1. Radioactive waste is a continual problem. there are storage locations all over the world where waste is stored in water pools, because they have no other place to put them. The sheer bulk of low-level radioactive waste is a problem in itself because all the hollowed-out mountain plans are only to address high level waste issues, and even then it requires secondary processing before disposal.

2. I don’t see how this lets me upgrade my units on Halo Wars…

3. @YousefsPie I agree and yet disagree. Chernobyl and TMI were horrid events and can scare people but in the end, no matter the risks or scares, one can not easily disagree that nuclear is 100x safer than crude oil or coal. In my mind it is the lesser of all evils. Albiet Nuclear causes huge damage when it goes critical the effects which are devistating are limited whereas coal and oil when spilt and discharged can last in perpetuity.

4. Nuclear power plants are actually more safer then what normal power plants are doing. And everyone knows this. It’s just no one wants to take the risk and I completely agree. After chernobyl I think it would be too much of a risk indeed.

5. Would it will be crazy if they invent a “gym power plant” hahahh they use bycicles

6. @ratsdp No. The design of Chernobyls Nuclear Reactor was NOTHING like this one. It had no collection domes, it had failsafe devices, but they were turned off. It also had bad design in the control rods, tipped in graphite, btw, which were in themselves highly racioactive, and spiked the energy in to the thousands of watts times a thousands of watts area. The RBMK reactors design was flawed, and was doomed to fail from the beginning. So was the first Sodium reactor. Poor designs= BOOM

7. Chernobyl?

8. we have the worst people who don’t want to have a new nuclear powerplant

9. @MasterSmitty “Electricity is the flow of electric charge, whether it be positive or negative. ie its not only electrons”
   I think you need to go back to eighth grade science there buddy. First, to create the flow of electrons, which is electricity, you have to have both (+-) otherwise you wont have the flow. If you have isolated + ions, there is no flow. Once you introduce a conductor (air is known to conduct) and – ions, you get the flow of electrons through the conductor, which is ELECTRICITY.

10. @sherkin735 Oh and I would most definitely put a solar panel on my roof…but its expensive and wont provide all of my energy needs, and thats where I would prefer nuclear over any other power generation; Here are some reasons: We dont get that much wind here in east TN. Solar farms produce an unbelievable amount of ecological impact /kw hour than any other form of energy besides coal and oil. And finaly, I dont believe that east TN is a viable canidate for geothermal energy…am i missing any?

11. @sherkin735 Way more people are injured or die from oil production, and the coal industry. I’ve worked in the oil industry, and they really don’t care if you get hurt or not..just if you can work. The U.S. has yet to loose a single life in the nuclear industry that was not a slip/trip or fall in some office somewhere. And it provides 19% of our power.
    The extreme scrutiny that was put on the nuclear industry by people like you did it some good. Its really unbelievable how regulated it is.

12. Magic. Got it…

13. I invented a breakthrough source of energy, which contradicts the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which contradict the law of energy conservation. It will cost about $1200 to make a 6 kW generator in mass production. Value of the energy produced yearly about $5400. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

14. i saw this in my science class

15. @MasterSmitty He probably knows that smartass. Half the people watching this video would have no idea wtf hes talking about.

16. @jetx00ss but it is flawed? It is not the safest form of power generation, it’s stupid to say that nuclear power is. Are you telling me that you would rather have a nuclear power plant on the roof of your house rather than a solar panel? The injuries caused during construction have nothing to do with whether or not it is a safe form of energy. Any injuries occurring at that stage are just down to negligence or bad luck. It just doesn’t work to say nuclear power is safest.

17. @emancoy That and they were screwing around with the reactor, which didn’t help.

    I always use the nuclear fleet as an example, if these ships/subs can sail 24 hours a day, with a nuclear reactor running, sometimes in rough seas, why would we worry?

18. Electricity isnt only a flow of electrons u retard. Its only a flow of electrons in a metal u numchuck. Electricity is the flow of eletric charge, whether it be positve or negative. ie its not only electrons!!!

19. very simple explanation :p

20. I thought I would give everybody a little background about myself my family owns and operates one of the oldest environmental cleanup construction companies in the world. My father, amongst others, was one of the first to pioneer in this industry almost 40 years ago. I now work for one largest environmental cleanup companies in the world. I’ve been doing this for 12 years. We make more money cleaning up fossil fuels and fixing dams than anything we could do in the nuclear industry

21. @hackman16 Industry standards dictate that construction and operation decommission and demolition reclamation of a facility, nuclear or otherwise that its safety record spans the entire lifespan. Not just operation. This also includes worker health and public health by the numbers. Nuclear power is the safest form of power generation. Even if you include Chernobyl

22. @smeghead666 Yes but this country and the world cannot run on wind turbines. They cannot even run on wind turbines and solar power the amount of space that it would take up to support these options would be horrendous, let alone the amount of materials and resources that would be used to construct such an infrastructure of diesel fuel bill alone would be massive

23. @ScorchinBeats You can never forget Chernobyl, but we can never forget things like the Exxon Valdez the Gulf oil spill, the TDA site and the thousands of others caused by fossil fuel. There’s only a handful of the sites cause by nuclear power of three best examples are 3 mile Island Simi Valley and Chernobyl. The proliferation of radioactive contamination into the environment is far greater and fossil fuels than a nuclear generation

24. @HALO3KINGVIDEOS Chernobyl is not what fails if Chernobyl had been constructed properly and operated properly.It would have continued to generate power without incident. It was the Soviet Union that fail, just like other governments failing its people. When it comes to power, all you have to do is look at the

25. @HALO3KINGVIDEOS Exxon Valdez.The Gulf oil spill that TVA sate in Tennessee, and these are just a few that are relating to fossil fuels There’s literally thousands of examplesbut there’s only a handful relating to nuclear power in the three best are semi-Valley 3 mile Island and Chernobyl.I suggest look up the radiological disaster caused by fossil fuels
