Do you have any evidence a submarine conducting normal operations has been detected with a gravimeter?

The degausser is a pier-like structure constructed at shore facilities for submarines. Here is a degausser for the largest US submarines: https://www.google.com/maps/place/30°46'44.3%22N+81°29'30.6%...

The article previously posted concerns design of a reactor for inherent stability. What you are thinking about is called active control. Here is a paper investigating such control of a fusion torus: http://scitation.aip.org/

Nothing if you are using odeke-em's client. In my experience it's more useful than Google's desktop sync client.

I'm skeptical that this small reactor rivaled the Uranium program. If your rush 239Pu production, you end up with a product that is very difficult to purify, raises the probability of a fizzle, and generates thermal problems for the pi

You can make a bomb out of a little of this, and a little of that. A bomb requires much more than a critical mass anyhow.

I'm a nuclear safety analyst. I need more than a powerpoint to convince me that an untested technology is safer than a technology that has seen billions of dollars of investment in enhanced technology, engineering, modeling, etc; along

Please provide evidence that a Thorium reactor is safer. We have the means to make all the 238Pu we want. NASA just needs to pay commercial reactor operators to irradiate 237Np targets. This is a big problem, because NASA has very little fu

Iran was enriching Uranium, not producing Plutonium. Furthermore, this type of Plutonium is not what you desire for nuclear weapons material.

by cocoablazing 11y ago
238Pu doesn't have anything to do with nuclear weapons. It is a highly unwanted contaminant of weapons-grade Plutonium.
102.
by cocoablazing 11y ago
238Pu is always going to be problematic because of the fact that the target material is only available in the US in weapons-grade form. USG moved all of it to secure storage at INL, and are very cautious about any program to transport it fo

So justify it. What is the expected number of excess cancer fatalities, given an LNT model, the known activity of NASA RTGs, and the explosion rate of deep space launches? The people who protest these things expose themselves to orders of m

238Pu is only efficiently manufactured by activating 237Np.

Solar panels don't fit the bill for missions far from the sun.

No, the naturally abundant isotope of Thorium has 6 fewer nucleons. Why would building a special reactor for a program that has so little funding be justifiable?

by cocoablazing 12y ago
To me, it appears that your argument presumes something that you believe to be false. Do you believe the devs left because of losing interest, or because of the funding of the audit, or both? Do you have a reference for the devs leaving bec

They've had 0 technology for a millennium, so more properly they would be a revolutionary integral domain.

If the PRC solution was blocking the project pages, then Chinese users could just fork clones to circumvent the block. Forcing foreign organizations to anticipate some cost in supporting anti-censorship software is precisely about controlli

It could be users, contributors, time, money, or lines. Most or all of these apply to the difference between linux/git and average software. I don't accept it as an axiom that the biggest open source project in the world should be

I don't accept the argument: "Software is software". Why is GPL better than all other licenses, for all software?

The usefulness of the HP is principally in the application of the aDS/cft duality to otherwise intractable calculations. It doesn't have anything to do with the universe being virtual or computable. Perhaps you are thinking of ht

Some nuclear reactor instruments will respond in funny ways if you rub them. I never understood it, but some don't find it very funny.

No ABM system has demonstrated success against either MIRVs or deployed PENAIDS (much less 53T6), but more to the point BM's of any sort are not a first strike weapon (given US and RF radar nets, 24/7 US launch detection capabilit

What is your reference for this range assertion? OS intelligence says that US SLBM's can strike any target in Eurasia from either ocean. What is your reference for the assertion that Trident is vulnerable to ABM? RF has no operational

This is outdated information. FOBS are not deployed, and there are no US/NATO aircraft on alert. I don't know who you are speaking for regarding confidence in ABM's, but it's not the community of technical professionals
