"1) Rick promised to release all information if he could. " Nope. Never said that. Rick has always been consistant with <sic> "I would tell you something but the navy doesn't want me to". Art's quote from him is another restatement of that. Nobody ever said he said he would "release all". "2) The re...

There is no conspiracy. You ignore that Dr. Nebel has made multiple statements, well posted and reposted all around here and other places, where he says he would like to share, but the navy will not let him. The latest of such to surface was from Art. He has both implied and stated the navy has refu...

They said the final wicket was for them to give EMC2 an opportunity to claim proprietary as they are a private company contracted for support. That's what NAVAIR lawyers told you. NAVAIR lawyers don't fund the project. True, after the NAVAIR Lawyers consulted with the contracting POC's and received...

"Speculative. We have no idea what internal discussions took place. Also, even if that were true refusing a FOIA doesn't mean anything other than they refused a FOIA, which they were legally entitled to do. It doesn't mean they won't, at some time of their choosing, release the data. If I were in EM...

I anticipate the FOIA appeal to be submitted within the week. It is focused to points previously discussed here. 1. Peer Review 2. Dropped Patents 3. Statements by EMC regarding it is not us it is the navy blocking release. 4. No specific and detailed design nuances were requested, only end of contr...

The point made by Chris, Art and others, is that Dr. Nebel always said it was the DOD/Navy's call on data release. The FOIA was then submitted, and the FOIA Denial was based soely on EMC2's request for withholding based on Proprietary Commercial Data. This has raised the question of Dr. Nebel's vera...

The "Knobs" discussion (aka "Art and Rick, love at first site" :shock: ) from Cosmic Log: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/12/1136887.aspx Rnebel responded; "1. The theory says that you can beat Bremstrahlung, but it's a challenge. The key is to keep the Boron concentration low compare...

I think the most pressing issue is whether Bremsstrahlung prevents a polywell from breaking even (as Todd Rider thinks), or not (as Bussard thought). I.e. loss of energy in x-rays (as opposed to loss of particles). Have any of the results so far addressed this? I think the experiments so far haven'...

A1. I always looked at it as a shield between me and ECF 8) First Street Bar And Grill, near the railroad track underpass in town. The other bar was closed by the cops for drug sales. I don't remember the name. I had an AUDI 5000S for primary transport then, and a CanAm 250 for stupidity. Great plac...

If you google map NRF Idaho, you can get a nice sat view of the complex.

I am surprised they let you in, fear of spreading contamination from S1 and all. The test building is/was one of the largest enclosed volumes in the US. I certainly do not miss the bus ride, although it was a garuanteed nap after a long night of drinkin' in I.F. S1W was time distance and shielding c...

Pleased I am sure... 8) I agree, but given the current methodology of the navy program, they would probably go with what they know. It would add a lot of overhead to retool the training pipeline and stand up MSR than to stick with PWR. They would also want to build an MSR prototype and run it throug...

I never saw WB-6 on Ebay...

Ahh, the good old days of temperature inversions at in the basements at NRF/INEL. Radon alert, Radon Alert, Radon Alert...
A nostalgia moment for me...sorry...

100MW nuke plant = 25MW (give or take) usable power. I would like you to meet my friend...Carnot. The other issue is that magazine space for munitions storage does not equal space for a primary and secondary system in support of a nuke plant. If you gave up the Vertical Launch Modules, (and thus you...
