Nuclear powered cars... what exactly could be wrong with that idea, just imagine some teenagers, drunk drivers or a police chase.An entertaining look at all the now loony looking applications

Quite a bit of misinformation there. For example the Elephants Foot is not eating its way down. Thunderf00t did a few videos on this without all of the hysteria:An interesting account of the Chernobyl disaster...
Yes but the futurists have it correct now. Back then they didnt know as much as they do now today, so now they really know accurately of whats ahead in the future. Thats why the right now is the smartest. Ok 5 seconds past so right now is the smartest. Oops another 5 seconds has passed that 15 seconds ago is so stupid hahaha what were they thinking.An entertaining look at all the now loony looking applications

It will require far greater care than prior efforts.On the other hand, nuclear power generation should be revisited. Advances in dry micro-reactor design have been great.
Heinlein's books that were referred to as his "juvenile works" were some of the first written science fiction I ever read. Space Cadet featured orbital platforms containing atomic bombs that were intended as deterrents.I remember reading about some of those projects, yes they were a wee bit before my time, but I loved history of technology, and so was aware of them.
Plus, I devoured Robert Heinlein's early books, many of which featured atomic powered rockets. Most notable, and detail driven, was Rocket Ship Galileo. But The Rolling Stones also featured atomic rockets, it was simply less central to the story.
I have often lamented, that thorium was not experimented with more-- I well understand the reasoning back in the Cold War days-- uranium based plants, had a lovely and desirable by-product: weaponizing uranium, whereas thorium did not.
Perhaps the indomitable Russians, will come up with a solution. Although, to be sure, it'll involve the loss of life as is their habit; they do seem more caviler about such things than we (Westerners) do.
What about hover boards? When do we get those?Yes but the futurists have it correct now. Back then they didnt know as much as they do now today, so now they really know accurately of whats ahead in the future. Thats why the right now is the smartest.

And so it goes...
In an aside, they do not have engineers like the blonde with the Geiger counter in my dojo.An entertaining look at all the now loony looking applications

Excellent TV show...though.Quite a bit of misinformation there. For example the Elephants Foot is not eating its way down. Thunderf00t did a few videos on this without all of the hysteria:
Haven't you ever read the disclaimer at the bottom of your screen?In an aside, they do not have engineers like the blonde with the Geiger counter in my dojo.
The politicians will follow the will of the people. If we the people can overcome irrational fear and ignorance about nuclear power we can have clean and safe nuclear power.It will require far greater care than prior efforts.
Do you think politicians you see in government
are up to the task?
Can you believe that in Enrico Fermi's homeland no nuclear power is produced?The politicians will follow the will of the people. If we the people can overcome irrational fear and ignorance about nuclear power we can have clean and safe nuclear power.
The will of the people has no expertise in system design.The politicians will follow the will of the people. If we the people can overcome irrational fear and ignorance about nuclear power we can have clean and safe nuclear power.
Were standards high?Can you believe that in Enrico Fermi's homeland no nuclear power is produced?
Because Chernobyl traumatized Italians who shut down all plants...even if these had high safety standards.
Compared to Chernobyl?Were standards high?
How would this be known?
