By same analogy, classical coal plants use millennia-old technology and that sounds even less ideal.
If I recall correctly, the dimensions of the early universe in these kinds of models depends on counting the degrees of freedom of the universe. At high energies, everything becomes an internal degree of freedom, hence…
You're allowed to have a monopoly, you're not allowed to abuse it. If Apple ordered mp3hardware stores to stop selling other brands or Apple would raise it prizes, that would be abuse.
"We postulate the density continuum defined by the rule R03/T02 = R3/T2" T is in seconds, R is in meters. So R3/T2 is in cubic meters per square seconds. A density is something per cubic meters. How exactly do 'square…
Experimental or not, it has among the least accidents per KWh. 500 is a big enough number for some reasonable statistics.
Radiation is not a static. If a particle happens to decay at your detector when it is detecting, you'll get a massive spike. As the radiation changes between hours, places and the specific isotopes decaying, it's near…
Not only are the units arbitrary, the forecast never goes above "1".
White smoke is not a sign of criticality...
It almost certainly didn't went critical. Spent fuel doesn't have enough U-235 for criticality. Moreover steam (boiling water) isn't a very good neutron moderator. I can't do the calculations but I seriously doubt it.…
This may actually be true. Uranium decays into radioactive radon sooner or later. Radon is a gas so it escapes the earth. People breathe the stuff and inside the lungs it decays into polonium-210 sooner or later. By…

The one death reported so far was when the earthquake hit and he got crushed by a crane.
How, exactly, is this a disaster compared to the greater surroundings? Preliminary results are one death, some injured people and perhaps 10 people who'll die from cancer in 20 years time who otherwise wouldn't. Compare…
for 4. Tritium is a beta emitter. Wherever it ends up when it decays, the radiation won't get very far.
As he is already dead, it won't be radiation that killed him. Radiation poisoning needs days to do its ugly work. For the person to die within hours, the containment must have failed to allow sufficient radiation out.…
my guess: 400 times the daily dose is what you would get from natural radiation in a year. This amounts to about 2 milli Sievert depending on where you live. Articifial radiation of which 95% comes from medical scans is…
The average radioactive dose a person gets per year is about 3,6 to 5 milliSievert a year (for Belgium) of which 2,6 mSv from natural sources, 0,95mSv from medical examinations and 0,05mSv from industry (of which…
The smallish difference is irrelevant unless you care about 720p movies. Double dpi would not be irrelevant as the results are much more obvious to the eye in most situations.
Except that we got ten times more thorium than uranium in the crust.
Not necessarily. As long as other byproducts like Plutonium 241 etc. are created in reasonable measures as well, the resulting Plutonium will be way to unstable to use in bombs. Any Uranium reactor produces Pu-239 but…
I am guessing that these features are 'simply' a recompile away if the software uses Apple API's for all its document handling.
As far as 26 July '45, the Japanese refused to surrender. The guys that forced Japan in to submission were Little Boy and Fat Man and they had an academic background. The only leadership required from the 'sport…
