How Nuclear Power Works - YouTube
Jake O'Neal explores the mechanics of the Westinghouse AP-1000 nuclear reactor design. This technical deep dive examines the internal processes of fuel rods, fission, and steam generation, while detailing the passive safety systems and infrastructure required to manage energy production and radioactive waste throughout the lifespan of the power plant.
A detailed breakdown of Nuclear Power, using the AP1000 plant design as our subject model.
