Refueling a Nuclear Reactor: Smarter Every Day 311

Destin takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of TVA’s Browns Ferry nuclear plant to show exactly how engineers swap out spent fuel rods, handle massive cranes, and keep everything safe and precise. It’s a hands-on, in-depth look at the brainy, heavy-duty process that keeps a reactor humming.

Along the way, you’ll find links for more details—TVA’s official site, Wikipedia, and a deep-dive article—plus Destin’s usual shout-outs for AnyDesk, Patreon, stickers, social media, and music credits by Gordon McGladdery.
