You just have absolutely no proof of what you're talking about. I have. In surrounding fire stations, radiation detectors alarmed, the state just had them shut off. In france. In France, thyroid doses got up to 600mSv for 1 year children : http://s1.e-monsite.com/2009/02/07/01/53498822numeriser0008-jpg.jpg I live near one of the highest of the listed sites, and althrough my thyroid was not affected, i had heavy nose bleeding, and i have 4 of my friends (also small children at the time) who have had the thyroid removed before being 20. Just continue to takl nonsense...
No In france, people were told there is no radiation. But there was. A lot. And still, hundreds of thousands of children had thyroid deseases, vomiting, nose bleeding, etc. I am one of them.
>>> Three Mile Island had a containment building and a generally less hair-raising design than the RBMK reactors... Fukushima had a containment building and a generally less hair-raising design than the RBMK reactors. Yet, 4 reactors exploded (included a discharged one), and spread more radiation than Tchernobyl.

They might be allocated the bandwidth, but this means they are responsible for interference. Of course they probably respect the FCC requirements, but they still need to consider interference, aqnd this one is an obvious case. Transmitting 42 dBm or so a few MHz away from a band such as GPS, and that on the scale of a nation IS a bad case of interference.
I expect the project to fail anyway because the handset manufacturers have no way to implement that band in a suitable phone with GPS. This means expensive hardware in each compatible phone. Did you look at the RF HW of a typical phone ? it's a spagetti of PAs and filters. This band would mean passing from 2 RF paths to 3, 50% price increase. Furthermore, putting another antenna is hopeless, and the phone will jam it's own GPS, if available. Nobody in the industry wants such a monster, except Lightsquared.
For civilian GPS receiver, who are more sensitive due to a design nore vulnerable to interference (first LNA before the first filter), they will be affected. GPS performance will be unacceptable in some places close to antennas, and probably compatible handsets operating in the vincinity will affect them also.
Th232 decays emitting alpha radiation, which makes it safe to handle with gloves, but will assure you cancer if inhaled. Furthermore, the most dangerous stuff are the fission products.
There is no such thing as a "completely passive cooling system" for a system that gives out a few GWth in a few cubic meters. Perhaps by dropping it into the pacific, even then it will quickly sink into the ocean floor, stopping convection.
>> First: Say it with me. Nuclear reactors ARE NOT nuclear bombs. Yep. There is a different goal. But a nuclear reactor can go prompt critical, and this means an explosion, exactly what happened at Tchernobyl. There is a conceptual difference, i agree. But it's a bomb.
Furthermore, grouping together 10's of time a critcal mass IS dangerous. The excess reactivity will make an eventual prompt critical runaway much more rapid and powerful than SL-1 or Tchernobyl. Could come in the kilotons range, eventually. This is why this change of scale is dangerous. Of course you have first to have a prompt criticality. I cannot rule such a possibility out, but i'm not an expert of this type of reactors.
Wrong. There are many, many problems with thorium. To begin with, this substance is more chemically and radiologically toxic than Pu. So having it molten 24/365 inside corroding tubes is pure suicide for a whole land.
"bill gates" and "nuclear reactor" In the same sentence is really not good. "bill gates", "cheap nuclear reactor", "china", what can possibly go wrong ?
Seriously, in this kind of monster, only 1/10th of the fuel is supposed to be active at any time. Furthermore, they want to use low enriched U, so they need even more. I would guess, from a 150ton fuel for a typical GWe device, you will here have like 5000 tons of fuel. As soon as this becomes instable, all the "dead mass" will become reactive(despite the poisons), and you will have a never seen before 5000 ton U bomb. (as opposed to a few kg in a nuke bomb)...
Wrong Most of the critical stuff is outside the containment as well. The containment is designed to contain radioactivity inside, not as a security fend.
Have you ever tried to damage a coal or hydro plant ? Whatever you do in a hydro plant, you CANNOT flood an entire region (except if you bring in a few tons of explosives)
On the other side, with nuke, any small error can make a country inhabitable for thousands of years. all you need to do is damage a sensor and it's backup, and control is lost.
>> How long would it take to actually penetrate the containment building?
It's not needed to penetrate the containment to show that security is zero It's not needed to penetrate the containment to sabotage a nuke plant.
The most vulnerable part is the wires running in open shafts. damage them, and you have a time bomb. You will even not be catched, because everybody will fight the melting reactor.
