Nuclear Engineer Explains how an RBMK Reactor Works in Less than 30 Seconds #nuclear

[anthony]

Soon as I heard RBMK I was like ooh Chernobyl it’s meltdown time

FWIW, it's not really "graphite tipped" so much as it is they had a graphite displacer that pulled into the reactor when the control rod pulled out. Gives the control rods more worth.

Ahhh Chernobyl RMBK-1000 brings tears to my eyes

[shamsmaster]

Did you just quote the courtroom scene?

[qdbsnlb]

I didnt undersand steam separator thing so water comes in send it to pumps send it to reactor for it to get boiled go back in steam separator but under the water, so does it just by pass the water or boil the water inside?

[guesty]

Why not just get a water boiler and a turbine so it can make electricity without the meltdowns or power surges
