For those that don't know what he means by containment, almost all reactor designs have a "vacuum building" built around the reactor, so in the extremely rare case an accident does happen, it can contain the escape of the radioactive steam. CANDU reactors, for example, utilize a dousing system to lower the pressure of the steam by condensing it.

Oh, I didn't think about that (I'm from Canada)

But funny enough, my dad works for the largest north american producer/distributor for laundry bleach and while we live in Canada he travels to the US frequently since majority of business is there.

He tells me all the time how he can joke with his customers about family members etc etc, but saying ANYTHING about Trump is like illegal. Pretty funny imo

Any joke that was too dark even for you / or you refrain from triggering the audience? When I'm joking with my friends it's usually recent events that stop me

I like the TedX talk by the way.
