Is going to be uh, how do we get rid of that water safely . Can we recycle it . Can we safely get rid of it . Well ask the question that were going to be answering in this episode, so stay tuned to find the answer. If youve been following our program, you may have seen the episode that weve done on how a reactor works, so you may already know that for a reactor to activate we need to put the reactor core, which is where all the nuclear fision happens and all the radio isotopes are made, a 7 meter depth under pool of light or heavy water, because well theres a lot of radioactivity going on inside the reactor core and the operators within the Nuclear Facility need to be protected from that radioactive. And water, heavy or light water, are pretty good absorbents and kind of like shields against radioactivity, but that water over time gets saturated from that radioactivity and eventually needs to be replaced with new clean water, so what do we do with the uh radioactive toxic water that wa
May have missed a crucial step in between, which is what do we do with the water that surrounds the core of the reactor that gets eventually saturated with radioactivity and can no longer function the way it used to, of because the water is needed partially for the safety of uh the operators within the Nuclear Facility, because it absorbs a lot of the neutrons that is resulted as the core of the reactor just simply operates uh, but we cant just get rid of that water by just dumping it. Somewhere, its unsafe, so today the question is going to be uh, how do we get rid of that water safely . Can we recycle it, can we safely get rid of it .

[inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] all right everybody as our special keynote speaker comes in, and i want to Welcome National security adviser to President Biden Jake Sullivan and the Arms Control Association Board Chairman tom countryman up to the stage. Tom will introduce jake, and we will have some time after the address for questions. Well start with reporters and then go to the audience. Tom will draw further instructions. Tom, over to you. Thank you, daryl. Welcome. We will be briefing the introduction because you didnt come to hear me. You came for the National Security adviser, Jake Sullivan. Let me just note that after his remarks we will take a couple of questions from the press pool here and then a couple of questions from the audience. If you would like to ask a question, jot it down on the pads by your chair and hold it up and our staff will colle
Welcome. We will be brief in this introduction because you didnt come to hear me. You came for the National Security advisor Jake Sullivan. Let me just note that after his remarks, we will take a couple of questions from the press pool here and a couple of questions from the audience. If you are would like to ask a question, i think on the path by her chair, hold it up for our staff and they will collected. What brings us together as an association is our belief that americas National Security depends upon prudent restraint in Nuclear Policy and upon an active effort led by the United States to constantly reduce the risk of nuclear war and to fulfill our leap goal legal obligations to negotiate in good faith, the reduction and elimination of Nuclear Weapons. To our meeting last year, President Biden wrote that perhaps more than any other time in the cold war, we must work to reduce the risk of an arms race or nuclear escalation. Arms control and nonproliferation diplomacy continue to b
