You use two seperate systems. One for contaminated water and one for clean water.
The primary (or contaminated) system is just a loop. You heat it (in the reactor), take the energy out (in a steam generator) and condense the water for reuse. It remains under pressure and never boils. It never leaves the primary system and is reused.
In the steam generator you have primary piping and secondary (non-contaminated) water. In the steam generator the primary's heat is given off to the secondary. The water from each system never meets.

The pharmacist replies "the 3 packs are for high school kids, twice on Friday and once on Saturday.

Actually there was a Plymouth Volare back in the late 70s. My parents owned one of those. What a major piece of crap.
I had my first accident in one of those, before I was even old enough to drive. Thought I'd do my parents a favor and back it into the garage for them before a snowstorm. Hit the side of the door with it.
Tell that to my father, yesterday his dog was attacked by the neighbor's dog. Then the dog turned on my dad. My dad used a gun to defend himself...FROM A DOG
I've had the same charger for about two years, the thing is great. Plus the optional car charger cord makes this even better (although I had to run a constantly hot fused feed to my cigarette lighter).
One thing about NiMH, they need to go through about 3 dicharge/charge cycles before they come up to full capacity.
Discover Magazine just did a story on something like this. Unfortunately the full story is only available in dead tree format. If you wait until next month the older article will be available. You can probably check it out at your Dentist's office like I did if you feel like getting a filling.
EnergyInovations is working on a small version. From the Discover article it discusses how they refined the stirling engine with the best tradeoffs of manufacturing costs to effiency. IIRC they are also making this small enough to make it fit on a roof top.
Geek fact of the day: A stirling engine is an external combustion engine that runs off the pressure created when one side of its engine gets very hot while the other side stays cool. The greater the temperature difference, the greater the pressure, the greater the energy generated.
When I was in subs a few years ago we already seemed to be stretched pretty thin, although I'm sure that they give carrier protection the highest priority for submarine missions. Usually only one sub in the CTF was directly protecting the carrier, the other one was taking off checking out interesting things for the CTF.
We had a hard time hearing some of the old Russian diesel boats. When they are running on their batteries they are extremely quiet.
Nuke boats by comparision are very loud, steam ringing through pipes, lots of pumps to support the reactor.
The old Russian boats are a dime a dozen out there anymore, I think even the Iranians have them. I think a well thought out attack by a well maintained boat could really cause some trouble for a carrier without a good escort. That's the key, most of these Russian boats are in disrepair anyway and run by countries that can't maintain them.
I was part of a carrier battle group, in a submarine.
What I'm saying is ensure that they do have that protection.
I thought I would expand this a little.
Our boat would go into training exercises with ASW aircraft and ships. Our rules required us to run faster than normal and run shallow, only then could the surface ships hear us. Granted, we probably had the quietest subs in the world at the time, but IMHO I think a quiet, slow, deep running submarine can defeat surface ASW any day. Just a little patience by a good captain, who knows he's not going to escape the CTF, and the carrier is an easy target.
From the Pilot Online article Though they tout the Reagan as far more powerful than any threat it might face, Navy leaders insist that the massive cost of an even more powerful ship is easily justified.
They better make sure they commision at least two submarines to escort this thing. The only ship capable of really fighting a submarine is another submarine. The suface ship guys may say they can handle this role, but they can't. If this thing isn't escorted by at least two 688s it will never hear the modern diesel boat running on batteries that launches 4 torpodoes on it.
What will the cockpit crew be like in the commercial aircraft of the future?
Pessimists in professional circles already know the answer: A pilot and a dog. Yes, you heard me correctly: The pilot's only job is to feed the dog and keep him awake; the dog is supposed to make sure that the pilot doesn't touch anything.
The system itself works, in some ways, like a car speaker at a drive-in movie theater.
How many people are going to get that reference? The drive-ins have been gone from Eastern PA for around 10+ years now. The cheap porno one was the last to go in this area, and for years before that they broadcast their signal over low power AM.
Also a horribly trained crew, they had no clue of the effects of a Xenon transient and was would happen when a whole bunch of neutrons from fission burned it away.
That would be a Russian submarine I guess, they knew if you lightened up the sub with less shielding it would go faster. Crews are cheap, just conscript more.
I spent about 4 years on a US sub. The only thing we all noticed in common was that every guy who received over one REM lifetime dose all had girl babies.
I left the Navy with about 1.2 REM lifetime, I have a little girl.

Doctors are warning that laptop computers may inflict a burn even through clothed skin, after the bizarre case of a Swedish scientist who scorched his penis and testicles while writing a report in his armchair.
The unnamed 50-year-old father of two had balanced the computer on his lap while he wrote the report at home, taking about an hour to do it, according to a letter published in the next issue of the British medical weekly The Lancet.
The following day, he started to develop painful blisters on his foreskin and scrotum, which became infected but eventually cleared up without the need for antibiotics.
Laptop manuals usually advise users not to use the computer while its base is resting directly on exposed skin, as heat can build up if the device is left on for a long time.
In this case, however, the patient had been wearing trousers and underpants.
The tale "should be taken as a serious warning against use of a laptop computer, in a literal sense," said the letter's author, Claes-Goran Ostenson of the department of molecular medicine at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute.

Let's see...mini-microsoft announces he is going to take a break and now we get this. Insightful but damning the bureaucracy that Microsoft has become.
But, that's too obvious, right?
I run iGuidance on my PocketPC, I was running it under WM5 on my Axim x50V, until I realized that bluetooth support for WM5 is terrible.
iGuidance has been working great for me so far.

Supposedly pretty good, it boots off a floppy or CD so it looks like it will run under Linux. I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet.

The place where I bought mine says to keep your batteries in a sealed bag in the freezer when not in use, they self-discharge about 40% in about 30 days at room temperature.

Laptop burns boffin's penis

Doctors are warning that laptop computers may inflict a burn even through clothed skin, after the bizarre case of a Swedish scientist who scorched his penis and testicles while writing a report in his armchair.
