Refueling a Nuclear Reactor – Smarter Every Day 311
Destin takes us inside TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to show the entire refueling process: how they use a crane to lift the reactor vessel head, swap out spent fuel assemblies underwater, store them in cooling pools and reload fresh fuel rods—all under strict radiation and safety controls.
Along the way he demystifies control rods, cooling systems and the steps that keep a reactor humming, and points to TVA’s site, Wikipedia, and his own social channels for more deep dives or to support the channel.
