@@Ariccio123 FROM THE LINK MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: After the RTNS-II programs ended, the building had a variety of other uses, including molten salt operations to vitrify waste. After the facility was completely shut down, Livermore sealed the vacuum systems to prevent residual tritium from escaping and conducted a broader clean-up of contaminated areas to ensure environmental, health, and safety. Research conducted with RTNS-II served to inform recent fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility, including insights on how irradiation effects from fission and fusion might differ. The RTNS-II facility is one of Lawrence Livermore’s lower risk process-contaminated buildings with demolition not scheduled to begin until 2026.
Please add to this vid. You don't explain what purpose the doors served in the building. You don't explain what the building was used for in layman's terms. Otherwise its well done.
In this building they bombarded materials with an intense beam of neutrons (imagine a laser beam not of light but neutrons) and examined what happened to the materials hit by the neutrons. They did this to understand what happens to metals when exposed to neutrons, they wanted to know if metals will get more brittle, or soften, or will break more easily after exposure to a very intense beam of neutrons. They needed to know this as they wanted to know if nuclear reactor at power plants and future tokomaks (fusion reactors) can be operated safely, or if the metals and alloys used to make the reactor vessel might get brittle from bombardment by neutrons when the reactor was operating, and if so, how to prevent this from happening. Since neutrons are very penetrating and dangerous, especially because the beam they created was so intense, they needed a building with very thick walls and a giant door to keep the neutrons inside.
Let the American people know what you are doing to maintain our nuclear stockpile. Also, non classified breakthroughs that make better safer weapons. We will never be able to eliminate nuclear weapons so we need to improve them and increase the effectiveness of delivery and lethality. We live in a dangerous world and we must have superiority to prevent crazy advisories from attacking the US. Our government “leadership” is so confused they do not know what a man or woman is. How on earth can the American people trust we have mission focused scientists working to defend America?
Maybe read the physician's desk reference for a clew? Iirc it's within the 1st 50 pages. Don't fall for the anti science propaganda. Science is self correcting. Politics doubles down when facts interfere with its agenda.
Never fails to inspire, the American spirit of finding buckets of money for weapons, while the sidewalks crumble in every city ive been to. Truly inspirational 🫡🇺🇲🫡
If you spend money on sidewalks, the main beneficiary is the public. If you spend it on weapons, the main beneficiary is the arms merchant. Who spends more money bribing politicians?
Disappointed you didn't say anything about what's gonna happen to the doors....
Why would you do anything with them? They're so big it's probably cheapest to leave them 😆
If you follow the link they mention in the video, you can find out what's going to happen.

It doesn’t matter how well done a video is that doesn’t answer the questions it prompted in every viewers mind.

Wow, I guess I'm a "legacy" guy now. I used to work in B-231! It housed a lot of different engineering capabilities.
What's going to happen to the doors
Dude is gonna use them in his next renovation.
"Now that is a big door!"
I think that door is compensating for something :O
Bro im in the bodega buying a pack of newports, and to come here and see this, can we get some hoverboards?
After all it's only more Tax Money.

We are the crazy mofos in this world.
@@mrdavis3804 No, We're MAD.
Amazing gymnastics that you went from nuclear physics to gender politics.
The rest of the world is tired of living in a dangerous world... pity the US created this mess.

Lotsa money to kill no money to improve...
