I dont know how hot it gets in there but all I know is it gets very, very, very hot.

The temperature reached in a nuclear reactor is in the range of 570 degrees F / 300 degrees C.

that vapor will burn your nose hairs out

20 billion gallons of water at 570 is very hot to me lol

It's the same temperature regardless of how much water there is. Also, water boils at 220 degrees so in order to keep water as "water" and not steam at 570 degrees it would have to be under alot of pressure. The pressure or sudden release of pressure would probably take your hand off before it was burned by steam.

Where was this by the way? I've always wanted to visit a nuclear reactor. Do you know if they give tours? Man that would be cool...

I've toured Seabrook Station several times, but they stopped tours after 9/11

Don't know if they've started doing them again, but it was cool

I wonder why they push it so far over the temp needed for steam?

same designs, tech, and company who built this, built fukushima

Not sure if they give tours. I find the facility really fascinating though, cant help to stare at it whenever I drive by. I might call one day to check about a tour, it would blow my mind to be in the building.

i'm *thinking* they need extra high pressure to drive the turbines????

the turbines are the two smaller round things pointing up in the first picture. They must be probably 150 - 200 yards in diameter

amazing how they would use the same company for just about everyone. Next you are going to tell us airlines are mostly made up of planes designed by boeing...

how often do tsunamis happen in ohio again?

This is what I see from my balcony every fucking day.

And no ... I don't have three legs

ha, can you imagine how much grunt it takes just to get one of those turning? dang.

+ to add to the thread,
under pressure water boils at something other than 100c. so they need the high pressure to turn the turbines, they need the different temp to keep the boiling point of h2o under pressure.

Wait for 2nd or 3rd generations in your town

Ok, since I slept 30 ft from a reactor, I'll fill you guys in on how they work.

The primary water is pressurized to keep it from boiling or creating stream. Then using heat transference, think a radiator on your car, it heats the secondary water which expands into steam. It's the heat expansion that turns the generators/turbines.

The power source on a nuclear submarine is the size of a baseball and can power it for about 10 years.
The USS Ronald Reagan Carrier has two reactors. One is enough to power all on board ships needs, the second can be used to power a small city like it did in the Philippines after they had a really bad hurricane.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
