That’s what I figured, they never planned this and had no way to vent outside the structure.re: #131 Dark_Falcon

The vast majority of it is just normal hydrogen. However the presence of Cesium indicates that the fuel rods have partially melted, mixing fission byproducts with the water, which is where the radioactive iodine and any tritium would come from. These boiling water reactors have no secondary coolant loop like we’re used to, the water that cools the reactors also cycles the turbines. It’s a fucked up design.

Thanks for the info. I’m glad our reactors are better built than those the are in peril. Any ways to cool the cores that haven’t been tried? (Not pushing, just trying to brain-storm).
