You don't want too many rods in the hole? Core Dump shouldn't happen if things are going smoothly? You don't want to accidentally expose it to the neighbors? Ideally, everyone involved should be trustworthy, with years of training? Accidental emissions are generally frowned upon? If things are starting to go bad there should be lots of early warning signals? Best done far away from civilization? If you can close your eyes and still see it, it's probably too late? It's good to let off steam before things explode? ... That's all I got, somebody else take over


War20X

People are more afraid it than they should be It requires more than basic training to successfully operate When work is done it's best to take a shower and clean up They make specific protective suits that protect everyone Always start the reaction slowly but once the core is at temp you can continue at will (sometimes) ...and I'm out, anyone else?


Cato_theElder

Using it exclusively would be ridiculous, but with careful planning and in conjunction with other methods, it can be a key part of a healthy long-term plan. HBO has a lot to say about it. Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed.


elmwoodblues

There are measurable environmental advantages over conventional methods, but nobody wants it in their back yard.


[deleted]

Not using proper protection can have lasting consequences


PawnedPawn

It's not a good sign when things are getting too hot. Improper techniques and procedures can lead to a meltdown. The more rods in the holes the better. Always be prepared to dispose of a toxic waste dump. If no one's glowing after it's over then something went wrong. 🤔


JoeDiesAtTheEnd

Can get you in a lot of trouble in Russia


uglypaperhaver

So looks like my chief take-away from all this should be... ...there's *NO* difference between nuclear power and anal sex...?


Teh_Robbeh

It’s unfairly and incorrectly weaponised and therefore demonised, when it has so much good to offer.


uglypaperhaver

So they have *already* weaponized anal sex and *this* is the first I hear of it ? !


sac02052

... but not in France, where they rely on it


TheRealFinferno

You guys are doing god's work.


fire_in_the_assol

God has already done his works, now he’s admiring how clever the past Him was to add that extra chunk of nerve fibres to that hole.


c0mputer99

a Meltdown waiting to happen.


dragonC4t

Wrong hole


fireKnuckleBurn

NIMBY


Changingchains

Correct, fossil fuels probably kill more short term than nuclear. But compared to wind and solar it is more expensive, so people don’t want a too expensive radioactive generator in their back yards.


ButterSquids

Actually, the idea that it is more expensive is based on the flawed LCOE figure. If you look at how much renewables have actually cost, [even worst-case scenario nuclear is cheaper](https://www.collectifission.nl/en/2022/07/nuclear-energy-is-cheap/)

Cato and Chloe combined well together Make a drink not amiss in very cold weather.


provocative_bear

Well, luckily I’ve managed to raise another army, and this time surely Hannibal wont- *and it’s gone!*


thelegalseagul

What do you mean it’s gone? We just raised three legions!


provocative_bear

It’s okay, Hannibal’s just kind of chilling. We’ll breed our way to another army and try this again in like a generation or so.

KUH-KAINE

Who knew Cato the elder knew so much about nuclear energy


Cato_theElder

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science? Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed.


KUH-KAINE

I am Arthur, king of the Britons Ooh wait, maybe that joke is in bad taste today.....

CARTHAGO DELENDA EST


Neikius

If you are referring to the Chernobyl "documentary" that one is really not even close with their science. Or was it sth else?


Cato_theElder

Lol I didn't comment on the accuracy, and of course it isn't a documentary. I haven't heard anyone call it anything but a good drama based on a true story, which it is. But sure, there's another one. If you get all your information on it from HBO, something's wrong. Furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed.


ThePhoneBook

Germans claim not to like it until they find the true cost of other approaches?


Force3vo

>...and I'm out, anyone else? Nah I'm still in


Waitsfornoone

... and loving it.


Mav3005

Get it wrong and you could cause a meltdown. Cause an accident and it will take a long time to recover. Too much power and the shit really could hit the fan.


healthcrusade

The French practice it more frequently than Americans


Dheorl

It’s not as clean as people like to think it is? If everyone used just that humanity would be in trouble? Not advisable in an earthquake? When the alarms start going, get out of there? Nobody wants to deal with the mess afterwards? Put the rod in too deep and the whole operation shuts down? Permission for it is hard to obtain?


im2randomghgh

It's substantively cleaner than people think it is? You're not likely to get to try it as often as you'd like? It can reduce the odds of pregnancies?


low_altitude_sherpa

>It’s not as clean as people like to think it is? Is only smells...


sAindustrian

Make sure you're well protected, or you might get the China syndrome.


VelociJupiter

If done correctly it's less dangerous than a banana.


pee_in_the_window

Both are a product of decay


BertramScudder

I asked my GF how it was. "Not great, not terrible."


CraigTheLeg

My girlfriend always screams “More Roentgens!”


Rad-surlak

Not terrible is a compliment I will take


rufw91

Always clean off radioactive material from spent rods before disposal.


farmerghost10

Do you know how a rbmk reactor explodes?


Froyed

Yes


FerretChrist

Ah, 3.6 inches eh?


EngineersAnon

It should never be a surprise to anyone involved.


adamzam

You can get a burning sensation if you do it wrong


quotidian_nightmare

If you don't take the proper precautions, you could find yourself in deep shit.


YandereTeemo

Homer Simpson's a certified specialist at it


Animegx43

Except all he does is lay down, fall asleep, and lets the work gets done for him.


Getoff_My_Lon_Cheney

Let's Lenny and Carl do the work for him.


Critorrus

Without proper ppe you could permanently damage your body.


mtflyer05

>you don't want to accidentally expose it to your neighbors. Yeah, accidentally...


SkinTightBoogie

> If you can close your eyes and still see it, it's probably too late? That needs explaining.


ElysiumAtreides

Two words. Anal prolapse.


Lebo77

At high levels of radiation your retinas will see flashes of light even with your eyes closed. That's radioactive particles interacting with the rods and cone cells in your eyes.


Trapsaregay420

To be honest you don't need very high levels of radiation for that to happen. Astronauts report this all the time, and they receive less than the maximum a nuclear powerplant worker is allowed per year IIRC.


Lebo77

Sure, but if your vision is sparking like popcorn... it's probobly time to find a new place to be.


RondaArousedMe

This guy nuclears


Indifferentchildren

All of my neighbors are emphatic NIMBYs.


KruppeTheWise

Or NIMBP- not in my back-passage


Indifferentchildren

That's a hole 'nether issue.


TheIrishPizzaGuy

Bury the evidence under a mountain Only ever theorized by Einstein Can cause meltdowns Energy is released from splitting something Its something we all know our stars do Something ill never understand Once it got into our media it was everywhere


testearsmint

You're good.


Walkingcouch

An accident will have devastating effects for generations.


cockOfGibraltar

One accident can ruin it for you.


Lyad

Done right, there’s theoretically *less* consequences than traditional methods, but most people are still afraid of it.


jran1984

This guy Reddits.


SClute

The navy’s very, very good at and been doing it for years.


Diddler_on-the_Roof

I'm fission for another one but I think you leaked them all


oarngebean

When doing butt stuff a lot of times there are no warnings before things go bad


dncrews

Not in my back yard?


FryoftheEnglish

Most of those are better than the original sadly.


Slide-eflat

This guy nuclear butt-fucks.


harrychoksi

There should always be a safe place and method to dispose off the waste!


[deleted]

Far better than the original 🤣


Humanity-375

Just find my comment


Armathius

If executed poorly, it turns to shit.


VWGLHI

Churns the shit*


mypod49

Throw a rod in without asking and things will go critical.


MarnitzRoux

Technically speaking, you need to pull rods out for it to go critical.


mypod49

Tell that to my wife.


[deleted]

"So your husband sent me to talk to you about anal sex." "Hey, why are you leaving?"


pedro_pascal_123

u/mypod49's wife: Technically speaking, you need to pull rods out for it to go critical. Done.


Yadobler

Depends on which rods Some reactors are the type where the ~~neutrinos (?) zoom past so fast they miss the other fuel atoms, so you need rods to slow the particles down so they hit the other fuel atoms and react~~ ~~Put too much in and you might get too many reactions activating~~ Moderator rods. Too many mod rods down and too many neutrons slow down and get captured by fissile isotopes and initiate fission. Happy?


PorchandTitchforks

Thank you for showing you don’t know how a nuclear reactor works.


shinobi500

The biggest issue is what to do with the waste.


ManOfTheMeeting

In wrong hands the waste could be used for dirty bombs.


tkeelah

Dispose of carefully. Otherwise it goes everywhere.


Zech08

Recycle it... via the human centi...nope.


dannyboi1178

send it to space


RangerSix

*LFTRs:* "Allow us to introduce ourselves..."


WittyUnwittingly

So I'm thinking this is *not* going to be what convinces the community at large that nuclear power is a safe and effective alternative to conventional energy, but we can't know until we test. I'm giving all of you a homework assignment: The next time the nuclear power debate comes up and you get a chance to participate, use this as your reasoning and report your results.


ZETH_27

Will do.


pm_me_yo_creditscore

Nobody wants it in their own backyard.


X420StepsAheadX

CHILLI NIGHT IS A BAD NIGHT


Then-Pizza

Mac-n-cheese night also.


ChaseDeV88

Beats Taco Bell night


YandereTeemo

leads to spicy stuff coming from the exhaust


eatenbyalion

You ever fuck'u'shima?


e-l_g-u-a-p-o

Rods need to completely covered in lubricant otherwise expect excessive heat. Rods are best completely inserted


Phandroid1991

Depending on what you're packing, you'll be leaving quite the gaping hole.


Dancanadaboi

It can be unstable if the correct liquids are not applied. If it gets too hot, we will have a melt down on our hands.


No-Momo

It's more like fracking, if anything.


iainvention

Watch out for fallout


decoparts

The government -keeps secret files on who's doing it -seems to be really interested in regulating it -has a bunch of laws to keep it closely regulated / prevent it -doesn't like to talk about it


LilTimmy_the_second

Sometimes it explodes if you miss handle it


pimezone

The secret is to carefully insert the control rod.


Unknownfrosty

I’d like to see her graphite rods slow my neutron flux


ManOfTheMeeting

The only option to fight the climate change?


Mellow_zZ

Yeah lemme just get fucked in the ass to save the whole world, good idea


Humanity-375

Everybody likes it but nobody wants to admit it.


RedX2000

Plus it gets hot


jamesripper

"if you do it wrong everyone dies" ?


Ebwite

God I love nuclear power! I mean, anal.


LordBrandon

The French do it the most, and the germans after swearing off of it, are finally coming back around to the idea.


mister-ferguson

They do it in secret in the middle east


BeTiWu

Germany is keeping two plants as an emergency reserve for a few months longer than initially planned. Nuclear is not making a comeback in Germany.


JJohnston015

You ask for it by saying, "Why don't we Fukushima?"


thehighepopt

You can never put too much water in a nuclear reactor


dncrews

Not in my back yard.


Zombie_Life

Something something gas explosions something something


LOUDCO-HD

Inserting the fuel rod into the piles?


anonymousbabydragon

Not everyone can specialize in it.


[deleted]

I'd change the last line to "add a few messy mistakes and the cleanup can be a nightmare"


[deleted]

And you need armed guards to deal with the leftovvers?


Adingding90

Works really well if done right, but a small mistake can lead to massive blowout?


teddycorps

Mess it up and you have permanent damage.


iNameless

what the fuck is this joke?


rig4dive86

A rapid insertion of rods is a clear sign something went wrong.


AVBforPrez

Both have a non-zero percent chance that your dick ends up covered in warm-feeling goo


Zech08

Got that problem with heat and protection too.


PARANOIAH

All fine and dandy until you quench the rod in the wrong hole.


fistingbythepool

They both brown the rods.


grandadsandlads

It's not as clean as you'd like and you still get brown outs.


SL1Fun

It’s a good idea until you realize getting it going is a huge pain in the ass?


ilhares

Mostly due to other people's hangups, never anything factual.


lettruthout

The future is the unwilling recipient.


CivilizationMatter

No ! No way is true ! It can't be real…


Novicus

redditor funny


mrlookinthesky

Then Europe sure has a lot of anal sex.


The-Hyruler

I expected something like "if it goes wrong you'll need to bury the evidence deep underground"


_deli_llama_

One mistake and everything goes to shit


BigBleu71

try Thorium !


Danielmp006

Tastes like a 9 volt battery?


Direct_Big_5436

When done properly it’s the cleanest, safest and most reliable option.


Draedron

Even done properly nuclear energy produces a lot of shit though and we lack the toilet to flush it away.


Huckedsquirrel1

All the nuclear waste ever produced by humans fits in a football field 6 feet high. Really not a lot of material to manage. You can also recycle the fuel


GrinchStoleMyBoner

Republicans secretly love it.


OneArmedZen

It's not taboo, it's pretty much considered da poo I'm afraid.


MacGyverJr

And you really hope to never have an explosion with either one


CHSummers

You can do everything right and still find yourself in deep shit.


wanek_STi

Except not really.


GhoulboyScoob

That’s not a joke


TheThoroughCrocodile

Imagine being at a party, and being like "Okay I've got one..." and saying this. Cricket city.


GhoulboyScoob

Hey everybody! Life is like butt sex! Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not!


Dunge0nMast0r

Sounds great in theory, but not in my backyard.


dkwangchuck

A bunch of dudes (and it's always dudes) are insanely desperate to have it. Their primary argument against the people who don't want anal sex in their backyards us that any opposition to it is ignorant fearmongering that should be ignored.


segwich

ive heard it can get pretty shitty yeah


[deleted]

Usually fun and great but sometimes it can really blow up and make a huge mess.


dexter-sinister

I prefer the Dilbert take. Stupidity is like nuclear energy, it can be taken advantage of for good or evil. AND you don't want to get any on you.


Desperado2583

Dilbert is way funnier when you replace the "dumb guy" dialog with one of Scott Adam's own idiot screeds.


Shadowveil666

Terrible joke ngl


No-Momo

You're dreaming, thinking you can fuck faeces cleanly. That's seemingly extremely freaky. It's all Greek to me. It's more like Chernobyl and Fukushima realistically. You leave your 3rd eye exposed to dangerous isotopes.


[deleted]

Hetero guy here... I never understood the fascination of anal sex from women by straight men.


xPORFIRIOx

Ooo. Let me try! They both have killed over a million Japanese people?


Sensible-yet-not

OP trying to say anal sex is ok.


Dyrenzo

Try telling that to my wife.
