ag flame thrower is a very different thing, just a torch with flame inches long to maybe a foot

Most of the tens of millions of US gun owners don't wave them around; making a straw man for your flame thrower?

don't forget trench cleaning

no, there are different types of flamethrowers with differing fuels, see my other comment.

The Geneva convention only forbids flamethrowers in certain situations, look it up. Two armies roasting each other in a field is perfectly fine by the GC

The U.S. military still has flamethrowers and practices with them

There are different types of flamethrowers. Agricultural flamethrowers are legal but have a range of inches to over a foot. A military flamethrower throws a fuel gel mixture tens to hundreds of feet. Stage flamethrowers are for special effects and also have short range and non-sticking fuel. This article's device seems to be trying to extend the ag and stage effects end a little bit.

Tthey replace or repair reactor head (the lid if you will, which is removable for refueling, it has the complicated shape with holes for rods mechanisms, and such). I've not heard of any welding repair allowed on vessel itself in USA, that's pretty much the thing the NRC won't let you replace and the one thing that limits reactor life.

You mean like traditional signed release orders written on paper? No chance of forgery there...

Yes I have, was required in school. You missed a core teaching "the value of reproducible commodities and services reflects the relative difficulties of production counted in labour units". That's why we are talking of 3, count 'em, three providers. The difficulties of production are immense.

So you have no life other than tech things, how sad. You're unbalanced as human being.

You are right about that, even including all the trillions of stars the *average* density of the Milky Way is only 40 nucleons per cc (our best vacuum pumps do three hundred thousand molecules per cc!) That's a hella lot of mostly empty space

My my your brain goes in random directions, I was specifically addressing typical iron reactor vessel decommisioning concerns.

  So called "spent fuel" is a different topic, and the short story there is that it's a gold mine of energy that can be used in proper type of reactor, getting six or seven times the original amount taken out. It can thus be burned into waste that only takes decades to decay.

There is a book that says there must be more than three of providers of product that costs tens of billions of dollars to make? No there isn't. You have no point and your imagined "sources" are irrelevant to this matter.

The subject is tech jobs, in silicon valley. You're all over the board on irrelevant things

Something in the earth-moon plane and moreover in distant retrograde orbit (DRO - for stability on timescale of century) is "in the way" and even going the wrong way for conveniently getting to it. I know more about orbital mechanics than you could ever hope to as was my thesis, bring it on.
