Refueling a Nuclear Reactor with Smarter Every Day

Destin takes us inside TVA’s Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to witness the once-every-18-months ritual of swapping out fuel bundles deep in the reactor core. From the massive underwater cask lifter to the precision choreography of plant operators, you’ll get a front-row seat to the nuts and bolts (and uranium rods) that keep those fission reactions humming safely.

Along the way, Destin gives a shout-out to AnyDesk, plugs his Patreon for extra behind-the-scenes action, and drops handy links if you want to dive deeper into TVA’s operations, the history of Browns Ferry, or just geek out on nuclear power.
