I work at a nuclear plant lol. The water acts as shielding to keep the radiation levels low. The round pool is the above the pot or core where the fuel bundles go. The surrounding pool can be used for storage for new fuel or a holding area for spent fuel. The over head crane is probably the fuel handling machine for transferring fuel bundles. The red cylinder is your airlock for entering/exiting the reactor building

3:47 fun fact, you *CAN* swim in a nuclear pool, just don’t touch the bottom. Besides that, it’s perfectly safe going for a swim!

The crane is used to remove and add spent fuel rods. Basically the things that make power. The control rods slow the nuclear reaction.

The level of work and detail that goes into these mods is genuinley incredible. It's always a pleasure to see it when modders make a game so much more than the original game.

I'm shocked you didn't hear about Fukushima as it's the only nuclear disaster to be ranked as worse as chernobyl and contaminated a whole province in Japan. It was after the powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900 at 9.0- 9.1 magnitude. and one of the largest tsunami measured at over 40.5 meters (133 ft) and heading 10 km (6 mi) inland. And according to Wikipedia, 19,747 deaths, 6,242 injured, 2,556 people missing.

Drae: They're just spikes everywhere. Me: Those are the nuclear rods.

"These conveniently placed orange squares" Shows us a circle. Love you Drae

The crane is for lowering the nuclear oil rods in to the main reactor

4:05 This crane is for pulling depled Uranium²³⁵ fuel Element rods out of the reactor and store them in the subside pool. And then refueling the reactor by putting new enriched fuel elements in.

I'm a small town fire fighter. The beeping you hear from the fire fighter npcs is called a PAS device. When the device can't recognize movement within 15 seconds it starts to go off which was the beeping. It was developed to help fire fighters find firemen who get trapped or injured during a call. Usually a simple shake of the airpack will silence the beep.

@3:21 The room you were in is the Decontamination chamber or decompression chamber. the use of this is when the reactor is in a off state @3:34 you are in the inner chamber of the reactor. this room is usually unaccusable or strongly warned or encouraged to stay out of during operation of a nuclear reactor without proper radiation equipment @3:41 the room looks like the cooling tanks. this is where spent uranium rods used in the nuclear reactor are placed to cool and be enclosed in special containment enclosures for further processing and or to spend the rest of their life or processed to be removed from the facility for storage @3:46 that pool you are looking at looks to be like the reenactment of the reactor pool (where the reactor is actually located) @3:52 That is the crane used to move spent rods from the reactor to the cooling pool mentioned @3:41 @4:57 the room you are in is the Reactor Containment Area @5:03 That is actually the internal working of the reactor. the spikes mentioned here are actually control rods. the control rods are used to mitigate uranium fission reaction (atom splitting) for which is a normal reaction of uranium to generate heat to which after generates steam for the turbines which would probably be in one of the other rooms that are empty. This area is usually off limits unless the reactor is being serviced due to the level of radiation in this area @5:18 that is the pooling area, I personally do not fully know what this is for, but would seem to be part of the outer housing of the reactor.

Is no one gonna mention Drae forgetting what a circle is? 10:26

lol, that spinner map looked so fun!

I like how he shot the hunting rifle and changed map as soon as it shot it was like one of those "perfectly cut screams* Edit:this reply got more likes than my videos :(

Hey Drae, I want you to know that you can go deeper under water with the flying mod This is like, in case you want to see what’s underneath, if you want

The sound you hear that sounded like a squeal is what fire fighters use to alert other fire fighters when they need help. If they stop moving from a pass out or entrapment it’ll go off

5:06 "I don't know anything about this!" *Manages to destroy Control Rods*

Never been in a nuclear plant before, but from what I remember in high school: the rods you encountered are the nuclear material themselves, and that tube you were in is flooded with water that is then heated into steam which drives the turbine to generate electricity. The pool you found is where the rods not in use are stored as water cuts down on radiation, hence why on an overcast day you are receiving the lowest UVA compared to direct sunlight onto your roof (yeah, the water vapor cuts down UVA radiation, unlike your roof which does basically nothing). I think it has to do with the Hydrogen atoms in the molecule? As I recall, metallic Hydrogen (Hydrogen in its solid state is a metal, yes!) is mostly opaque and blocks ultraviolet and most waves of infrared (heat) light while allowing most visible (non-damaging) light through while causing a slight hue change in the light to a type of… Magenta, was it? Yup! Pink! It’s why sunset is deep pink, as the sun rays are exciting the Hydrogen over the horizontal diameter of the globe from beyond the horizon, rather than Oxygen which reacts blue from a direct vertical (day time). All very exciting stuff, and come think of it… I studied this before high school… in 5th grade (2001?) because I was bored and it caught my interest. >.< Anyway, it’s possible half of what I know at least is out of date by now, heh. And Drae: you’re in walking dead phase… even before you shot the nuclear rods point blank inside the reaction chamber… Chernobyl Drae.0! xD

10:42 Drae: "I know what gonna happen" Drae 2 seconds later: "OUCH!" Love the teardown videos drae!

Never thought I'd hear Drea say "I hope you guys enjoyed some simple fun, playing with some acid"

Yes! More Teardown!

Yeaaah! More TearNG :)

Respect to the mod commuity for creating these incredible things and thanks for showcasing. ^^

"Oh wow, a pool!" Takes a dip in the coolant reserve

10:27 I don't remember squares looking like that

The Crain in the nuclear plant is to move nuclear rods in and out of those pools to help lessen the nuclear radiation

Its crazy you didn't hear much about Fukushima, or the 200 men that stayed behind to keep the factory from completely melting down until they could find a solution. And you can "technically" swim in the water where the rods go.

Drae's just casually swimming in a nuclear reactor's cooling reservoir.

I am loving these mods. Great video, I cannot wait for a the new video!

You can hear the pass devices chirping and whirring on the fire fighters. That's pretty detailed

Hey man, I’m actually a fireman so the beeping on the firefighter map is called a P.A.S.S device, it allows firefighters to locate their downed buddy if something happens, it activates through the air pack if there is no movement for 15 seconds or we can manually press it

Drae of course you've heard of fukushima catastrophe !

He's completely oblivious 100% on how a nuclear reactor works LOL I love you

4:00 That pool is a cooling station and this is why the another nuclear power plant exploded, because the water of pool in that plant was gone due to some reason, and that crane was to pour water in or take the old one out

That's dope the alarm is going off and an announcement is being hard informing people to exit and do not use the elevators

Yes! Keep em coming!

I was really hoping you'd try the 1F. I tried to play it a week or two ago and my computer wasn't powerful enough to even open the map, so thanks for showing it to us!

So glad the mod days are back

Ah Fukushima daiichi (die ee-chee). Such an intimidating structure. Currently houses the highest recorded radiation reading at around 560 sv/H (sieverts per hour). A normal dosage standing in the sun is basically 0.01μsv/H (Micro sieverts per hour). The only way to record footage inside of the containment vessel is to attach a very long fiber optic lens. Because sending a robot or camera into the vessel would result in the immense amounts of gamma rays piercing through the electronics. Each ray is basically atomic in size, so imagine how many particles must be shooting through the electronics to fry them. Radiation is Incredibly scary, yet fascinating.

i was playing with the firefighting map yesterday and i think its my new favorite map to replace destruction, much better then the apartment map in how the building crumbles and it deletes a lot of the rubble to cut back on the lag

Didnt even notice the pillar spinning at 8:34

that is a crane used for nuclear spent fuel rods so they can be moved to and from a deep pool of water. the pool of water is used to cool any fuel rods down so they do not overheat and cause a meltdown witch can be a very serious hazard.

Always a pleasure to see some Teardown my man. Thank you

oh god I love the detail of that computer map, gotta get this game

"Someone placed some convinent orange square's here" yes nice circular square lmao

3:46 jumps in to a cooling pool also very radioactive

The Fukushima powerplant was flooded by a tsunami. The plant lost all of its primary cooling pumps and secondary pumps. The reactors temps spiked and exploded. 2 or 3 (I forgott) detonated out of the 4

Awesome!

Drae casually swimming in a nuclear reactor

When he got in the TearNG I started looking for his progressive speed bump before realizing it was actually still Teardown

The crane is for dropping very dangerous rods full of very dangerous material into what is about to be very dangerous water.

8:20 Yoo when the tower just goes to the nuclear plant it's so satisfying thanks for creating this video drea keep it up

The crane is used to pick up fuel rods from the spent fuel pool and moved to the reactor and the old fuel rods are moved from the reactor to the spent fuel pool to cool before placed in storage for reuse. Sorry I’m a nerd😂

4:15 that is to move the fuel from the fuel pool to the reactor, then from the reactor to the decomison pool

I love them orange squares 10:27

The ‘pool’ in the power plant is for collate at the bottom you will find a NUCLEAR REACTOR, very safe

the crane is for replacing nuclear fuel and taking nuclear fuel out

Sweet destruction

Those spikes are nuclear fuel rods and tungsten control rods. If real life health effects applied on this game, then you'd be dead in a matter of seconds if you could see them.😂

The fire Was great. Hope to see more derpy npc in teardown.

Drae: Breaks The Reactor Containment and enter in contact with the fuel rods "Hum, it's Just Full of Spears, by The way, why is my skin Red?"

More teardown yay.

That PC insane levels of detail

BeamNG and Teardown crossover is the episode that has been coming and I love it

#1 PC Killer

2f is furnished. The control room is on 2f.

Drae on his way to start the Chernobyl disaster mk2: "my goals are beyond your understanding!"

"simple fun playing with some acid" is my weekend plan actually

For the record the beeping you were hearing in the last map was the PASS of one of the firefighters. It goes off to alert anyone that a firefighter is down.

I don't know why but your voice is comforting

More snowrunner please love your video’s ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The details with the firefighting was so cool. That alarm when he found that one firefighter dead is actually called a PASS alarm, Personal Alert Safety System, if the system is on and it recognizes no movement, an alarm goes off to help firefighters locate downed firefighters in fires

5:00 those are the control rods which act like parents when a toddler is at toys are us. they prevent a meltdown

The weapons they come out with are crazy.

The nuclear power plant polluted the Pacific ocean with radioactive water because it was right on a coast line. Years later, fish off the coast of California began showing signs of radioactive contamination. On a side note, I was hoping to see the Omni-cutter used on the cooling pools to see how the water would react due to being above most of the building.

Drae I recommend the ODM Gear mod, it pretty much makes you Spider-Man and you can go SO fast that you clip through the map sometimes. Still really sick though

I never realized how over-the-top my obsession and studying of nuclear power was until I realized, most people's understandings of nuclear facilities is just like drae's 😅

I love all of your videos! Especially teardown ones ;)

8:42 "i wish you can turn off unbreakables" modders: WRIGTE THAT DOWN

I love ur vid drae so much

Well this made my day

Did anyone else not think that the thumbnail was teardown? It looked to realistic

Sees Thumbnail: _Oh no... is this Fukushima?_

Drae I got to say I Abso love your content. My favs are your BeamNG series….. You have a great sense of humour for what you do and it works like perfect. Keep em coming bro. Much love from Birmingham UK :)

Basically Nuclear Power Plants are just super extended steam generators.

No idea what he is even playing, but its very enjoyable to watch. He does the exact same things I would lol

Great episode

At the beginning it kinda looked like a really deep pond with nothing that floated back up

Teardown videos are the best

Acid vs slimes

i swear this man has the best intro song ive heard in YEARS

Can’t believe you haven’t heard about Fukushima, second worst nuclear meltdown to date. Had a meltdown as the backup generators were underwater when the tsunami came in. Area is still under quarantine today

I love you drea I've been seeing your videos for year's now

Drae, get the No Clip instead of thrusters. It is much easier and more stable.

The firefighters on the map with the flame able building can actually extinguish they just don't go to the fire you have to place them there

I love how he jumps into the "pool"

Watch a video on how a nuclear reactor works

For drae: The camera is for sense of speed so it changes the fov so you feel fast when moving at high speeds it's not a wonky camera

The AC130 mod updated and has a water cannon that's very effective for firefighting!

The crane is to remove fule rods from the reactor and drop them in the spent fule pool. This will cool down the fule and provide extra safety to anyone if they need (for what ever reason) enter the room.
