I learned about radioactivity from coal plants back in 1982. I was serving onboard a nuclear aircraft carrier and one of the instruments that I had to check hourly was called the APD, or Airborne Particulate Detector. This was almost a gag since it always read zero, even though it was positioned between two nuclear power plants. This was true until we approached Naples, Italy -- at which point the APD readout started to climb. It didn't get very high, but it was noticeably elevated compared to normal operation. It turned out that it always did this when approaching Naples because they burned coal and there was a fairly stable inversion layer in that area which kept the pollutants in place. This would be similar to Los Angeles and smog. Anyhow, I found it amusing that naval nuclear power produced far less radiation that coal.

Retired Rad Tech here. In Canada we use dirt burners CANDU reactors. Our longest running after 35 years still had not had to find a place for waste off of the property. Our outage time is much less then other styles meaning we have less down town and loss of production.

I was in the US Navy for six years as part of the submarine force. I spent months at a time no more than a few hundred feet away from a nuclear reactor and experienced less radiation than if I had been spending my days outdoors. Probably some of the safest reactors in the world on those subs.

Interesting fact; when I worked at a refuse to fuel power plant AKA municipal waste processed to burn. we had incoming radiation detectors run on all the material that came into the site. With the two most common alarms being from either adult diapers from retirement communities or hospitals contaminated with medical isotopes or large shipments of expired bananas.😅

The reason why Fokushima made Germany rethink its stance on Nuclear again is not it voulnerability to Tsunami's, but the fact that an obvious error was made in the safety system on a Western Reactor. One major excuse given for Chenopbyl was that it was a soviet reactor operated by the soviet union, the presence of the accident in Japan demonstrated that a Western nation that Germany thinks very highly of. Was capable of making these kinds of mistakes, and thus Germany concluded that it isn't impossible to have made a similar mistake that we simply don't know of.

Nuclear industry: Oh no, we accidentaly killed a couple hundred to a couple thousand people in our entire history! Fossil fuels: Hold my beer for the next 30 minutes or so

I'm a big fan of Sabine. She presents clearly, respects her viewers and always offers valuable information. Her sense of humor just makes her that much better. Not to be a flatterer, but I see those traits in you.

[adamkerin]

Your reviews of other review videos like this are brilliant. Catching up on yr channel now that I have come across it. Man we need so many more out there like you and this channel.

Sabine mixed her units she did say 20 feet tall ... but the captions did say 20 meters ... I live near Australia's only nuclear reactor ... it saves thousands of people's lives every year through nuclear medicine.

when chimneys first became popular, they caused all sorts of fires because people didn't understand how to take care of them. we didn't stop starting fires; we learned how to construct and maintain chimneys that worked so as not to cause (uncontrolled) fires.
instead of running away from nuclear, we should be moving forward with improved designs.

Two brilliant videos combined into one, thanks for making this!

[jimcabezola]

Ah! Elina Charatsidou and Sabine Hossenfelder…united to inform the world about nuclear power! Excellent! I’ve been subscribed to you both since a long time and enjoy watching all of your videos!

[kakarikiIck]

Sabine got a friendly nuclear physicist seal of approval. Well deserved. I’ve been subbed to Sabine’s channel and yourselves for a while now. Good reaction video.

I have to say not only hydro is reliable, but it also is a form of storage, one of the most efficient ones we have in fact. It cannot be bunched with wind and solar on that front.

[dreadpirate]

I love how you explain things clearly and easy to understand. You don't make me feel dumb about the subject like I sometimes do in other subjects I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Take care. 🙂

Hey there, Elina.
During my uni days, we used to work summers in our Swedish nuclear plants. Mostly maintenance inside the plants, but not inside active areas. I remember the environment inside the building always had lower background radiation than outdoors.

Watch Sabine's stuff with caution. She's branched out from physics into fields like medicine and economics, and these videos have been panned by actual professionals in those fields.

[connecticutaggie]

Sabine is a great communicator. All the videos I have watched are very well researched, are balanced/objective, and she is very good at communicating them. I find myself wanting to hear what she says, especially on subjects where she is challenging my (or the popular) view. She does a such a great job teaching me without pissing me off - an art that so few people seem to value any more.

Nuclear power is safer than _residential solar!_ Apparently, climbing roofs is dangerous.

Very nice video!
As a German I'm still very frustrated about our decision to leave nuclear energy (Sadly our last power plants closed a few weeks ago :( )
Also sadly the public sentiment here is still very very much anti nuclear, even all the new climate activists groups are anti nuclear, which frustrates me even more. I'm extremley pro Co2 neutrality, but how on earth should we manage to do that without nuclear energy? Why are there so few reasonable activists, who are not delsuioned by anti nuclear idealogy....
Now it's impossible for Germany to reach their CO2 neutarality goals in the furture, instead we actually have to expand our brown coal open mining pits, which are destroying vast parts of our landscape and emit tons of CO2....
Therfore thank you for the video, it may help at least a bit to educate some people, who aren't completley closed off by ideology
