    no, there are different types of flamethrowers with differing fuels, see my other comment.

    The Geneva convention only forbids flamethrowers in certain situations, look it up. Two armies roasting each other in a field is perfectly fine by the GC

    The U.S. military still has flamethrowers and practices with them

    There are different types of flamethrowers. Agricultural flamethrowers are legal but have a range of inches to over a foot. A military flamethrower throws a fuel gel mixture tens to hundreds of feet. Stage flamethrowers are for special effects and also have short range and non-sticking fuel. This article's device seems to be trying to extend the ag and stage effects end a little bit.

    Tthey replace or repair reactor head (the lid if you will, which is removable for refueling, it has the complicated shape with holes for rods mechanisms, and such). I've not heard of any welding repair allowed on vessel itself in USA, that's pretty much the thing the NRC won't let you replace and the one thing that limits reactor life.

    Yes I have, was required in school. You missed a core teaching "the value of reproducible commodities and services reflects the relative difficulties of production counted in labour units". That's why we are talking of 3, count 'em, three providers. The difficulties of production are immense.

    My my your brain goes in random directions, I was specifically addressing typical iron reactor vessel decommisioning concerns.

      So called "spent fuel" is a different topic, and the short story there is that it's a gold mine of energy that can be used in proper type of reactor, getting six or seven times the original amount taken out. It can thus be burned into waste that only takes decades to decay.

    You make assertions without proof; I say two competitors is just fine. 70% of subscribers in the US have choice of two providers, good enough.

    $5 per GB to a profitable home business is nothing, by the way. If it's an issue your business is a waste of time
