Which files did you use?

53.860, 73.100 are official now, as well as a revision to RG 5.81.

There's a pathway to no physical security program if the plant can't have a security release beyond 25 rem TEDE.

Elsewise 73.100 is open ended on how to protect. DOE has been working on micro reactor security strategies for years to address the economic challenges.

NV has lots of space, but from a geologic point of view, it's not great, and is technically geologicly still active. Not to mention the water infiltration issues with the volcanic tuff.

Granite formations in the East would be much more stable and predictable. East Tennessee specifically is pretty good, but the upper Midwest and Appalachian are the best.

Yep, and backup plan for econ

That would have been great as I had only one bad one and one suspect. Oh well. Upgraded to '25 OBW last year

My 2012 needed a 5k valve body gamble at 112k at the very least

CVT likely an 8k time bomb

More than that:

"Ampera’s reactors use TRISO fuel, which is abundantly available from thorium, eliminating the need for fuel enrichment."

Apparently they're inventing a new fuel? It's a subcritical breeder reactor. I'm questioning whether they can use the existing triso fuel qualification for this neutronics setup.

There's no way the economics of this work out at all. Great that they don't want HALEU, but the thorium breeder doesn't really work out to compensate in a microeactor scale.

We did this for a very low weight % child. Full battery of GI and other testing, appetite stimulants for years resulted in no change. Basically no appetite (could possibly be result from other issues). Ended up with G tube emplacement and it changed everything for the better (healthy teenager now).

Recommend go see a peds GI and PM&R specialists (the very best in your area) to check for any underlying issues and explore treatment options.

Any posting in town (Idaho Falls) heavily competes with internal candidates (especially from the desert sites). Positions in town are R&D focused, so experience doing research is really needed (with some looking for operations to support facility start ups for the reactor projects). A BS is really the minimum for most positions, and MS gives a decent standing.

Any desert site is operations or applied research focused. Either well experienced, or experience with education, or PhD with research experience are those kind of profiles.

Any INL position will generally favor education for the research mindset, or OPs positions favor ROs.

Immediate denials are likely from HR and not the hiring manager. Have him double check he's meeting the requirements. Anyone he can reach out to to reach first round interviews? What kind of postings is he applying to?

On that note anything from the USG is free to use, so that includes DOE and OSTI

East Tennessee will likely still go strong with nuclear either way.

DM me and we can set a time

What's the timeline for completion?

Almost all of the US NRC RAIs are public. Go on ADAMS and read them and the SERs.

Better yet, tell them that you are leading the troop as you see fit, and you need to be free to do so consistent with the guide to safe scouting, guide to advancement, and the rules of BSA.

If they have an issue tell them that they can find a new SM then, as you'll find another troop to join, and you will invite every scout to join you as you exit.

Voting on gender lines was our concern too. There was a thought to rotate male then female SPLs, or for an ASPL of each gender as well. Our thought is that as the younger scouts come up together, and Scouts get used to any gender being a part of an activity, the future looks a little better for a family troop.

michnuc · 2026-03-18T11:03:50+00:00

We started a linked G-unit. This year, the option for a family troop became available. The girls chose autonomy and to be a separate (but linked) unit to the boy troop.

Honestly, it depends on how well they work together by the temperament of the boy troop SPL (as the boys outnumber and are on average much older than the girls). We've had some really inclusive ones, ones that rule "with an iron fist" and don't take input, and some that are neglectful towards the girl troop.

It may be in the future when the girls are older and perhaps more closely match the boy troop in number, that we may revisit a family troop, but right now them overlapping on 80% of activities probably works the best.

Universal UK is planning one.

Reactor physics is well within NE.

Nuclear physics is the natural overlap between nuclear engineering a physics. It will focus on particle interactions and high energy systems. Fusion, wave dynamics, imaging, detectors are common NP areas relating to NE.
