The reactor is shutting down fast.

At the Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant, all the reactors stopped just after the quake.

To the reactor?

They shut down the reactors.

Reactor bay.

If you had to pick eight hours to make sure that the pumps were still working, those first eight hours were the most important time.

LFTR is a molten salt reactor. All LFTRs are molten salt reactors but not all molten salt reactors are LFTRs.

Then what happens to the waste?

The reactor is close.

And what about the nuc nucular reactor in Florida?

They don't have to use water for coolant and there's nothing in the reactor that's going to make a big change in density.

And this is what it is.

Reactor, that's right.

Ship. I'm on my way to the reactor.

Why would you want to go to the reactor?

One, it doesn't operate at high pressure.

We haven't even started the American stockpile.

Seems a snail fell into a French nuclear reactor.

The traveling wave reactor is another form of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor.

I have some good friends in nuclear industry. They are very big advocates of the fast breeder reactor.

So what they call Coulomb Barrier is reduced.

But the weight is different.

So I'm really excited.

And number two, do not build a reformer on the ocean.

These are the reactors, very simple, you can see.

This is what drives the design of this building. If this happens, all the steam is captured in this building.

This is the shape of Tokamak, a torus reactor.

And that something we make might decay quickly. And if it was really absorptive and it decayed quickly, the reactor would do... this!

This has a distinction of being the newest nuclear reactor in the United States. This came online in 1996.

That decay heat continued to build.

How long do you think that reactor has been sitting there, huh?

stopped

stop

Stopped

Stop

Stop.

Stop!

Stop.

Clear!

Reactor timing is offset in the core.

But I know everything there is to know about that damn reactor.

What's your plan?

Gunderson. He has over 40 years of nuclear power engineering experience. And Arnie holds a nuclear safety patent.

Heat was not being removed from the reactor.

Is it safe as it sounds what's preventing North American governments from actually creating the reactor?
