Math is FTA, detailing the costs of the program ...

CANDU runs on unenriched fuel, if you want it to. Or the 'waste' from other reactors. Advanced (meaning Gen 3+) CANDU runs on slightly enriched fuel. If you are starting fresh with no legacy reactors to fuel, there is zero need for a massively expensive and overdone enrichment program. Take that into account along with the history here so far (enrichment levels, posturing, Russia's offers, etc.). To me, anyways, that strongly suggests that there is an ulterior motive to this particular enrichment program.

This was by far not the start of this kind of thing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... for an example.

All of the math presented here for "fuel", plus the existence of the CANDU reactor: how it's sold, it's fuel cycle, and its waste profile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Something with a half life that long is pretty much a non-issue. Do you understand what half-life (not from Valve Software) means?

Please tell me which element you're worried about. How about the uranium in the granite surrounding Denver?

Too late, too bad. Our Keurig bit the dust shortly after the DRM pods hit the shelves. We didn't replace it. We won't replace it. One more drop in the lost customers bucket for Keurig, but enough of them add up to a flood.

This seems like it would be incredibly simple to analyze the second time around. Offline backup into a VM and snapshotting would render the auto-destruct very educational.

I believe Ammo Box is implied in his "Short of revolution, we have done everything we can." statement.

As of right now, the count sits at 8,973.

I know I'm getting whooshed here, but ... logarithm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R...

Once someone is willing to die to accomplish their goal, I maintain that there is no 100% foolproof method for preventing an attack (either on themselves or others).

More just a comment to illustrate that, once they got the locking heavy cockpit doors in place, the rest of the 'preventing a hijacking' problem was mostly taken care of. It is, however, a REALLY good reason to stay buckled in (tight) at all times unless you're up for the bathroom.

All of the planes flying can handle going from 1g to -1g. Up / down / up / down / up / down until anyone who isn't strapped in has been beaten senseless (or to death) by the plane's floor and ceiling. Passengers need to do very little.

Request Tracker by Best Practical is quite powerful, although it can be a real pain in the butt to get installed due to Perl.

Yes, why do anything ever if there is something better eventually behind it? You are starting to skirt the edge of stupidly fanatical. If we have a technology NOW that allows us to effectively halt our contribution to climate change, we do that. While we are doing the thing that we know how to do, we're also researching how to do the thing that we'd like to be doing - solar in the near term (100 years), fusion out past that.

My point about coal & natural gas is made to illustrate the huge gains to be made in divorcing ourselves from coal as rapidly as possible. Almost anything is better. "Better" is what we're all supposed to be working towards - my better is a drastic reduction in dispersed pollutants from energy production (mercury, ash, atmospheric uranium, CO2, etc.). What's yours? Solar isn't worth doing just for solar's sake, there needs to be a reason.
