Why the the British have a nasty habit of killing their Oil Platform workers?
Look at all the deaths. Thatcher and Bush let them slide around the EIR rules and permits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_Alpha Scotland wildlife perished in 1988 and it is a desert. The same will be in Louisiana. It is coming ashore and will kill everything. You’ll see.
What are your thoughts on the following four Bush signing statements?
March 9/ 06 The president can order Justice Department officials to withhold any information from Congress if he decides it could impair national security or executive branch operations. Dec 30/ 06 The president can tell researchers to withhold any information from Congress if he decides its disclosure could impair foreign relations, national security, or the […]

Do you think it is a good idea for the media to publish EVERYTHING?
In receiving the latest news from CNN Breaking News, via Yahoo!, don’t you believe this headline will just give possible terrorists stupid ideas? WASHINGTON (AP) The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it is unreasonable to expect operators of nuclear power plants to defend against terrorists crashing an airliner into a reactor. __________________________________________________ I see it as […]
Does this story about investigators buying Nuclear Materials make you feel safe?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070712/pl_nm/dirtybomb_sting_dc WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Undercover investigators, working for a fake firm, obtained a license to buy enough radioactive material to build a “dirty bomb,” amid little scrutiny from federal regulators, according to a government report obtained on Wednesday. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the license to the dummy company in just 28 days with […]

what could possibly happen to neutrons produced in a fission reactor?
Can anyone tell me about the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?
I want to know: The number of members The length of their term The major responsibilities, functions, activities. Major subdivisions Major issues confronting the commission
Nuclear Power Generator
Located in the nuclear core of fission reactor are fuel rods, moderator, cooling fluid, and control rods. Each fuel rod contains tiny pelets of uranium dioxide in which fission reaction occurs. The fuel rode is surrended by water which acts as moderator by colliding with the neutron and slowing them to a low thermal level. […]
Do conservatives want to do away with Nuclear Regulatory Commission?
It’s big government program which costs billions. And since some conservatives heat their houses with oil, gas, or electricity, why should they they pay anyway? Shouldn’t we have a free-market approach to fissile material?
Bill Gates-Backed Nuclear Power Startup, TerraPower, Gets $35 Million
Bill Gates-Backed Nuclear Power Startup, TerraPower, Gets $35 Million Nuclear power, that oft-maligned source of clean energy, got a boost earlier this year when TerraPower announced plans to team up with Toshiba to build a hot tub-sized traveling-wave nuclear reactor. Now TerraPower is moving even closer to commercialization with news that investors–including Khosla Ventures and […]

How does Nuclear Regulatory Commission keep waste material with a high level of radiation?
Explain why.
Do you think the nuclear fission reactor in France will implode on itself releasing a man-made star on earth?
I hear that they are building a nuclear fission reactor in France. The benefits to our society would be immence, but if it backfires could it possibly destroy our exhistance? I mean if it works we WILL have discovered a endless fuel source and our reaches will be greater than ever. But technically couldn’t it […]
Need some help answering questions about the Nuclear Regulatory Commission?
Hi, I need to know a few things about the NRC that I am not able to locate one the net, thanks for the help in advance. one is, Is the NRC an Independent executive agency, a regulatory commission, or a government corporation and explain why. second is, Is the NRC a line agency or […]
What role do the cadmium control rods play in a fission reactor?
What role do the cadmium control rods play in a fission reactor? a.The cadmium combines with spent uranium fuel to produce a non-radioactive product. b.The rods focus the neutrons toward the center of the reactor. c.The cadmium acts as a catalyst, enabling fission to occur at lower temperatures. d.The rods control the rate of fission […]
