point 1: Doesn't matter as the satellite receiver or VCR already are "tv tuners" according to the relevant laws/ordinances. you have one of those you are already obliged to pay the fee.
point 2: last time i checked only realmedia was available and no live (broadcast) streams. only recordings.
exactly that happens with sodium at temperatures in excess of 900C and such temperatures are easliy reached when things go wrong in a nuclear reactor...
BOOM! out goes the sodium vapour BOOM!
btw. the water in the secondary cooling system will be gone long before that happens...
another nice feature of sodium is it's self-drying. any water entering the system will decompose to sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), hydrogen gas and enough heat of reaction to ignite the hydrogen in an nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere. that's why france scrapped the super phenix breeding reactor....
