No one wants to be blamed for an accident, everyone covers their ass when an accident happens, and in the quest for profits, safety is squeezed often beyond safe limits, you only have to ask aircraft mechanics to hear about the awful level of maintence that goes on there on a regular basis. Or the U...

The later stories hinted that most of it was thought to be stuck in the plumbing, though of course, some of it may have gone walkies, its hard to tell for sure if the paperwork isn't all in place. I'm trying to remember where this reactor is, a quick google search doesn't bring up anything, but I do...

Thats very interesting, and might explain why fusion research isn't being given the funding it could otherwise have, if indeed as you say, if it was developed, it would only increase the worlds arms race ability. Though thats not necessarly a bad thing, as if everyones got a big stick, it might make...

In the UK we have 'lost' plenty of the stuff over the years, and at times it is transported without any security at all. Having spoken with people who have worked in nuke plants, I was shocked to hear when they talked about casually dropping off contaninated stuff to home to burn in their local fire...

There was some talk about the fusion technology being used to do away with current nuclear waste, perhaps approach it from that direction, rather than say 'fusion', say 'waste destruction', at least then you might get funding, and profit from a commercial system which could then be applied to develo...

I had trouble a while ago convincing journalist friends of mine that this was real;

Broadband over gas piping.
Not helped when one of them phoned and no one answered either.

I remember hearing that fast breeder reactors are the way to go, but in the UK research in that area has I believe ended sometime ago. I certainly see a connection between more acceptance of fission leading to going the fusion route, simply because the vast majority of the public do not know the dif...
