I agree, strictly speaking the AP series are Gen III+, the passive safety feels like better, but perhaps I'm just confused with our work on the PBMR.

The nice thing with the MSRs are the power desnsity is up in the same league as PWRs unlike the PBMRs.

Exploit yellowstone's thermal potential to prevent it from blowing (if that could actually be achieved), what an idea! Think the politicians could sell this.

I suggest you guys study the AP1000. As an insider, it is quite intresting, pwr with passive safety, whether it is Gen III+ or Gen IV will depend on your viewpoint on what it takes to qualify for Gen IV.

Yep, looks to have the same motivation as the ITER project, waste a lot of money and keep people occupied and busy instead of doing more useful stuff.

drmike: Have you tried paraview or opendx?

Most shelf ones are square, if one could get horse shoe ones with the straight ends chopped off, possibly. I once ordered 100 very small ones: 2x3x10 mm, cost me about a half a euro a piece in todays money for a halbach brushless motor I wanted to build. For this type of application one wants bigger...

Hi all, When I read the suggestion in this thread regarding the use of permanent magnets it got me thinking, so I used femm401 to do a few quick simulations of the whole round magnet idea, using various halbach layouts. The app I used can be found at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/femm/ it is ...
