Nuclear Power Plant Safety Systems

This video explains the main safety systems of Canadian nuclear power plants. The systems perform three fundamental safety functions: controlling the reactor, cooling the fuel and containing radiation. All of these systems are maintained and inspected regularly, and upgraded when necessary, to ensure plants meet or exceed strict safety standards established by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC).

2:05 Not only is he a doctor, a teacher, a pizza delivery guy and a certified masseuse, he's also a nuclear power plant operator. What an inspirational guy!

My plan of the day was to study microeconomic behaviour but i ended up watching videos about safety systems in nuclear power plants on Youtube. Worth it.

how can I believe you if you don't have a AZ-5 button.

You would think that a Nuclear Reactor is super cool, and then you realize all that coolness is just used to boil water and run the turbine like any other regular power generator.

What did the CANDU engineer say to the RBMK engineer when he wanted help?




No CANDU

[marlo]

In case of emergency just start throwing spaghetti into the reactor until al dente.

Looking good, but what's that on the ground? Do I see graphite?

Canadian nuclear power plant YouTube channel has never ever so many visitors as now.... thanks HBO they say!

[rouge_grenade]

Thank you I will now implement these safety systems into my minecraft nuclear power plant

All the HBO Scientists Nuclear Experts in comments

Still responding to comments and clearing misconception after 7 yrs of uploading
Respect

A Nuclear Video: **Exists*
Comment section: "haha AZ-5 goes boom"

[Escanor-Sun]

What is the dosimeter say?"
"15, 000"
"Not great, not ter...hold up, that's terrible"

[Osirus]

The geese in the intro added a dope layer to that sick intro beat.

[buzz]

The video failed to mention that the plant's heat exchanger located underground was dug out by 400 naked Canadian coal miners

[glenmccarthy]

Australia should replace its aging coal fleet, with CANDU plants.Would be of benefit to both nations.

[katd]

Canada: Has knowledge on how to properly control nuclear reactor..





Chernobyl: *Hold my Uranium*

No matter how hard you try to demonstrate how safe this system is, you will never satisfy a certain loony fringe of the environmentalist movement.  No doubt they regularly vent their frustration right here on Youtube, to which they enjoy their uninterrupted videos as a result of a reliable and inexpensive power source.

Sadly, people see disasters like Chernobyl, and think all reactors are equally prone to similar fates. But the fact is that Chernobyl was an ancient Soviet era design that was terrible, because they wanted it as cheap as possible. So bad in fact, that it was practically a disaster waiting to happen. Modern designs, and in particular, the Candu design, have so many overlapping safety features, failure is almost impossible. Even concern over spent fuel is dumb. The fuel still have a huge amount of energy left. It's just cheaper right now to use new fuel instead of recycling the old. But some day the spent fuel will be like money in the bank, once it's cost efficient to recycle it.

Nuclear power requires a fraction of the resources of the alternatives nor does it need backup. Its the cleanest and lowest environmental impact method available capable of meeting our energy needs and its not even close.
