Hi Pete & Chris, when visiting Kyoto 15 years ago me and my girlfriend were on a bus full of elderly women. Suddenly a wasp came through the window and all the women were freaking out, the women all looked at me as I was the only male in the bus and started handing me napkins and pointed at the wasp telling me to catch it. I was freaking out too but felt I had no choice but to bravely grab the wasp and toss it with all the napkins out of the window. Just a funny scary memory I'll never forget.

Not only did they mess up by not building the wall higher, they also should have stored the back-up gas generators further inland. When the tsunami waters flooded the grounds, the generators became useless instantly. I was an ALT in the area from 2010-2012. I'd love to share some stories about life in the area in the year before, the day of, and the year that followed. I haven't been back since I left. Most of the places I knew are in the exclusion zone, so there hasn't been much reason to return. I'm just disappointed that I never got to say good-bye to so many of the wonderful people that lived there.

The reason it's so hard to build robots that can remove the radioactive material is that the radiation basically fries the robot. To do it successfully you need radiation hardened circuitry, which is costly and very limited. And even then it can only handle so much radiation before it's toast.

​​@@ninjawithnobalance Actually not really! The gamma radiation from the damaged core won't really contaminate it, just damage the electronics. What you have to worry about when it comes to contamination like that are unstable nuclei that were produced by the fission reactions when the reactor was on or melting down, most of which should be solid and in that melted mess. Basically, they just have to very carefully make sure the robot doesn't have any dust on it; the robot itself won't now be radioactive so could be worked.

Once stayed with my partner's mother in Brittany, just before we bedded down for the night, she left us with the cheery observation "Oh, by the way, there's giant hornets flying about, one may come in your room, but don't worry, good night." The temperature in the room was about 30 degrees C, and we had no choice but to sleep with the window open. About 5am, I was woken by a loud buzzing at the window. I was instantly awake and sat up in terror, to see a single bumble bee fly into the room. One of the worst night's sleep of my life.

Good way of talking about nuclear energy. It wasn't really the earthquake to cause the damage but rather the tsunami. As someone said the Onagawa plant was even closer to the epicenter and was used as shelter. The topic of radiation is naive, true we don't see it, but we also don't see CO2 emissions or most pollution (unless it's at insanely high levels), but radiation is probably the one thing humanity can measure insanely precisely. It's good to rememeber that nuclear covers all points needed to fulfill the energy transition: low carbon energy, safe, reliable, can be built virtually anywhere, covers a small surface, and while it's true that it costs a lot at the start, not only are operating costs very low, but current reactors have 60 years lifespan. I'm glad both of you are pronuclear, afterall there's no reason to be against it when one looks at the data.

I'm currently teaching in a town that had a cyclist in the recent summer olympics, and it was the first time I've seen such an abundance of cyclist culture since I left Texas. Not just kids and teens making their commutes to schools and stations (to get to or from farther schools), or mama-cha's powered by elderly folks on their way to buy catfood... but real, honest-to-goodness, helmeted, spandex-clad middle-aged men on ultra-light, hyper-carbon/graphene/whatever bikes that cost as much as a kei-car... And they do NOT use the side-walks like the kiddos. Because they are "flying" along at 20 kph, they need to use the street (and I'm glad they don't try to share that space with the kids and elderly). It's not so bad when they're doing it on side roads with sparse enough traffic to only wait a minute for a chance to pass them. But they seem to favor the main road through town, which is exactly as hilly as the side roads here. The only difference is traffic. I'm thinking it's just a flex, but who knows?

The problem with windmills is that it's very location specific and it has the same issue as solar where there needs to be infrastructure built to store all the excess energy for later use. Unfortunately, the current lithium based battery tech is expensive and potentially dangerous(think tesla car fire x1000000 if we're talking about a battery bank that stores power for a city). There are safer, but less efficient thermal based battery options which are still developing, but no one is willing to make that that investment.

We'll probably need some nuclear fission to supplement renewables at least until such a point that we can figure out feasible space-based solar panels, but those are pretty far off, and we'd possibly still want to keep a few as backups anyway. Consistent power is just too important to be at the mercy of the weather in most countries. Maybe someday we'll finally get fusion working and can just fully switch over to that instead. Until then, we just have to settle for fission with the hope that it's properly regulated with regard to safety. It's very safe if done properly, but those profits aren't going to make themselves....

Hinkley C in the UK is nearly double the initial cost (**factoring in inflation**) and at least 6 years over due. and to quote the IEA - 'Nuclear power faces a contrasted future despite its ability to produce emissions-free power. With large up-front costs, long lead times and an often-poor record of on-time delivery, nuclear power projects have trouble in some jurisdictions competing against faster-to-install alternatives, such as natural gas or modern renewables.' - the UK is a North Sea wind powerhouse.

Renewable energy has become both far more efficient and far less expensive over the years. As far as reliability, when the sun is shining, solar is always churning, when the wind is blowing, windmills are turning. For times when the sun isn't out and the wind isn't a great source, planning ahead and building battery storage for those times of lower power generation is essential and most technologies have that contingency built in. Nuclear energy is a form of energy that most people in the clean energy industry would suggest that we stay away from. The long term effects of safety and nuclear waste (which is the true byproduct of Nuclear energy) is extremely problematic. Is the juice worth the squeeze gentlemen?

Nuclear's problem isn't really safety, it's cost. Safety is used as a distraction. If the previous UK government hadn't banned onshore wind there'd already be more of it. Japan has decent solar (one of largest installed bases) but the problem is wind. With the lack of continental shelf it needs floating wind to develop and come down in cost so it can install offshore in its deeper water. With floating wind it'd have more than enough capacity for its needs.

The cost is an agenda pushed by the Green Party that has already been debunked. When the science was too bulletproof, people started saying "time and money commitment is too much" Nuclear power has evolved enough that a new plant can be created in the same amount of time and for only slightly more than a coal power plant, and the cost saving it creates pays for itself 10 times over in a few decades. Wind energy is one of the worst renewable energy sources. Giant metal things that cannot be recycled and just have to be dumped somewhere when they break or are replaced will cause even more of an ecological waste problem, much worse than any amount of nuclear waste. I highly recommend watching Kyle Hill's more recent "Cost of nuclear power" video that's probably 2ish months old now. It's very good, very insightful. Wind and Solar still rely on battery backups, we need to move away from energy sources that requires those
@CaptainKeeez

It's easy to rile people up with the safety thing, since nuclear power is very poorly understood by the public and all they know of are the few high-profile accidents. There is also the association with weapons, even though the reality is that a reactor cannot fail in a way that is comparable to one. It is much, much easier to get people to emotionally oppose something with a very low risk of major disasters that require human incompetence to happen at all than it is to get them to recognize a guaranteed but long-term threat like climate change or even regular old air pollution. Long-term risk and things based on statistics are very hard to get the public to understand or care about. I suspect a lot of the opposition at the government level isn't even due to cost, but rather for political support from people who don't understand the technology and associated risks. Well, that and being funded by the oil industry.

This is the major problem with nuclear. The fuel stays radioactive, and the more there is, i.e. if it all slags together, the more radioactive it gets, as more neutrons bombard more particles and release more radiation. So the robot is basically coming in to ever so slowly chip away at the slagged fuel to reduce its mass one tiny bit at a time. And it's gonna take a LONG ass time to reduce it enough, to say nothing of the fact that that robot is not gonna last forever.

This isn't accurate; what you are describing is supercriticality. Criticality is what is happening in a normally functioning reactor, where you have a moderator material to slow and reflect neutrons back into the fuel such that 1 atom splitting causes ~1 other atom to split, giving you a constant reaction. Supercriticality is the runaway reaction you describe, where you instead cause enough neutrons of the correct energy to remain in the fuel for 1 atom splitting to split >1 other atoms (this is a bomb). In corium (the slag in the damaged reactor), the control rods (neutron absorbers) have melted into the fuel, and it is now subcritical with essentially no ongoing fission. It is theoretically possible for a small piece of corium to briefly resume fission, but this would be rare and is unproven. The danger from the corium is "just" due to the normal radioactive decay heat from the remaining fuel combined with that from the gamma-emitting fission products from the meltdown. They are collecting samples to analyze for studies of the composition of the corium to better plan cleanup and understand the initial meltdown process, not chip away parts to stop a chain reaction. It will cool over time as more of the radioactive material decays, though half-lives can be very long.

@@TacComControl If you're interested enough in physics to know the main operating principle behind a nuclear weapon, why not take the time to learn a bit more about the topic and find out how reactors differ? The information is readily available online if you don't want to take my word for it.

Chernobyl definitely has a sad past too. If you want to see an extremely unique view of the place, the channel Shiey, has some insane trips there... All being sneaking in and staying for days at a time illegally 😅 but there really are no other videos like it.

I generally prefer milk and dark chocolate (especially dark chocolate) but for the sake flavor, the white works well. I've had them before and milk or dark would take away from the subtle sake flavor.

The problem is that said companies don't have to pay the clean up when they mess up. Privatize gains, socialize losses, a tale as old as capitalism.
