We could not.

Industrial Design major?
The John Birch Society told us he was a secret Communist.
I like this. My snowboard frequently rode shotgun.
Add curtis yarvin too.
But anyway, we couldn’t do anything because he’s the president.
Eid Meowbarack!
I remember when we got a hercules that replaced our ibm monochrome display card. went from a font card to color… amazing.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you may be suffering from sample bias. I was in for over ten years, and all my friends from my time in hate what’s going on now… but the majority of the people I served with love it. There is a reason I was friends with some people & not others.
Shimmy-Shake…
Coner?
A big problem with that? They don’t want us. The guy working the corner store in Thailand? He’s fluent in thai, vietnamese, & english. He also codes. Sure you have a us engineering degree, but are you a licensed professional engineer? your degree means nothing in europe. We are loud, opinionated, and ignorant. Those same qualities that led us into this mess domestically are the reason no-one wants us in their country. Just for vacation, where we leave our money there when we come back here.
i’m so sorry.
Big hot rock make steam.
14.
I’m so sorry.
yeah. my bad.
But not as much as liquid water. This caused an additional surge in positive reactivity, due to that reactor design being fueled with u238. As the core got hotter, more reactivity was added, and it became a self licking ice cream cone. Once the water had enough heat to overcome the pressure barrier, it broke the core containment barrier, causing the pressure in the cooling line to drop. Then all the rest of the water flashed to steam, very rapidly, destroying the core & all containments./fin
It’s basically a GIANT no-no. But they didn’t follow the procedure because of fear of political reprisal. And all actions have consequences. In the case of чернобыль, all that reactivity led to a massive supercritical fission event, dumping horrific amounts of enthalpy (as heat) into the water that was used to keep the big hot rock cool. That caused the water to flash to steam in a location it shouldn’t. Steam occupies a volume 1000 times greater than water. It also slows neutrons down.
as they decay, they produce Xe-135. The higher your previous power level, the higher xenon wave you’ll get, peaking about 11 hours post shutdown. If you need to restart the rx during this time, you may want to reevaluate your priorities. You’ll have to add WAY MORE reactivity than you would typically need. This can become a problem really quickly once you burn the xe-135 out, and you now have all those neutrons contributing to fission.
This can happen when you have an above normal reactivity index required to remain critical (meaning a lot of neutrons are present, but not all of them are contributing to fission.) If you have a reactor poison (like xenon) in the core then a fair amount of your neutron population is being expended burning out the poison. Funny thing about xenon-poisoning: it happens when you shut the big-hot-rock down. All the fission daughter products that were being burnt suddenly aren’t.
Not critical, excessively super critical. Criticality is when the neutron population is stable. Subcritical is when the neutron population is decreasing, or below self-sustaining. Supercritical is when the neutron population is increasing. Prompt-Critical is when the reactor is critical on prompt neutrons only. This is a big problem when the delayed neutrons show up and add a freakish amount of positive reactivity in a freakishly short period of time.
Highly exothermic core randomization.
HEY! GET BACK HERE!!
Who cares. We’re here for Larry.
37? In a row?!
Dies quietly from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
We could not.
