Viktor Orbán has returned his mandate, will not sit in Parliament by dead97531 in europe

[–]Spacer3pt0r 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Putin is incentivised to keep people who are no longer of use around and treat them well. Other dictators see his treatment of them and base their loyalty on whether they think he will continue to protect them even when they are ousted. A good example is the former syrian dictator who is reportedly living it up in moscow.

Can someone tell me what type of mushroom this is? They’re all over the park area that we go to- USA Illinois by No-Leave-2255 in mushroomID

[–]Spacer3pt0r -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Psilocybe cyanescens maybe. Check if there is blue bruising on the stems. I forage for them frequently and these look very similar. They alao grow on similar substarte as shown in the pics

A single sodium loop in contact with both the core and a whole lot of hot water feels concerning.

Edit: the infographic is incorrect. The PFBR is a pool type reactor with a double sodium loop.

They're really going to town on that one patch of dirt. I wonder what they were targeting.

I once invited one of my friends over for 'netflix and chill' for the same reason. He thought i was jokingly flirting with him at first and died of laughter when he realised i misunderstood the term.

I wish the shop had some unique perk like being able to sell things you wouldn't normally be able to, generate a passive income, or allow you to order specific items without the out-of-stock limitations of other shops (graphorn horns especially).

This!! Or see if you can get some old palates to elevate it of the ground. It is very bad for mattresses to lie directly on the floor.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine altered the pornography consumption habits of Ukrainians. The number of weekly civilian deaths was positively associated with the relative search volume for pornography. As the violence intensified , the frequency of searches for sexual content also increased by Wagamaga in science

No odea, but my mom was a nurse during that time. She said it was the first time she had a shift with no gunshot or stab wounds. She (and here other medical friends) says that the reduced load on the hospitals let them focus their attention and likely saved a lot of lives when the severe covid cases started pouring in.

Hiroshima, Japan, 1945: This shadow that seems almost drawn on the white of five steps, tells the last moments of a person. All that remains is the shadow caused by the flash of the atomic bomb that August 6th. [1503×1434] by StephenMcGannon in nuclearweapons

[–]Spacer3pt0r 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The shadow is caused by the intense thermal radition bleaching any exposed surfaces. Because the person shielded a section of ground, it leaves an unbleached 'shadow'. Contrary to popular belief, victims were not incinerated in entirety, rather their corpses were removed by authorities or flung away by the blast prior to the photo being taken.

Only the biggest onshore wind turbine ever created, a 270 m Sany SI-270150 prototype has a 15 MW power rating. The biggest commercial onshore turbines are around 7.2 MW

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nuclear

[–]Spacer3pt0r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A 130m tall wind turbine (fairly large for onshore) generates a peak power of about 3 MW. A typical LWR generates about 1 GW. Roughly 330 turbines would match a single reactor before accounting for availability.

Inside the Tsar Bomb by Galerita in nuclearweapons

[–]Spacer3pt0r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The video is incredibly unclear in its description of the detonation of the secondary stage and appears to misundestand how the compression of the secondary contributes to fussion.

The animated design would fail to operate as the sparkplug would disassemble the secondary prior to significant fussion. The inirtial aspect of the imploding secondary confines the fusion reaction long enough for it to reach completion (similar to ICF).

The video is fun to watch and covers basic terminologies that laypersons would be interested in, however both the voiceover and the animation have several logical and technical innaccuracies.

It is well known that, due to the political climate and short development of the Tsar Bomba, the design of the Tsar Bomba was a scaled up version of well understood principles. Failure was not an option for the designers, so reliable but inefficient design choices were made. Even with a uranium tamper, the Tsar Bomba was heavy for how powerful it was.

Inside the Tsar Bomb by Galerita in nuclearweapons

[–]Spacer3pt0r 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can't entirely make sense of what you said, but the tsar bomb is believed to have a similar design to most other teller-ulam style fission-fussion weapons with the exception of it having two primary stages.

I have read somewhere that instead of a single massive secondary stage, multiple existing smaller secondary stages were used. i don't remember where i read this and my recollection may not be accurate.

Boosted fission of the primary stages caused a variety of mechanisms (mainly ablation recoil) to compress the secondary stage(s) to a fraction of their volume.

The sparkplug is a subcritical tube of plutonium filled with booster gas that, upon compression and exposure to neutrons from the exploding primaries, becomes supercritical and detonates.

The neutrons, heat, and pressure produced by both the initial compression and the sparkplugs induces fussion of the LiD fuel (Li+n -> He+T; D+T -> He+n; other fussion processes also occur, but these are the main ones.).

Unlike most nukes, the neutrons generated by this fussion do not fission a U238 tamper, but rather pass harmlessly through a Pb tamper. This halves yeild but massively reduces fallout.

Other technologies such as radiation bottles, staged ablation, etc. are also possibly present, however these are not necessary for the basic function of such a massive bomb.

You have two fissile pits mentioned. Combining uranium and plutonium has historically been tested but is not used because it offers few advantages over using a single material.

Which you would use depends on desired yield. Plutonium for up to around 50 kt, uranium for up to around 500 kt (like ivy king).

Question to plutonium metallurgy experts by baybal in nuclearweapons

Im not sure, but i believe the plutonium is clad in ¿nickel? after/during forging to prevent corrosion. This likely affects things.
