the USA.

A deep geological repository is totally ridiculous. When 96% of the energy is still resident in the fuel, the waste turns out to not be waste in a molten salt reactor which can use the other 96% of the energy stored in the waste. Instead of your fancy expensive brx 300 jobbie, for 1/2 the cost use the fuel in the waste to generate safe clean energy even safer than your stupid expensive brx 300 thingy. Yes for small modular reactors, no on solid fuel in fuel rods. Yes on molten salt.

It’s not widely known that there were numerous meltdowns and related disasters at very early research reactors. There is a learning curve in every endeavor of science and nuclear energy is a major endeavor. Some of these disasters occurring in Soviet Russia were not revealed for many years, as a result of the Soviet decision to keep them secret from their own citizens, even the ones who were endangered. Much the same occurred in the USA, wherever they could manage to maintain secrecy. It was a dangerous and dirty business. It does not need to ever be that way again.

Canada is best that is why I live here in Canada

Why burry the stuff. Still 95% of the energy is in current used nuclear fue. Why not use this fuel in molten salt reactors and power the whole country with this stuff.

What about Elysium Industries fast reactor?

Is the beer good?

I literally live right where the first pump was. Deer run thru their on the Fairbank property its beautiful

Douglas point was the first plant

Canada does not elect their Senators because Politics in Canada is foolish and corrupt, period ! House of Sober Second Thought my ass Look at the Draconian DUI law that passed this group of fools

No it was in Stratford CT in 1950s at AFP43. The NAZI controlled Air Force took over the plant from the Army Corps after the meltdown. They were working on Kennedys Nautilus and atomic plane. Look up the Havens Lab

Why were Units 2 & 3 of Pickering 'A' not restarted? Those units were in much better condition than Units 1 & 2.

Uhhhh… plutonium 239 decays into uranium 235. Is the process essentially converting uranium 238 into fissionable products (U 235 and Pu 239), with fissionable being a very important attribute, such as utility in nuclear weapons? Maybe the Content title should be “the Canadian reactors that can turn nuclear waste into weapons grade products”

U cant replace deiszel add on synthetic oil
