Refueling a Nuclear Reactor – Smarter Every Day 311

Destin takes you inside TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to show exactly how a reactor is refueled—from the heavy lifting of fuel assemblies to all the critical safety checks that keep everything under control. You’ll get up-close footage of the core, clear explanations of what’s happening and why it matters, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most fascinating processes in power generation.

Along the way he’s backed by AnyDesk (give it a try free!), shares extra resources (TVA info, Wikipedia deep dives) and invites fans to support the show on Patreon for bonus content, stickers and early updates. It’s science, engineering and a little bit of nuclear drama—Destin style.
