Our waterways are becoming more and more polluted due to PFAS, plastics, medicines, drugs, and new chemicals made by companies that just hand over the responsibility of cleaning to plants paid for by public moneys. Detecting the different chemicals and filtering them out if getting harder and harder. Could the simple solution of heating up past a point where even PFAS/forever chemicals decomposes (400C for PFAS, 500C to be more sure about other stuff) be alright?
No. Radioactivity isn’t like a disease. Specific particles are radioactive. If you remove it prevent contamination form the first place, there is no reason the water would become radioactive. Heat is just heat.
That made no sense at all. Do you think toxic water is 100 toxins or that when somebody is sick they become one big walking disease?
And “water can’t become irradiated” is a great take. So radioactive radiation has no effect on water whatsoever? “High energy particles don’t exist and they can’t hurt you🧠”
Ok so i think the disconnect here is that you are visualizing the water literally passing into the reactor and out the otherside.
In reality the water would pass around the outside of the shielding, where it is still plenty hot, but the radiation from the reactor isnt passing through.
This is more or less how a nuclear power plant operates today. We sont get the power directly from the reaction, we get it by using the heat fenerated to boil water to operate steam turbines. In fact, they are just steam engines with the coal replaced with nuclear fission.
When someone more knowledgeable than you is giving you good answers to your questions you should maybe show a bit more respect
