In reply to the discussion: Russia Unveils Detailed Plans To Build 21 New Nuclear Power Units By 2030 [View all]PamW
(1,825 posts)56. The punchline...
The punchline is that the doctor has to work on his subject; while it is still functioning.
However, that doesn't mean we can't trust nuclear power.
There's no reason that engineers have to work on the nuclear power plant while it is still running.
Shutdown the plant to work on it; and let another nuclear plant do the job.
There's nothing "unsafe" about that.
HECK - you cars and airliners are worked on while you are not driving in them or flying in them.
You consider those safe.
Hence, the last sentence above is 100% WRONG; just like the rest of the flotsam in the above posts.

Nope... I'm not saying that. Nor most of the rest of your imagined statements.

And how does the fluid in the primary cooling circuit move through that circuit?
