Refueling a NUCLEAR REACTOR – Smarter Every Day 311

In this episode, Destin takes us behind the scenes at TVA’s Browns Ferry nuclear plant to see how they swap out spent fuel rods, manage safety protocols, and keep a reactor humming. Along the way, he breaks down the huge machines, the precision choreography of the crew, and why refueling matters for clean energy.
