The funny thing is that you speak even faster in your real life hahah

[fevzican]

Can you make a video about different reactor types?

[Physics_Geek]

When beauty of Physics meets the beautiful, cuteness emerges out. You are so 🥰.

[RobinDeCraecker]

You have a real talent for explaining things thanks for all your videos i am learning alot from them.

"Uranium fever has done and got me down
Uranium fever, it's spreadin' all around..."

This is your friendly reminder for the next Fallout 4 video to turn on Diamond City Radio in your Pip Boy. Trust me, it makes travelling the wasteland that much better. 😉

[SpareSomeChange]

Could you do a video on nuclear waste?
Would love to know why Corium, or "the Elephants foot" in Chernobyl is so dangerous, when surely this same waste is dealt with all the time?

[shaundurant]

Thanks for the science lesson. Always nice to hear from the pro's.

Controlled reaction in very specific elementary material that releases great amounts of energy. -- this is really generic, so it could be used for fission and fusion

[stuff]

It’s my dream to become a nuclear physicist but I feel like I’m just not smart enough

[JV-unqw]

then you need controll rods to grab excess neutrons from the area to keep chain reaction in check

[zandernewson]

I heard about fission and fusion. Could you do one on fusion?

[LooseNut]

Your command of the subject matter is admirable. Could you make a video explaining the pros and cons of different SMR technologies? Many thanks.

[kayakMike]

Please do a review of Kevin Sorenson LFTR proposals!!!

I know you know more than me, but isn't this actually a bit of an over-simplification? You're describing the process of nuclear fission for uranium that is prompt critical (when the neutrons from fission are the neutron source of other fission reactions). Instead, nuclear power reactors, ideally, should be delayed critical, where the atoms which are the products of the initial fission reaction release their own neutrons (either from decomposition or from undergoing fission themselves) and the neutrons from these secondary nuclear reactions crash into uranium causing more fission. The process you're describing is more typical of nuclear bombs and nuclear reactor incidents than nuclear reactors under normal operation. Sorry if this seems overly critical. I guess I'm just saying I wish you'd used the other half of the minute to explain this. Just discovered your channel and love the content I've seen so far!

[clytle]

I think I understand the difference between critical and prompt critical, but I recently ran across a term "prompt neutron" could you explain this?

[michaelkuhn]

What a GORGEOUS scientist. Love your eyes

[OneAndOnlyMe]

Question (probably a silly one), what happens when all of the Uranium atoms have been split?

[kaymish]

So neutrons are just dirty little homewreckers? "Nice little family you have here U235 it would be terrible if I broke you up" and then all the daughter neutrons go on to be home wreckers too.

Sorry I just couldn't resist the break up joke.

[RanaBilal-pypv]

What's the diff between control and uncontrollable fission?
