I Explored MORE OF the World's First Nuclear Power Plant (and How It Works) Smarter Every Day 306B

[@SmarterEveryDay2]

For years I've wanted to do a series exploring Nuclear Power. IT'S TIME. I recorded this video about a year ago in the wilderness of Idaho at Idaho National Labs. I'm VERY EXCITED about this series, and I hope you are as well. For the first video, my goal was to understand the fundamentals of how a nuclear power plant works. I believe EBR-1 (Experimental Breeder Reactor - 1) is an amazing place to start. If you'd like to get an old-school email when I upload the next videos (I won't spam you) in the series here's a link to receive email updates: www.smartereveryday.com/email Thanks to everyone who supports on Patreon! If you'd like to consider supporting, here's the link: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday Thank you! I'm grateful for your time and that you're willing to learn this stuff with me!

I Love your content and appreciate everything you do for your community but I must ask if the email list is something you keep secured or something you share with third parties? I wish to sign up but do not want my info being sold to other parties

Andrew is a rock star! His love of history mixed with the way that history tickles his inner nerd is very entertaining. You can tell that he loves his job and does his very best to educate himself as much as possible to improve the visitors experience!

[@louiskchan]

Andrew's delivery is so good.

[@Dominik_G]

Can't just leave me with a tease to nuclear plane plans on the main video. Also more Andrew. One amazing dude I gotta say!

[@dominicmurar8427]

Thank you Destin for making me Smarter Every Day

[@mattgayda2840]

I love hearing about design mistakes that make it past hundreds of people. My local hospital was built 15 years ago without a morgue, they only realized it in the final few months of construction when some senior staff got a walk through. They also had to move the sinks because they put them on the exterior walls instead of right inside the doors making it difficult and disrupt the natural work flow of washing your hands entering or exiting patients rooms.

[@RichardBaran]

It's so awesome they knew this would be a piece of history that would be shown for decades and decades

[@burnte]

Thank you, Andrew!!

[@jobobminer8843]

Me: That first video was good but I think I need mor... Smart Every Day: Your not going to believe this but

[@duffy3267]

Loving this Destin. came from main channel video directly to this one. 75 min of good stuff

[@coltonharris5340]

Very awesome stuff it’s interesting following NDQ and catching little hints about your future videos and projects.

[@xxacidmv]

Heh, I got this notification BEFORE the main channel vid

[@H4zuZazu]

My guess would be at that "mystery part" at the diesel generator, is a boiler to keep the NAK liquid during longer off times, or maybe just to heat the Bulding.

[@JordanLeigh]

Your newsletter remains one of my favorite recurring notifications in my inbox.

[@krzysztofmazurkiewicz5270]

Popcorn - check, drinks - check. Lets go with part 2 ;)

[@jeroen5838]

Destin, can I ask you to investigate if a camera stabilizer is something you can use on the walk around shoots? These videos are super interesting, but I kind of can’t watch very much of it at the time without getting motion sickness with these wide lenses.

[@VnazT]

Let’s go! This is awesome!

[@RichardBaran]

This is so cool!

[@joelbosshoss9029]

Another excellent video.

[@ynoT_46]

I worked at the first privately owned nuclear power plant, Dresden, in northern IL for 16 years. I saw and experienced some very interesting and weird stuff in those years. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@DinGuSco]

Loved the video! Andrew is a very cool guy, wishing him luck in his career 👍

[@OkGotIt2000]

fan of Smarter Every Day

[@RKroese]

You say: Smarter Every Day. Andrew: "Haha, doubtful. You cannot go 'higher' than space." 😏

[@JanLawicki]

Andrew is soooo cool dude, wow!

[@danielherrera6373]

Smarter every day rocks

[@CraigIsakson]

Andrew is awesome!

[@dominicambrosino1712]

Absolutely amazing content as always keeps the mind stimulated always!!

[@ndlsjk]

My vote is that the "rotary burner" is a rotary kiln burner that is used for ore processing and in the production of cement. They can have multiple fuel sources, gas, liquid or solid. Just my guess after some googling tho.

[@rivalrepairs]

Andrew is a cool guy!

[@user-jg6bd7se8u]

You are an S teir human. I love your channels! ❤❤❤

[@physetermacrocephalus2209]

This will always be cool. Highly efficient energy is cool.

[@langwaydpful]

This channel should be called "smarter every day, also"or "smarter every day too"

[@langwaydpful]

Woohoo! New Destin!

[@cirelancaster]

Really hoping we get an episode on Rickover for No Dumb Questions now.

[@georgeinky]

Awesome

[@MarkForbus-q8p]

Read Richard Feynman biography. Nuclear aircraft was his suggestion. Once had a plastic aircraft model of one. Just not practical. Electricity and nuclear powered ships seem to be most logical choices for peaceful uses of nuclear energy. There must be more I don't know about.

[@RichardBaran]

Good luck with your PhD!

[@PaulLoveless-Cincinnati]

So if the reactor was used to add heat to the jet engine does that mean it still needed jet fuel to combust and produce thrust? Instead of spark plugs it had a nuclear reactor? What am I missing?

[@jabaririchards3522]

You could see the fear for a few seconds.

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

Hello!🖐

[@RKroese]

Andrew seems like a nice guy, but I wish he wouldn't say: "uhh.. uhhh..." so much. 😂

[@xlea4497]

wow im early

[@lHlEIDLEBAUGH]

FIRST!

[@pound4poundmikebrown]

Everyone out there know that you deserve to be loved and are worthy

[@LenaTuckerer]

My boyfriend laughed so loud that the neighbors came to see what happened. Now they are watching this video too😛
