Refueling a Nuclear Reactor – Smarter Every Day #311
Destin takes us behind the scenes at TVA’s Browns Ferry nuclear plant to show exactly how they swap out spent fuel rods. You’ll see the step-by-step dance of shutting down, opening the reactor vessel, using a remote crane to lift fuel assemblies, sliding new ones back in, and all the radiation-proof protocols that make it safe.
