If you ingest any of the water you will instantly poo. The pools are not green but have large concentrations of boron which makes causes instant extreme diarrhea.
The pools are filled about 20' above the fuel to give that barrier.
3: 42 that's not ionizing radiation like nuclear power gives off. That's electromagnetic radiation coming from wifi and other electronics. Although both are harmful in large quantities, they have very different health effects.

I don't know where you got the info for this video, but, water is NOT biological. Water is a good place for spent fuel rods because it attenuates the radiation better than lead at appropriate depths.
Don't let this guy freak you out. The only radiation you need to worry about is ionizing radiation. The radiation your TV and phone produce are non-ionizing radiation. Light is radiation just so you know.

Actually the half life of a nuclear fuel rod is 24, 000 years. Not 10, 000. So much misinformation in this video. Nuclear fuel pools are kept between 68F and 138F. The area outside around the pool even during an outage is high radiation too. Not completely safe lol. You only have a certain amount of time to do your work before RP kicks you out. They have special dosimeters that they can remotely monitor.

-What If You Fell Into a Spent Nuclear Fuel Pool? -
Spent nuclear fuel wouldn't be liquid at room temperature, so your title and thumbnail are silly.
I think what you meant to type is -What if you fell into a pool of water that was once part of the primary cooling loop of a nuclear reactor. -
But what do I know, right?

That-s the last time I dive into a spent nuclear fuel rod pool in a spacesuit-
Also, tokamak reactors are not nuclear fission like fuel rods, they are nuclear fusion like stars.
And CRT TVs gave off some x-rays but modern flat screens don-t.
You-re more at risk with your smartphone pressed against your head.

Ac a nuclear worker i can confirm that actually somebody has felt into reactor pool, thats why we have lifebuoy ring near the reactor pool, actually he was not harmed but slightly active but not in life changing way, actually you can easly fall into pool all you have to do is trip on some rod or smthing

I was born and raised near Beloyarskaya atomic station in the Urals, and heard stories of people who regularly went to sunbathe and swim in the technical pools of the station. Needless to say the water was pleasantly warm. As far as I know, no one suffered any radiation poisoning or other effects.

Clearly, the evidence suggests you will be embued with a superpower. You will then make your own superpower costume from some scraps of spandex. Then, at night, you will wander the streets looking for bad people to incinerate with your radioactive energy beam.

WINSOR- He did jump in-A lot. He went for swims-No Lie.
He Designed Nuclear power plants.
He went on lecture tours.
Like Bill Cooper, Phil Schneider and many others-.
--The satanic FED Gov. Vanished him in 2008.
He was 82.

I worked at a nuclear power plant and one of the techs fell in the fuel pool. He swam to the side and climbed out. All he said is the water was warmer than he thought it would be. No super powers, no radiation poisoning, and no long term effects.

Reminds me of the diver that was sucked into a nuclear power plant while diving in the ocean. He was pulled in by giant fans, into a pipe, and spit out into a nuclear fuel pool. He received no radiation from the incident. Interesting stuff.

Obviously it is not very radioactive, or else it would not take 10, 000 years until it eventually isn't. If it was radioactive for 10 years is when you should get concerned, because then it would be 1000x more radioactive; )

You know what's worse than that? Falling into a cyanide pool. We used to watch the bats fly down at night and take a sip from the pool and then die midair. In the morning, a man would fish them out with a pool cleaning net.

I do not believe that because the water protect you from radiation when it is absolutely clean but as soon as you fell in the pool you start to contaminate the water and the radiation spreads what i have been reading?

I know a guy who voluntarily jumped in to save a zip tie clipping that flew in. Imagine how bad the alternative must have been for that to sound like a good idea.

I'm more curious about why spent rods are retired if they still generate so much heat. I seems to me it's like throwing away a battery when it's only half used.

It's actually scientificly and statistically safer than the last madated medication.
If your not right over the fuel rods.
Take comfort in that.

Wow so you-d be just fine if you went into one of these pools. What If, how do you figure this kind of stuff out without trying it yourself?

I literally see one every day at work. I have to walk about two feet away from it and I've always wondered what would happen if I fell in.

I hear what you say, but what if someone pushed me and this way it becomes an accident and can possibly give me superpowers?

Typically a pool is anywhere from 73-85 degrees. Falling into this 30 degree rod cooling pool would be like taking an ice bath.

The surface is really safe bc that's heavy water, it protects the radiation from going up, just don't go down near the reactor

Nothing will happen as long as you do not dive down towards the rods. In fact the water should be nice and warm. -

Radiation in itself is one of the weirdest things to exist. An invisible energy than can screw you over.
