In class I was taught that CANDUs (and I assume other types of plant) have 5 barriers between fission products and the public: 1. The fuel pellet structure (is surprisingly good at keeping gaseous fission products contained as long as it doesn't melt) 2. The fuel bundle 3. The primary heat transport loop's pressure boundary 4. The containment structure 5. The exclusion zone So if the fuel sheath is on fire you have 3 of those remaining. You're fine

rndmnmbr posted:The downside to zirconium cladding is, when it gets too hot, it will aggressively strip the oxygen out of water and leave lots of diatomic hydrogen behind to blow up an already overstressed reactor. Then you get exclusion zones, unintentional wildlife preserves, maps labeled 'here there be dragons', etc. Worst parts the hipsters that show up 30 years later.

Those mugs are classic "look cool, not enough coffee, and will tip the gently caress over" shapes.

Get a flight rated Space Coffee cup! It's only $ 499.95 https://spaceware.co/products/flight-space-cup quote:A real Flight Certified Space Coffee Cup. What does that mean? Well, it means that this is the original shape, material, and specifications that have been approved by NASA for flight aboard the International Space Station.

oohhboy posted:Get a flight rated Space Coffee cup! It's only $ 499.95 There's no obvious way to /drink/ from that aboard the ISS, so what would they use it for? Is it just a shape of some other component that was approved for use aboard the ISS, and the guys at Spaceware decided, "Hey, lets slap a handle and a stand on it and sell it for $500?" Edit: Huh, I stand corrected, the shape was used for the Capillary Beverage Experiment And there's video of prototypes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk7LcugO3zg maltesh has a new favorite as of 09:54 on Oct 12, 2019 |

Vando posted:Or it's an air cooled reactor Well yeah there's that possibility, but the prior post was referring to CANDU (and light-water BWR/PWR) which use water as both a neutron moderator and to convey a lot of heat to turbines for generating electricity. If one of those reactors is full of air without a full core offload, it's bound to be a rather exciting time. If you've intentionally built an air-cooled reactor outside of a physics lab then you've got government backing and/or you're so criminally wealthy that "consequences" do not apply; either of which means you can irradiate the landscape/populace as much as you like. silentsnack has a new favorite as of 23:03 on Oct 12, 2019 |

They came out with a bigger mug but for the first year in service they kept having battery fires so we just buy the older, smaller mugs secondhand.
