Here is our waste. It's High Level Waste from the only commercial spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facility to operate in the US. That waste has been vitrified and poured into stainless steel canisters and sealed with a welded lid. Five sealed canisters are placed into a stainless steel canister which is also sealed with a welded lid. Each larger canister is currently stored in a steel-lined concrete cask. All of this is awaiting a suitable disposal facility where it can be stored for eternity. It would be pretty difficult for someone to get to it!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1679082004.jpg

Yucca Mountain
 

No, Yucca is still a no starter. When I reviewed the proposed documentation that was to be for license application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commision, the underground emplacements were going to require over 75% of the worlds supply of titanium. Futures on that would have paid out big money!

Accountant Sheilah Ablett operates a Burroughs E101 Electronic Computer at the British Institute of Management in London (December 4, 1956). Also known as the "Baby Brain," this $40,000 machine originally built by Electrodata in 1954 was designed mainly for engineering and scientific applications but also targeted at the bookkeeping and accounting markets, filling the gap between the low-priced calculators and expensive, high-end computers. It was a desk sized machine programmed by inserting a number of small metal pins into eight 10×38 cm removable pinboard units in a way that may have inspired Hasbro's Lite-Brite™ toy! The pins are dropped thru the marked holes in 16-row paper templates, these templates providing permanent program storage. Instructions may also be read from a 20cps punched paper tape input unit. Numerical input (Decimal numbers stored as 12 digits plus sign) was via an 11-column keyboard based on the Burroughs Sensimatic-20 bookkeeping machine, it had 220 words of internal data storage on magnetic drum, 29 single-address instructions, 128 program steps, 2 automatic address-modification counters with programmed limits, unconditional and 2 conditional transfer instructions. The speed of the E101 was 20 additions/sec and 4 multiplications/sec and the machine consumed 3000 watts of power using 163 vacuum tubes and 1,500 diodes.

It's a recreation of the Jappic racer. The original set a record at Brooklands back in 1925. I saw an article about cyclecarts and thought that it a great inspiration for my own interpretation. Just have to get a few projects complete and out the way first! The original, as well as this full-size recreation, is powered by a 350cc JAP motorcycle engine that were produced 100 years ago. I have more photos, but they are too large to upload. If interested, the builder of the recreation has a great set of photos at the link below.

There was a thread on these sometime back, but I wasn't able to find it using Search.

I recall the likely miles of Ti "roofing" for the tunnels - once they figured out that it couldn't be a "geologic" repository they figured that they could engineer their way around it. The costs would have been beyond astronomical. Truly just a warehouse with a few guards sitting on stools 24/7 for the next few thousand years would have been cheaper.

An interesting point of view was delivered years ago at the (2000?) Plutonium Futures conference in Los Alamos/Santa Fe. For some attendees (former USSR scientists) they had never been out of their country. A few 'mericans piped up to say that they should just bury their stuff in the interest of nonproliferation. Wow did that cause a scene! We got more than a few tirades in Russian and English of how much treasure was spent on that material and NFW are they just going to put it in the ground.

You guys need to start a separate thread for this sort of stuff, it's very interesting for us engineery/sciency minded folks that don't normally get much of a view into that world.

Are there folks/places where these race?

I love the idea of old, no aero, open wheel cars, whether it be something like a Lotus/Caterham 7 or one of the old GP cars. This looks really cool, and seems like it could be great fun.

Why yes, yes there is! If you live in Washington, or Utah, you are closer to some of the bigger events, where there are competitors from all over the globe! Try these websites for more details. The premise is to fashion your car after an vintage (i.e. 1910-1920 era), but the rules are somewhat loose.

Route 66 climbs into the Black Mountains west of Kingman, Arizona where N.R. Dunton ran a pipe to a spring two miles away and established Cool Springs in 1926. In 1936, James and Mary Walker took over and “rocked” the main building. Mary wed Floyd Slidell in 1939 after James left. The business thrived until the new highway opened in 1952.
After Mary left, Floyd ran the dying business with his niece and her husband. Cool Springs became a poultry operation called the Chicken Ranch. It was abandoned in 1964 and then burned down. Cool Springs was partly rebuilt in 1991 to be blown up for the film Universal Soldier. Ed Leuchtner bought it in 2002 and resurrected the landmark.

My dad had a one wheel trailer.

Can you find the 4 icons in the Bizarro cartoon indicated by the no. 4 beside the signature?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. "one wheel trailer"? 4 icons?

I' going with photos of the shoe and rabbit, the cup with the crown logo and the ball on the floor next to the recliner. But I only went with those because they seemed odd and out of place.

Interesting, I've never seen such a thing.

Eyeball, shoe, rabbit, crown

It's actually a eyeball and the creator has about a dozen overall some or many appear in every cartoon. Each has a significance explained on a few websites that follow Bizarro. It used to take me minutes to find them when he gets tricky.

Lots of cartoons use hidden messages.

It looked a little like an eyeball to me, but I wasn't positive. So did I get all 4 or was it just the eyeball that was right. The comic was fairly simple, and those things were the only things that stood out to me.

Good catch on the crown. I love this sort of thing, finding stuff in pictures. As a kid, I used to always do "find 5 differences betweeen the two pictures" thing in the comics.

Harvard Mark III
Computation Laboratory staff member Ambrose Speiser debugging a test program at the coding box of a stored-program computer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 10, 1949. It was professor of applied mathematics Howard Aiken's 3rd computer, named ADEC (Aiken Dahlgren Electronic Calculator), 250× faster than his 1944 Harvard Mark I because it was mostly electronic with some electromechanical parts. Built at Harvard University and delivered to the U.S. Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren, Virginia, March 1950. It used 5000 vacuum tubes, 1500 crystal diodes, weighed 9.1 t, and had 4,350 words of magnetic drum memory. Using 16 digit BCD encoded numbers, read and processed serially, four bits at a time. Addition time was 4.4 ms, multiplication was 13.2 ms including memory access time. The Mark III used nine magnetic drums! One drum could contain 4,000 instructions of 38 bits read in parallel in 4.4 ms. The arithmetic unit could access two other drums – one contained 150 words of constants and the other contained 200 words of variables. This separation of data and instructions is now known as the Harvard architecture. There were 6 other drums that held a total of 4,000 words of data, but the arithmetic unit couldn't access these drums directly. Data had to be transferred between these drums and the drum the arithmetic unit could access via registers implemented by electromechanical relays. This bottleneck made the access times long 80 ms.
The Mark III, also known as “Bessie” because it mostly computed Bessel functions, had the potential to be a significant entry into the field of computing, but events slowed its completion until competitors finished other markedly superior systems.

Back when Porsche first started using adaptive cruise control, PCNA sent all kinds of weird special tools like that for use with the Hunter alignment equipment to adjust the cameras. I remember being trained on using the stuff but don’t ever remember having to use it at the shop…but then my memory ain’t what it used to be!
