3) There's no way radiation levels can be large enough to cause significant irradiation in several minutes. Absolutely none at all - primary cooling water is radioactive, but not that much (it's continuously monitored).
This is mostly true. Spent fuel pools can be pretty hot near new and old fuel. Also, the resin in demineralizers can be very raidioactive.
Most metals become brittle when irradiated.
Someone will be along with more details then I can recall offhand.
I would just design the plant to run with brittle metals from day one. Nothing that can't be solved with thicker walls (in many cases anyhow).
Modern reactors use a neutron shield that goes with the fuel basket. It can be replaced and greatly decreases vessel embrittlement by becoming the sacrificial element to first absorb/slow the errant neutrons.
The problem is with shutdown and startup. This needs to be done with control as things become harder and have less flex.
I work at a nuclear plant, we use NT4 for our Plant Process Computer. Service pack 5 btw.
We have a minimum wage law in the USA, it should be used for all labor. Internships should have the same rules as any other temporary job.
News Flash: Those generations paid into the fund huge sums of money, many of whom like my grandparents didn't even live long enough to collect a single penny.
It maybe interesting for you to know that most people they collect well beyond what they pay in. After 8-10 years people collect everything they've paid in. This is ONLY a count of retires, not including slugs who collect because they have phantom back pain or are "disabled" by an alcohol problem.
The argument isn't "right wing" as so much as facts. Please use facts.
Re-imaging is completely rational from a business perspective.
So is treating cancer vs curing it.
This makes me laugh. I'm sure the INTEL shareholders sure wish NVIDIA and VIA were making chipsets now, but since INTEL is the ONLY chipset maker for their CPUs they can't sell any CPUs right now. Intel is a CPU company that can't sell CPUs.
Hey INTEL, I went to a business school.... you now know about the risks of vertical integration. If you control all of your requirements and channels you better do a damn good job or you can hang yourself. This is a wonderful cautionary tale for all businesses.
Wow, POORLY designed system have issues under pressure. I can't believe it?!
This guy must be a highly paid consultant.
No, not every time, here's one:

OK before you like something you should know the content. This was NOT a suicide bombing. The argument was that almost all suicide bombers are muslims. You helped prove that point.
I just started!
I agree Richy.
Religion of peace? Or religion of PIECES.
I find the latter appears to be true more often than not. They enjoy being pieces.
As long as we get plastic seat covers.
Sounds like a systemic issue. If she was so frail that a 30 pound 4 year old could kill her she should of been in a facility. The kids shouldn't of been in a public place where they were a nuisance and a danger to others. That should probably be a fine of 20$. If you want to live in a place without the proper areas to ride bikes your kids don't get to ride bikes.
A Asus Oplay box or a roku box is still a better way to deliver content over wireless for this price.
At 30$ I'm a buyer.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
