Do you like these react episodes? Let me know what you’d like me to react to next! Thanks for watching!☢️👩🏽‍🔬🧪🥼

Surely you just need to find a lead lined fridge to survive a nuclear explosion

I think people thanks to a lot of cartoons and misinformation incorrectly think that spent nuclear fuel or reactors in operation are green, when Cherenkov Radiation is blue. Honestly your channel is so interesting!

I So Glad able To see Nuclear Reactor Starting up In Action 8:38

Mam, i think u should make videos more often as Nuclear Energy is a area full of misinformation and myths and your simple way of explaining things (with smile in ur face 😅😅)definitely helps in eliminating those false information and it kinds of creates an awareness 😃😃🙏🙏.

Regarding taking off your clothes, that's not a great idea until after the fallout is done falling out or you're inside.

Thanks for your presentation. As a young engineer, I put an upgraded control system in to the Hifar reactor at Lucas Heights in the early 80s. It was a very small reactor used for research and medical isotopes. I took the project over just before installation was meant to commence and had to tell my boss that the system we were delivering wouldn't work. I had to redesign and get some specially calibrated analogue devices (analogue computers) to calculate the cooling water flows and the project was a loss but we completed it and the service arm of the business maintained it for many years until the reactor was replaced. I had a good relationship with the Doctor in charge for the AAEC. One young technician working on the project with me, one day brought his girlfriend onto site under a blanket in his car. Poor Doc Jones almost collapsed when we found them. We had to carefully smuggle her back out under the blanket past the "sleepy" Federal Police on the gate. Hopefully security has been considerably upgraded since then. I also caused some anx while calibrating a differential pressure transducer, one hose came off under pressure and blew the mercury in the manometer all over the plantroom and we had to get a clean-up crew in. Fortunately it didn't get sucked into the cooling circuit and so did not have to shut one of the 3 systems down. I had a small steel sight glass with a charged gold leaf to detect if I received radiation exposure but I don't remember anyone ever checking it. We also put process control systems in at Ranger Uranium Mine and projects on several coal fired power stations, like the coal loading conveyors at Vales Point and a system at Bayswater. I had tremendous experiences back in those days and worked in a small group of young hard working controls engineers on wide range of systems all over Australia. We still catch up at Christmas for a lunch.

OMG, I absolutely love you and your style. Funny, informative, and overall amazing, always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the amazingness.

I’m so happy that someone with your education is taking the time to enlighten us science lovers on nuclear energy and the science behind it. And the reaction/pop culture videos are great too. Especially loving the Chernobyl videos, more-so with the recent Russian soldiers incursion into The Chernobyl exclusion zone and media hype about it.

When I was in High school I had the opportunity to tour the reactor at Penn State and they performed a pulse of the reactor while we were there. It was pretty incredible to see.

Discovered you earlier tonight, and have now seen all your videos. Very good and interesting. So good I decided to sub. Thank you for awesome content, and greetings from Sweden

Getting into a car is probably bad because the car has fuel in the tanks and glass that can cut you up when the blast wave hits. The "poisonous rain" refers to a phenomena where cooling and particles from the "mushroom" causes water in the air to condense and form "black rain". This can have a high consentration of fallout. To make things worse, a few hours after the blast, people with no access to stored water may start drinking this water, as it is the only one available. This rain caused a significant fraction of the casualties at Hiroshima.

Can you react the the Chernobyl HBO series and explain and react and say how accurate is the series is to the Chernobyl meltdown? But I love your channel keep it up!

I liked your reactions but @2:14 this section seems to suggest you can avoid the radiation and heat blast by lying down or getting in a structure. This is good advice but not for that reason. First, you know of the nuclear explosion because you see the flash (probably in the distance somewhere) As soon as you see the flash, the gamma rays have already gone through you from the initial blast, as has the thermal radiation, as they both move at the speed of light. The alpha particles are slower (and more easily stopped) but still move 20,000,000 km/s so you won't be ducking them and betas are faster than that (at nearly light speed). Getting on the ground deals with the shock wave, and the second blast of heat that comes with the shock wave. It is worthwhile to watch the old nuclear test videos, such as the clip where they test detonations and see a house destroyed. There is a flash, and simultaneously the house instantly catches fire (if close enough in the test), later, there's a huge wind (shockwave) that tends to put the fire out, and rips the house apart, after that, the cooler air is drawn back toward the blast, causing a wind in the opposite direction, further destroying the house. Here's a good link that shows each one further than the last from a 29 kT blast. watch?v=ztJXZjIp8OA Basically, if you are a few km away or more, AND have a fast reaction time when you see a bright flash and everything catching fire at once (most likely if inside it will be the blinds or curtains) then you have a few seconds to fall to the floor and cover your ears before the shockwave hits.

I love "Expert reacts" channels. Subscribing for the inevitable "Chernobyl" HBO show review/reaction!

I really thought these "ignition videos" were fake. Good to know, they're not.

I'd be fascinated to see reactions to old science texts. As a young child I became fascinated by nature, and read how atomic reactors and fission/fusion devices worked at around age 6 or 7, about 1962 or so. Although I didn't follow my childhood dreams, I got in the habit of looking back at old science books and magazines as a young adult, and spent a lifetime marveling at how much of what we think we know turns out to be wrong, how much of what is now fundamental was once just interesting new ideas, and how far off we were on many predictions. I know you learned the old materials in your own education, but there is just something special about reading old materials presented in the present tense.

Nice job educating. Would you do a video on the different types of fission reactors. Thorium, heavy water, gas etc. ?

I recommend checking out video covering the Fallout series. It would be interesting to see your take on it.

Hi, I'm a big post-apocalyptic movie fan and I'd love an answer/video to address these two related questions (didn't see them mentioned in the myths video): Q1. If there was an apocalypse where the staff of a nuclear power plant were caught by surprise and died/were killed, what would happen to the nuclear power plant in the short and long term? Q2. If there was an apocalypse where the staff of a nuclear power plant had the time to make a nuclear power plant "safe" but died after, what would happen to the nuclear power plant in the short and long term? Basically, I've seen/read a few stories where nuclear power plants go wrong because no-one's looking after them and I'd like to know how accurate that is.

I like your videos and all, and the information you put out is certainly valid. But one thing the tiktoker missed about 'surviving a nuclear blast'. If you saw the bomb go off, you ALREADY are hit by the radiation. The burst of gamma/ x-rays is just as fast as the visible light. You don't 'see' the bomb and then have time to hide from the radiation given off. Now it is true that if you saw the detonation in the distance, you might have enough time to hide/ shelter from the blast wave (which travels much slower than the speed of light). But you've already received the gamma burst.

Re: poisonous rain is coming? Fallout is really only a problem for detonations low enough that the fireball touches the ground. I mean, I'm not gonna make any assumptions about the detonation altitude until I can see what ground zero looks like, so assume that fallout is coming for sure (and grab a valved N-95) but it also may not be.

1:00 they dont orbit like planets though.... The reason there is cloud in that picture is because of the probability cloud of electrons.

The problem with the "You are mostly empty space!" claim is that, in quantum physics, there either isn't really such a thing as empty space or there isn't really such a thing as non-empty space. All of space-time is filled with quantum fields, which have, among other things, different "probabilities" of having different theoretical point-like particles at different points in space-time, with the probabilities varying continuously (as a field in space-time). That's why electron orbitals are said to actually "look like" clouds, or a cloud, since the "cloud" is a representation of the field of "probability" of an electron being at each point. (There are also probabilities about the velocity/momentum, spin, and phase of the electrons, but that happens at each point, but that rapidly becomes to draw or understand.)

I really enjoy watching videos when the professional reacts to videos about their major. They can tell what is true and what is not. You should definitely do more reactions i cant wait ❤️❤️❤️❤️

25 years ago I visited in scool the nuclear research reactor in my hometown vienna, we were allowed to see the startup from above the reactor, it was fascinating.

4:50 there are actually sub cirtical chain reactions as well as super critical. One example of a sub critical chain reaction is that of a neutron in Lithium 6 and 7

great video, thank you for sharing! I liked the Chain Reaction stick video but I think the Chain Reaction created by mousetraps and Ping pong balls videos are better.

"You are empty space" - novel way to call someone an airhead!

Cool also you should review atomic locomotive

you are very inteligent woman and you explain so perfect.

THANK YOU Elina for being "Our" Favorite Nuclear Physicist. We are Blessed by your presence. 😊

Hi there. I'm really loving your videos as they are very informative. I have one question for you. Is the water that you see when the reaction starts up the same water that goes to the turbines? Or are there heat exchangers in the core itself? Thanks again for your wonderful videos.

Just discovered your channel, watched some stuff, liked it and subbed. Hope.you're doing some more, esp. some reactions.

Seeing a nuclear reactor core activate for the first time looks really really cool

I was only listening at 1:37 but I recognized the person's voice right away.

The charged particles video should have a follow up with fast and thermal neurons

I toured a local nuclear power plant (Beaver Valley Pa, USA Nuclear Power Station) in the 1980s as a future engineer. It was an amazing experience. I believe I was there just before unit #2 went online for the first time but that was long ago so my memory could be a little wong.

Intresting that it goes as fast at speed of light in the medium of water in nuclear reactors. That's cool

8:00 There were Soldiers of the aggressor in nowadays were digging the Trenches, what the would be the result?

You're becoming an sort of MODEL for current generation by presenting complex science this way✌️

during the reactor ignition the light is cool but im curious what is the source of the sounds you hear i kind of expected the reactor the be quieter how loud is it on average in a reactor and what is causing most of the sounds is the turbine the loudest thing in the building or is something louder then that

Never dreamed I would hear Tiny Tim in this video. 😂 I'm old enough that he was on TV now and then when I was a kid.

7:43 okay, when I have to write a public sign in a language which isn't my first one, I'd rather consult the dictionary to double-check, lol.

You can actually visit Chernobyl, and dig around in the exclusion zone, as a Russian soldier.

It’s like a circuit diagram. It just shows the parts. It doesn’t actually look like that

I have a question about Cherenkov Radiation, which form is moving faster than light, Alpha, Beta, or Gamma?

Maybe a video on relativistic electrons, where minds can be blown by the fact that gold should be silver, save for its relativistic electrons? As for x-rays and gamma from a nuclear blast, most strategic nukes are thermonuclear weapons, so to get such an exposure to the x-rays and gamma, I'd have to be inside of the fireball and have other things to worry about. 3 feet of earth can protect against fallout from any ground burst, which are rife with fallout. At around 12 hours, it's safe to dash out and in to take a look or grab some necessity, after two weeks, it's fairly tame again. Well, unless some maniac uses a cobalt-60 device, then it's time to decide whether to starve or go enjoy the gamma... Modern nukes aren't like the Hiroshima and Nagasaki devices, core components that included the fissionable core were recovered from the blast sites. US devices produced around a half ton of fallout for modern warheads, can't speak to Russian devices fallout levels, but likely they also wanted efficient cores, rather than spewing what otherwise could've been a productive yield. And folks, neutron bombs won't leave cities intact, they're still nukes. They removed the uranium tamper, so it isn't there to fission and boost the explosive yield, spewing neutrons about, but still are nukes and destructive. They were designed to either fizzle an incoming nuclear warhead (low yield detonation by bathing it with neutrons) or deny an area to the enemy for a fairly brief amount of time (weeks to months). No magic, no magical death ray, just fairly straightforward physics. For info on surviving fallout, look up the Castle-Bravo test and the men trapped by the unanticipated doubling of the explosive yield of the device. Chain reaction with sticks? I'd show a bowling strike. ;) Or a room full of mousetraps... Chernobyl, totally lethal, kills everything and everyone, ignore the Russian army that camped, dug, lived, ate, drank and smoked there. Unhealthy, yes, lethal, not so much. I'd not camp in the undecontaminated areas, but hell, I'd eat lunch sitting next to the "elephant's foot". Well, once all dust was removed from the room... Simpler to say that most organisms in nature reproduce quickly, so any cumulative effects of the contamination is minimal to their reproduction, well, save those pesky slow growing trees. Cherenkov radiation is just a bunch of jealous electrons. ;) I'll just get my coat... Still, there was a danger that the cameraman might've fallen into the reactor pool and drowned. Gotta grab my hat...

What do you make of troops who (absolutely 3Trillion% should) have received NBC training entrenching in the Red Forest?

Do Thrads (1984 film).

Is the Cherenkov Radiation always present when the reactor is active or is it only during the start up process?

Funnily enough the nuclear explosion itself isn't that bad, the heat and the radiation from the bomb alone, since it's pretty short range. Some people actually stood under a high altitude explosion without stuffering any major health issues. What's really dangerous,in the long term at least, is the irradiated and contaminated, ground and debris that's are taken from the surface and thrown up into the atmosphere. And the shockwave the shockwave will blow your head open

The sound from those pulse mode research nuclear reactors is from the water cooling pumps. The core of them is also at a much higher enrichment than a power reactor. The blue glow is actually more violet than blue in real life 🤓

Isn't the point of the electron cloud representation that the electrons fundamentally do not orbit the nucleus like a little solar system but are quantum objects with actually uncertain positions? In fact, wasn't it the impossibility of the "planetary" model of electron orbits that actually led to the discovery of quantum physics?

So the electrons are moving faster than the speed of light in water. If they have enough inertia to accelerate faster than light through water it would stand to reason that a reactor core in a vacuum might also make electrons that move faster than light in a vacuum as well.

Ever since I learned about orbitals, I have taken a disliking to when people say "You are mostly empty space..." It's not really true, because inside an atom the electrons are waves, "contained" inside the orbitals, wich actually take up quite a lot of space in the atom. And I'm putting contained inside quotation marks because technically not even that is correct because of uncertainty and the quantum tunnel effect. So, NO I don't agree, we are not mostly made of empty space, we are all wave function and empty space does not exist in a wave function. Feel free to argue otherwise. Please try to convince me that I'm wrong!

Chernobyl unfortunately was disturbed by Russian soldiers. The area harbours a lot of rare species, e.g. Europe's only wild population of the endangered Przewalski's horses. I hope that the soldiers didn't do any damage to the wildlife, but considering how the forest was burning, I think my hope is already pointless😐 In any way, there's a Brazilian model called Isabel who's on TikTok and makes funny videos about nuclear power (she's a pro nuclear activist). I only watched three or so of her videos, but maybe they'd be worth checking out.

depending on if it´s a full scale nuclear war or just one bomb, in case of a nuclear war, there is no good reason to survive as the planet will fast become a nightmare to live on, in case of one bomb, there is no good resaon not to survive as the effect will be reallatively small

You know that the person knows nothing when they say "nucular" instead of "nuclear"

6:16 ADHD in action 😆😆

Nice!

What's the nuetron source to start the reaction? U235?

What are differences between Quantum (?Nuclear?) Atom and Classical Nuclear Atom?

COLD WAR ERA MOST AMERICAN HOMES WERE ALUMINUM SIDING

7:45 Trespassers incur administrative and criminal responsibility pertinent to the Laws ok Ukraine. (If you are caught trespassing) In addition, even if you are not caught trespassers will may incur illnesses associated with radiation exposure including, but not limited to acute radiation sickness, cancer, and increased risk of birth defects in future children.

Great video, Elina

I looove the shirt ☺

React to Generation Atomic videos

Came across your channel by accident! Have you watched the HBO TV series Chernobyl?

Quesrion? Is the speed of electrons through the water faster than the speed of light due to the transfer of the valance electrons transfering from one atom to the next?

I wouldn't say that electrons are traveling in orbits is very accurate. They have their orbitals which basically describe the energy level and where the electron can "be found", and to describe it as a cloud where the cloud is dense where there's is a high probability of "finding the electron" and less dense where it is less likely to "find the electron" is more accurate than the "electrons traveling in orbits" model. However the orbital model is easier to understand for educational purposes than the electron cloud model.

Watch the Sam Onella video about thorium

Very informative, but what happens to the radiation when it bounces back?

Atoms are very complex. The core is very dense and very tiny compared to the whole size. And electrons don't just "orbit" in simple, circular motions or shells. It's more of a probability distribution of where they are at any one time, and the probability depends on their energy. It is those energies that constitute the "shells" you learn about in school chemistry. And that is determined by their quantum states. 2 electrons can't occupy the same quantum state in an atom, so some of them have higher energy states. For example the lowest energy state only has 2 possible values with spin up or down, so the most electrons that can occupy that lowest state is 2. So after Hydrogen and Helium the next electron is forced to occupy a higher energy state in Lithium. In the end you get very complex shapes of probability distributions that aren't at all round. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. For most practical applications like established chemistry and even nuclear engineering the simple shell model you learn about in school works just fine. You only need more details in QM or strange edge cases or for super detailed simulations. You also need those details if you want to make predictions of how some system of chemicals react, for example by purpose designing medicine before you even know how to synthesize the stuff. A lot of research goes on there.

The best way to survive a nuclear bomb is to go to your assigned Vault.

Problem is to explain people these theories. Most people slept during physic lessons and do not understand these model representations purpose. If alpha particle goes through 3 mm aluminium plate most people denies this truth. Tunneling-theory just make things more confusing.

♥️ the content ☢️ ☢️☢️

Make vedio how plant cells can withstand radiation

11:00 underwater drone non-human.

The reason a car is a bad place for survival is related to carbon monoxide poisoning. Because of people dying due to carbon monoxide poisoning modern cars are designed to provide forced ventilation even when the air conditioner is not being used. This will force radioactive fallout inside the car even if you turn off the air conditioning and roll the windows up.

I guess I'll have to find a cave in the center of the city of Lima.

9:55 Wrong, Light simply bounces around the atoms causing it to appear to travel slower

How to survive a nuclear blast! -- Do I really want to?

Plant cells don't get effected by gama rays?

I think the reason a car would be bad is because of the secondary radiation.

People on TikTok actually believe meth, cocaine and LSD are able to literally make you fly. I almost had zero interest when I read the entire title.

We are trying to run cars on hydrogen and pure oxygen. Nuclear power in certain areas would work well with them.

You are so funny

wait, the video was released ten months ago. what do you really mean by, "you can visit as a tourist?" helping Russian soldiers digging out trenches, or how am I supposed to interpret this 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

Fusion 30 years?

The facts of temporal mechanics sync-duration are sufficiently prominent that a Mathematician could reduce them to a symbolic elemental representation, Euler's e-Pi-i 1-0-infinity Fission-Fusion-Fission Function, which Physicists could interpret as "Perfect Gas" thermodynamical real-time Heat Equation dynamics. Responsible parents should supervise what rubbish kids are watching, education is in trouble, but always has been. Relative-timing concepts are tricky to teach yourself after centuries of worse than wrong junk.

That alpha particles are stopped by a piece of paper is a misleading misconception. Some alpha particles will get stopped by clothing or paper or sufficiently much air, but a good portion will get through. Put an alpha emitter into a cloud chamber and then wrap it up in paper and you will still see plenty of whisks, although reduced. It can happily punch through, not to mention the gigantic gaps you have in fabric. Even the top and dead layer of your skin won't stop those particles 100% of the time and they can easily reach your live skin cells and cause skin cancer or simply kill off those cells. The gamma man should've just teleported to the far wall, really.

As an Electrical PE, I find your videos very educational and interesting. Perhaps on a future video you can explain to us the difference between a Covalent bond and an Ionic bond in atomic terms as well as different isotopes for radioactive elements. Could you compare the difference of splitting atoms between Uranium and Plutonium and which releases more energy? Finally, it's clearly obvious that you are beautiful, would you share your TIkTok and OnlyFans link so we can support you there as well? ευχαριστώ 🙂

Q: If the channel is our friendly nuclear physicist, who, what, where or when is the unfriendly one? Q2: What is Your superpower?

Mistake on the sign "effected" should be "affected" but I suppose it's a mistranslation. Oh lots of mistakes. 😂

Most irritating thing people do is say Nuculer when there's only 1 U! Dang it people, it's NU-CLEAR! Where is that other U coming from?

Gamma and x rays are stopped by high density material like lead. You said concrète which is not accurate. Concrète and plastic are stopping beta radiation. Beta radiation can penetrate several cms of humans that's how pet ct works. Correct me if I'm wrong

At 3:35 you are much too kind. Anyone who says "you are covered in radiation" is showing they know nothing. You may be covered in contamination, but not radiation. People who do not know the difference have no business trying to tell other people what to do. Where do these people come from?

Just wondering... Why is that Hiroshima is livable whereas Chernobyl isn't?

I am very sad that I am German :(
