What could go wrong? Try to find someone who has lived in Korea, esp. rural area. People who can be very devoted to their principals. Family being held just in case.
Blame the cold war and american commitment to nuclear armament.
There has to be a civilian Uranium/Plutonium industry to supply the weapons industry.
Thorium cannot be weaponsized.
Damn communists!!
They just have to remove that key from the keyboard. You know, the one that massively crashes the entire system. Poor judgement to have that key there.
Yes, it is likely that Sony will NEVER live down the installation of a rootkit on unsuspecting clients computers. So many otherwise responsible people will feel no sympathy for them, in fact they may ENJOY seeing Sony twist in the breeze. Unfortunate for their customers, but it shows how unwise it may be to be a Sony customer
The thing is, even if they are both based on arbitrary fundamental measures, SI units are self-consistent, while imperial measurements are not. So a lot of arbitrary constants are required in the US that are not needed elsewhere.
...and this self-consistency has exactly what advantage, please?
For the average user, there will be no advantage. And years of a confusing transition. Sure, future generations may benefit, but what are the clear advantages? Do you remember the aborted transition in the 70's with highway signs in kilometers. Failed.
What do you expect? To admit that an engineering challenge cannot or should not be attempted would be...cowardly, unprofessional, and reflect badly on engineering in general. Go Nuclear!!!
Never mentioned are the many deaths caused by animal attacks while gathering firewood. Think of how many deaths would be avoided if people warmed themselves beside a nice warm nuclear fire rather than depending on wood. Not to mention deforestation.
I agree that all our political parties suffer from limited integrity. Everyone, I think realizes this. What we really need is for someone who chooses to restate this obvious point to devote some research to finding some political organization somewhere that can be held up as an example of good behavior. If everyone is superior, no one is superior, when everyone is inferior...
Seems to the general public I guess, that for some reason statements regarding nuclear safety are automatically suspect, for some reason. Greed? Paranoia? Stupidity? Almost certainly both sides are driven by the same emotions.
"The takeaway should be that nuclear power plants need to be upgraded to keep up with the times..."
So, it is acknowledged that the decisionmakers were really too stupid to realize this?
The "takeaway" is that the decisionmakers in nuclear construction are not to be trusted.
"And as I said yesterday, once we get the public over that fear, we still have to address the *real* problems of Nuclear: What to do with the waste, and how to stop cheap bastard energy corporations from cutting safety corners in the name of profits."
Haven't you got it backwards? Once the problems of what to do with waste, and how to stop cheap bastard etc... Then the public will get over it's fear.

Do you really think you will get this? Anybody believer it will happen?
So who shall decide which benefit/risk scheme we will have? The Central Committee or the people?

No, actually in Islam, it is not allowed to even TOUCH pork, unlike Judaism, where it IS strictly dietary.

But is there no moral or ethical consequences of NOT shouting fire in a theatre, when you know there is one? Which is more insidious?
Yes, of course it would be a really difficult transition for you, but future generations would be so thankful to you for your sacrifice.

Yes, as explained by Stephen Hawking in "The Grand Design". Great book, if anyone hasn't read it yet, do so.

Quakes and tsunamis are not preventable. Nuclear accidents are hopefully preventable. So when one happens, some humans f up.

marbles? ping-pong? hide-and-go-seek? dodgeball? Are these games given tax relief?
Very low power usage. I guess some windows updates go through IE, but nothing else.
Energy production will inevitably lead to some human casualties. Who is going to decide by what means these deaths occur? You?
Seems to the general public I guess, that for some reason statements regarding nuclear safety are automatically suspect, for some reason. Greed? Paranoia? Stupidity? Almost certainly both sides are driven by the same emotions.
Do you suppose that current designs include the ability to be upgraded when future safety advances are developed? I sure hope so.
Absolutely, this applies to any and all industries, and anyone who doesn't realize that this is a problem is incredibly naive.
