We're trying to modernize acre-feet to Manhattan-fathoms, but the traditionalists won't have anything to do with it.
I thought Copenhagen Suborbitals was a brand of pot.

The whole thing has been turned into a gigantic cream-skimming operation.
I owned a TDI for 10 years. Guess what. You're gonna need garage space to work on it. I guarantee it.
The only thing more annoying than a computer is a computer that tries to be helpful.
I'm glad to hear that someone is trying to out-stupid *my* country.
wherein we find out that Monsanto has known it all along.
Probably they were hoping no one would find out until they' ready to market GMO humans that are resistant to it.
No! You're only allowed to worry about one or the other!
Really? If only there was some one out at sea on a boat who could corroborate that. . .
Anything that becomes molten will mix into the fuel and dilute it,
Not really. Anything that becomes molten, will pretty much vaporize, because Uranium melts at like 2000 F. If the Uranium is molten, everything else will boil away.
However: It's bollocks because the hole in which the uranium is burning, has fissures and crevases, and the Uranium would unevenly flow into small, tight spaces, spreading out and; ultimately diluting and cooling.
Experiments done at Argonne labs back a few years ago also suggested that the Uranium will form a cooler coating, as an outer shell. The core may remain molten, but the shell is cool enough to harden, and contain the molten core. The core may burn through the shell, but much of the mass will be left behind, as the molten part runs down into the burned-out cavity below, and the process repeats.
In any case, either of these scenarios would generate significant ongoing outgassing, and none of that has been observed at Fukushima; so it's likely the fuel melted and diffused and cooled. Just like Chernobyl.
I guess everyone's getting bored with the war on drugs, so now they're looking for a new menace to protect us from.

Crime doesn't pay for everybody.
Makes me wish I be a Chinee pirate. Besept I don't need Wind O'Tain, and I don't know how to say 'Arrrr' in Chinees. And I hear tell their ships are all junks.
