The canisters that ship the waste are impact tested and yadda yadda yadda. They have to withstand heat, drops, etc. all sorts of stuff.
Used up nuclear fuel wont go critical. The k effective of all the waste to go in the mountain must be 0.95 or lower. The cores must be designed such that they wont go critical. Here is more:
The effective multiplication factor (keff) is less than or equal to 0.95 under assumed accident conditions, considering allowance for the bias in the method of calculation and the uncertainty in the experiments used to validate the method of calculation

Here is an FAQ of almost every possible question i could think of that anyone could ask. http://www.ymp.gov/documents/feis_a/index_v3 .htm
I hope these words have sparked your intrest to read on. I would suggest reading these materials.
do not take the path that most travel, instead go where there is no path and make one. But, you better be prepared to swallow your pride, fall on your face a million times, and learn to put faith in God. College is the answer for most of us, but for some I realize it isn't. Wherever you go, be confident in the descions you make; be able to back them thourughly (i cant spell right now, sorry). No one has ever made it with help. Embrace the ideas of others no matter how negligble you may think they are. If you decide to breez through this message, please just read this one thing and remember it forever. The most intelligent people are the ones who realize they know nothing.
You may understand that right now or blow it off.. but if you dont.. pray that someday you do.
How does our 'lion cash' chip work at PSU? anyone konw? I konw the cash amount is kept on the card. This I am sure of. If you loose the card, they say you loose the money. I am positive of that. I would be intrested though in seeing how that chip works.
I am at Penn State now and majoring in computer engineering with the same issue. I just went to the Coop seminar today and learned of even more stuff I can do. They did point out that once your any type of engineer, your an engineer. Plain and simple. You just have a focus in EE for example. I am a computer engineer minoring in physics. I want to satelite systems or missle guidance and found this to be the right twist. The best you can do to find out you niche is to get EXPERIENCE. get as much as you can in anythign.. this wil help you find your way!
I worked for a company this past summer who had DSL through ALLTEL. I dont konw if ALLTEL set up the routers, but the default password to get into them was cisco. Unbelievable. I needed the information to open up ports to run a server, but anyone could turn an entire companys internet with like a handful of keystrokes.
A book containing data structures may be good. It can actually show them the applications of OOP. A book that I use the cover an incredible about of material is An Introduction to Data Structures by Nyhoff. Very complete book, but way to much stuff to ever cover in one semester.
i think qbasic serves as an awesome teaching tool. Its great because it lacks certain things such as mouse and menu systems. Intergrating a mouse and then having it interact wtih a menu system teaches the user a lot. You really learn how gui interactions take place on a higher level.
It used to be that programmers tried to see what could be done in QBASIC. i can remember seeing a wolfenstein 3d world of some sort. there was also talk of the internet sockets. Anyone know whatever happened to that deal? I think QBASIC is great for begginer to advance programming.. by manuplating memory with peek and poke, you can really accomplish alot.. Even more with the use of DLL's too. I am just wondering what the programmers of today are bringing to teh QBASIC world.. What programs have i missed in the recent years.
There is no logically way of make a new 'Internet'. The physical lines are laid that carry data and they will always be. What we need is another network. A user could choose to log onto the network they wish. The new network, would be regulated though and even independent. Network could compete with each other even.
I can only see a sort of VPN currently being setup. I am very intrested in setting up another 'Internet' and would like to become more involved. Can anyone help me?

Almost every older HP i have worked on (3-4 years ago) has had time problems similar to this. I am not sure what the link is if any.
