[@GuitarSamurai17]

alcowherd7 i remember when he built it with skye

[@Ravenousjoe]

I just rewatched it ..... so cringe, he didn't put new thermal paste on the cpu cooler, it was an open box return with used paste and he just slapped it on. No wonder it is running hotter now. Scott, you gotta clean that off first then apply a pea sized dot of thermal paste onto the cpu before re-installing. With the old stuff I am sure it was working fine, but you probably weren't getting full turbo, and with a bit of dust acting as air restriction over the past 2 years, it will only get hotter and louder as the fan compensates.

[@IT-kone]

I opened my laptop ~half a year ago for the first time, because my hinges were getting loose. Bought it autumn 2012. The fan looked more like a vaccuum cleaner's dustbag than a fan.

Full disclosure - I'm not in a program, I've just been self-studying. That said, I'd start with the following textbooks if you want to get a jump on formalizing your education: "Nuclear Reactor Analysis", Dunderstad/Hamilton, "Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering", Shultis/Faw for basic processes. "Measure and Detection of Radiation", Tsoulfanidis/Landsberger, give you a focused background on, er, detection and measurement. Lay books that give a bunch of background: "Atomic Awakenings" and "Atomic Accidents" by James Mahaffey gives good history and accidents - they're both very accessible books, and the author is a knowledgable practitioner. "Nuclear Energy: What Everyone Needs to Know", by Charles Ferguson, gives a very concise history of things like the Uranium fuel cycle and general reactor technology, but at a very high level (it's a short book and gets to the point, but it's a book of breadth more than depth).

[@BeCurieUs]

And different materials have different delay neutron amounts, which is why some of us have concerns with different fuel cycles...ala thorium/u233 has about half as many delay neutrons as U235. This can result in stability issues depending on the design. Particularly for MSR promoters, we will have to REALLY make sure we do the CFD right or risk Doppler expansion oscillations (POGO problems!)

[@achalhp]

I have also read that, in a MSR where fuel is pumped, the delayed neutrons will be produced outside the reactor. The Molten salt reactor must be designed for prompt neutrons similar to a fast spectrum reactor. In a fast spectrum reactor, the fissile material density and neuron population density is so high that the delayed neutrons do not play a significant role in controlling the reactor. Some designs like static salt reactor (Moltex design) avoid this problem. These reactors do not pump the liquid salt out of the reactor core.

[@BeCurieUs]

No typical reactor is designed for prompt critical neutrons. In a prompt situation, fast reactor power would increase by e every 0.1 ms (or 22,000xish per ms). Delay neutrons play a role in fast reactors as well, it is what allows us to control them along with other feedbacks. The difference is the mean neutron lifetime is much shorter in fast reactors so power spikes can happen at a rate an ordered of magnitude faster in a fast reactor, so important care is taken to sometimes soften the spectrum, space the fuel different, have differing enrichment profiles in fuel elements and rod spacing, ect. We won't fix MSR by designing them like we do solid fueled fast reactors, they are using an entirely different tool set as many fast reactors are heterogeneous in nature.

[@achalhp]

Delayed neutrons are important when power levels rise. Different reactors use different methods to increase power level during startup, CANDUs use gradual addition of moderator (heavy water) in the calandria tank and control rod action. I think in the MSR, they may use the method of adding fuel salt slowly to increase the power with the action of control rods. Also in transatomic power design the moderator moves. They may use the method of adding more moderator into the reactor core to achieve this? In the article "MOLTEN SALT REACTORS - SAFETY OPTIONS GALORE", Uri Gat writes "Early concerns of loss of delayed neutrons, which are carried out of the core in external cooling, turned out to be of no significance." But, he does not discuss anything how they solved this problem in 7.5 MW MSRE. He writes about continuous removal of poisons and online refueling aids to run the MSR with low excess reactivity. Is this the reason the loss of delayed neutrons was not a safety concern in MSRE?

[@BeCurieUs]

Because it depends on a bunch of different factors. They weren't doing any helium sparging like some reactor types want to do. Also, size of the reactor matters as the larger you get, the less leakage you get axially. Also the hotter the central axis gets which affects your Dopplar expansion and nuclear resonance for absorption (particularly important for denatured reactors with lots of u238). Basically, like all reactors it takes some engineering and this is one of those things that has to be properly modeled to avoid problems, just like everything else. There is no inherently safe reactor, safe is a matter of design choices is my point.

[@achalhp]

Doppler expansion and resonance absorption by U238 or Th232 is beneficial. It is responsible for negative temperature coefficients of reactivity. Denatured reactors have strong negative coefficients and it is a good fuel choice. I agree your point that inherent safety is result of various design choices like the use of inherently safe coolants, fuels, fuel-form, neutron spectrum etc...

Putting the separators near the top... In 2 years of playing KSP, why didn't I think of that? I once did surface to low Mun orbit in 10 minutes, but that was with KAL overclocking an ion engine with a minimalist craft. When I made a good, alien-looking ship out of silver fairings and Mk1 inline cockpits with only the bubbles showing (and lit), the overclocked ion engine would break free and tear through the rest of the 12-ton ship if I gave it more than about 1/3 throttle.

[@pattonpending7390]

FYI on the SL-1 story that Scott talked about: SL-1 was a 3 megawatt US Army test reactor. Apparently during testing, one of the control rods had been sticking so a tech yanked on it to try to free it up a bit. It became unstuck and was subsequently pulled out too far, causing the instantaneous reaction. When it went prompt critical, it generated 20 Gigawatts of power in 4 thousandths of a second. This had the effect of vaporizing all the internal nuclear material and moderating water instantly and sent the entire reactor (20,000 lbs / ~10,000kg) upwards at 27' per second and blowing the top of the reactor off. The supervisor was pinned to the ceiling (as Scott mentioned) with a control rod and another was also found dead when the firemen arrived in response to a fire alarm. One man survived for a short time, but passed away shortly after being rescued. The combination of radiation exposure, blunt force trauma, and being heavily scalded by steam meant he had no chance for recovery. When the investigation started, they knew if was a prompt critical incident by looking at one of the guys gold watch: a significant amount of the metal had been turned to a radioactive gold isotope. More information on the SL-1 reactor incident can be found online (like here: digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1053436/m1/1/ ).

[@KSparks80]

It took a helluva lot of work to get him un-stuck from the ceiling. Basically had to treat him as radioactive waste afterwards.

[@shakenblakel640]

MillionFoul when did this happen? And did the poor guy die immediately? I came into the comments to look for answers

[@grifballa]

Shake n Blake l January 3, 1961. It's unknown what killed him first. I like to think that the massive pressure wave it created from all the water flashing to steam and shooting the control rod out knocked him unconscious before he felt anything else. But there's no way to know. It's because of that incident, that all reactors built in America or any similar designs across the world are designed so that even if the most reactive rod in the core (the rod with the most unburned fuel in proximity) is pulled entirely out of the core, it won't go critical. Prompt or otherwise.

Well of course they could see it if if was underwater. My point is there's no blue flash in air, but people's eyes are made of mostly water so people see blue flashes.
