  Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can’t do?

    be easily compressed

      Amazing work.

      Depends on the amount of compression and relative temperature. Near freezing, ice is compressible. Because the increased pressure causes the freezing point to rise, which causes it to melt. And liquid water takes up less space than ice.

      It can also decide what can and cannot breathe in it

    Be in one fraction at once. H2O consist of differerent quantum-mechanical portions: para-water and ortho-water.

    And it only gets weirder.

    No. Don’t google para-hydrogen. You will break your brain.

    If you reverse a magnet it makes water more west

      I do hate it when my magnets develop a West pole.

      Are you sure it’s not more north?

        West by counterclockwise up actually

  this is how 238Pu ceramic pellets for space probe generators look like, no fission required just alpha decay. If it was fission, it wouldn’t need to glow like this entire time because you can just turn it off

    Well, either you can turn it off or you’re about a microsecond away from being vaporized.

  Doesn’t this contaminate the water?

  source

  • expatriado@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    my comment is oversimplified and partly joke, but nuclear power plants use mostly uranium fuel pellets, which are inserted in metal fuel rods and these into another metal container called fuel assemblies, before the are inserted into the water pool, so fual and water dont touch each other, and the vapor cycle is a closed system

    • oxideseven@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It also only would contaminate the things in water and not the water itself.

      • BussyCat@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Well it can activate water itself and make F-18, H-3, and N-17 from just H20

    From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.

      In a pressurized water reactor, yes. In boiling water reactor, steam is formed in the reactor vessel and is sent directly to the turbines. While in operation, the turbine area is too radioactive for human presence. Fortunately, the radioactive byproducts carried in the steam are all very short lived, so it only takes a few minutes cool off.
