First of all, fuel assemblies remain submerged during all handling operations. The minimum shielding requirement is ~3m of water for a high burn-up, & they use special cranes for handling operations

BWR pools are filled with demineralized water, and PWR pools are normally filled with a dilute (~0.2M) boric acid solutionđź’§
The role of boric acid in nuclear power plant is basically to control nuclear fission rate (among other uses)

First in a series #PWR/#BWR. Every Friday for the next few weeks I’ll tweet a “Paper/Book Worth Reading.” All assessments entirely subjective, no refunds offered, but responses/feedback much appreciated.

The paper’s point of departure: the trente glorieuses were not just an economic anomaly, but they left deep traces in political, economic, and legal thought. They shaped the mapping of the world most of us grew up with, the assumptions we were educated into.
The paper then highlights the key assumptions that have now been disproven. In doing so it gives a fantastic mapping of which long-dominant lines of argument are no longer valid and must be rethought.
