Man, if they keep making these radioactive material containers so tough, how is one ever going to break open in my neighborhood and give me superpowers?

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com A nuclear flask made out of 280 tons of solid steel. It is important that these flasks are safe so they are tested extensively! At one of the tests where the flask was filled with water and dropped from some height a stream of water was spotted to leak out. This was unacceptable and further improvements to the flask were made. To prove that they are safe now one was put on a train moving 100mph (~160km/h) and was crashed into another one located end of train track. The explosion was pretty massive. There was some buckling and some scaring on the metal of the flask but pressure tests revealed that the contents was safe. Similar tests go on around the world. A different test in Albuquerque. New Mexico and a different flask on a lorry. The train hurtles towards the lorry. The train is destroyed by the flask survives the 80 mph impack (~130 km/h). Then another test. A flask is put on rocket powered truck and smashed into a concrete wall. At 60mph (100km/h), the flask is unharmed, there is not even enough damage to measure. So they load it on another truck and do it all again but this time faster at 80mph. At first the flask does look as if it is damaged. But it's just a little of lorry debri. So they put it on a train powered by a rocket sled. Although everything around is damaged, the flask itself is fine. So they make the final test putting it to 14000 deg's fahrenheit (8000 C). The flask kept cool. It survived everything they threw at it. --- It's Never too Late to Study: http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com --- Notice: This video is copyright by its respectful owners.

http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com When nuclear fuel is sent from powerstations to reprocessing, a simple procedure is used which now has been carried out safely more than 14'000 times. The fuel rods are first cooled for at least 90 days at power station by immersing them in ponds. When taken out of storage the heat coming from each rod has dwindled to about 25 watts - roughly equivalent to a small electric light bulb. About 200 rods at a time are loaded into an open top steel skip which is then placed inside a special container called a flask. The flasks are very robust - they weigh around 50 tons and have walls 35 cm thick. 16 bolts, each able to take a load of 150 tons without breaking, secure the lid. The flasks are forged out of two blocks of steel. When finished each flask is worth half a million pounds. Stringent manufacturing and performance standards have to be met. These are drawn up by International Atomic Energy Agency. To meet these standards the industry has developed a comprehensive testing program. Literally hundreds of impact tests have been carried out using scaled models dropping them so that they land from all sorts of different angles. In 1983 to enhance public confidence in the flasks a full scale testing of an actual production flask in real life conditions was begun. A three locomotive train was smashed into a flask going at 100mph. --- It's Never too Late to Study: http://www.FreeScienceLectures.com --- Notice: This video is copyright by its respectful owners.
