I appreciate the new Snacks intro! Your video are great. Thanks!

I just want to say thank you so much for explaining how the reactor works. I’m writing a paper, and for some reason I chose to write about nuclear energy despite having no clue how it works. Looking at diagrams was helping slightly but I really wasn’t getting it, so I found this video and I can’t thank you enough

The whole setup is what's classified as thermo-cycle power generation: using fuel (nuclear, gas, coal, etc) to generate heat, then using that heat to boil water to make steam, and then using that steam to generate electricity, possibly in a combined-cycle in standard combustion systems. Most of our commercial power generation comes from this class of setup.

thanks saVRee

You are welcome.

This is cool as heck! I love this! You deserve way more views. I hope you'll get the fame you deserve one day! Keep this up!

[@savree-3d]

Thank you so much!

Thanks 😊

Welcome 😊

I've never seen IP turbine in any nuclear plant. The exhaust of the HP goes to the MSR moisture separator reheater and back to the LP turbines.

[@savree-3d]

You can see one here: www.ge.com/steam-power/products/steam-turbines/nuclear-arabelle They are not common, but they do exist.

french N4 1500MW and EPR 1650 use an IP turbine. fast 1500 project also used one.

I knew about reactors because of the pwr reactor, I randomly found a video of it while scrolling through tiktok.

0:01 economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very exciting and informative content on this content portal cheers Frank

[@animenmusic16]

Can you please explain the function of pressurizer in brief

[@johnberumen1666]

The pressurizer is used to maintain constant high pressure in the system to avoid the water from boiling during cooling and moderating of the reaction. Pressure is a function of fluids boiling point

How did you get the model?

[@ThePavlopp]

wow this is so f cking cool, omg i love it, thank you very much

[@savree-3d]

No problem!

[@SCOHEN250K]

This is a video about a "pressurized" water reactor and you don't think the pressurizer is important in a basic video?? Ok

[@WalterBurton]

Love the 8-bit tune, could do without the belch, personally. Hashtag constructive feedback.
