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 . Well, thats 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 uh seen the episode that weve done on how a reactor works, so you may already know that uh 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 seven 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 radioactivity and water, heavy or light water or pretty good absorbents and kind of like shields against radioactivity, but that water over time gets saturated from that radioactivity and eventually n

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.
