Resting Phase for Blog

I'm now in a resting phase, since I am uninspired. I've had too many 'deaths' and resurrections to see anything into this, but one day I'll just slip into a blog coma.

Tomorrow, I go to my big CSA recognition dinner, along with a zillion other people being recognized. (If everybody is special, then .....). I then go to my first standards meeting, ever since I ran.

It would be good to quell my blog addiction, and put it to bed. I've given up on the Ontario nuclear scene, and comments on world earthquakes are a dime a dozen. The US has to totally give up on nuclear since they will never have a waste repository as good as Nevada, but I have some hope for Canada, after they get through all this initial silliness.

More Radioactive Waste Cans

Article

I'm fairly neutral on this, but here is another example of giant waste barrels on a very bad place. I can't imagine these things leaking on the very first day, but they will age, and they are located on a major seismic zone, and right beside the Ottawa River.

Underground Nuclear Power Station

We did a lot of work on this in the early 80's. Thought it was a great idea! Turns out it wasn't so hot, since you had to deal with a lot of holes, and the heat dissipation was a problem.

Nevertheless, we did a lot of analysis, and some drilling at Bruce. That's how I got to know the site so well.

I also did some dynamic modeling, since the extra heat might cause rock spall and rock bursts.

As we all know, I decided that the Bruce site could never support an underground structure, so we walked away from all this silliness.
