Refueling a Nuclear Reactor – Smarter Every Day 311

Destin takes us behind the fences of TVA’s Browns Ferry nuclear plant to show exactly how a reactor gets refueled: removing spent rods, carefully inserting fresh fuel assemblies, and running through all the safety checks that keep everything under control. It’s a rare, step-by-step look at the high-stakes, high-precision world of nuclear power.

Along the way, you’ll catch sponsor shout-outs (AnyDesk, Patreon, email sign-ups) and links for deeper reading on TVA’s operations and Destin’s social channels. If you love your brain getting stretched, this is one you’ll want to share (or even support on Patreon)!
