Refueling a Nuclear Reactor

Destin heads to TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at how a massive reactor gets refueled—think giant fuel assemblies, precision cranes and a whole lot of safety checks. He chats with experts, captures the intricate choreography of moving and replacing fuel rods, and breaks down the science in his signature curious style.

Along the way, he plugs AnyDesk (his go-to remote-access tool), shares Patreon and social links, and points you toward deeper dives on TVA’s website and Wikipedia for more nuclear know-how. It’s part demo, part adventure, and totally worth your time if you’ve ever wondered what refueling a reactor really looks like.
