Emil Jacobs - Collectifission"Nuclear physics and simulation of some of the most infamous nuclear accidents: Fukushima and Three Mile Island. In this video, we’ll dive into the physics of nuclear reactors and simulate various reactor behaviors, including neutron moderation, control rod functionality, and decay heat management. Discover why these accidents happened, despite both reactors having passive safety features meant to prevent meltdowns.
We'll break down complex concepts like uranium fission, neutron moderation with light vs. heavy water, and the role of decay heat that makes cooling essential even after a reactor shutdown. Through this simulation, you'll gain a clear understanding of what went wrong and why the outcome was so different from other reactor types, such as Chernobyl’s RBMK design.
Perfect for anyone interested in nuclear physics or reactor safety! Watch to see how the smallest details in design and response can prevent—or lead to—nuclear disaster."
