Refueling a Nuclear Reactor – Smarter Every Day 311
Destin takes us inside TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how massive reactor cores get swapped out without ever powering down the whole system. He walks through the precision choreography of cranes, lead-lined casks, and safety checks that let engineers remove old uranium assemblies and replace them with fresh fuel—all while the reactor keeps humming.
Along the way, he gives a shout-out to AnyDesk, plugs his Patreon, newsletter, and social channels, and shares links to TVA and Wikipedia articles for anyone who wants to dive deeper into the nuts and bolts of nuclear power.
