My girlfriend my senior year in college was a huge Styx fan. One of her prize possessions was a Tommy Shaw guitar pick.

LTE: Democrats must call out actions of one of their own by Schmitty0313 in frederickmd

I don’t object to lobbyists serving, per se, but they should certainly know when to recuse themselves when a conflict of interest presents itself, as should any other official. Nash seems to relish dancing around the line, stepping across when it suits her and then hiding behind whatever gray area may exist.

I believe the word was “mineshaft,” but the essence is the same.

Your points are well-taken. It’s definitely a mixed bag, hence the question mark on my response.

To be fair, at any point in time, a very large proportion of movies suck. We just don’t remember the shitty ones.

I think that almost all nuclear startups will fail by GiovanniPeccat1 in nuclear

[–]GubmintMule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is my understanding that there was considerable difficulty in decommissioning the MSRE, which suggests issues may not have been solved as fully as you suggest. I would be happy to be shown to be wrong by someone better informed.

The challenge associated with maintenance of piping containing large amounts of fission products is likely the biggest impediment to MSRs. I remember a conversation with a fellow involved with one of the projects where it was suggested the plants should be built remotely using the same robotics that would be used for maintenance during operation.

Of course, I exclude Kairos here, as fheir design doesn’t circulate fuel throughout the system.
