@SleepyNeutrons In what way are the Spent Fuel pools at #ZaporizhiaNPP special and not able to burn if not cooled?
If not cooled they start to boil in about 3 days and generate hydrogen, then the water level drops half a meter a day untill the fuel is exposed. When the fuel is exposed it burns

@SleepyNeutrons @threadreaderapp unroll
@SleepyNeutrons Senior reactor operator blocks when told.... Yes spent nuclear fuel is fully still reactive and Fissionable, full of poisonous radionuclides
And
Yes, it does burn, melt and fission when bundles of it are exposed to air.
He was saying it doesn't burn
Hot things burn in air
