@popceed Light water acts as a slight moderator and neutron absorber. The power of the reactor and hence its neutron flux must run higher to overcome the loss created by the presence of the water. If the water failed, the nuclear reaction would jump in a matter of seconds due to the sudden incr...

The "modern electronic console" is actually a Traffic Service Position System (TSPS) console. Notice the phone number 212-555-3689 displayed on the nixie tubes ay 0:59.

The footage from 2:20 - 3:30 is from the Ivy Mike shot. Hardly a hydrogen "bomb." It was the size of cargo container and required a plumber's nightmare of cryogenic plumbing to keep the liquid deuterium and tritium from boiling away. It could never be delivered as a weapon.

When the first "dr...

@whangie1 "They were running much to near the precipice."

One of my huskies (Thor), thinks he's a 75lb lap dog. Gotta love him.....he keeps me warm when he does that!

@whangie1 (Part 2) The production of plutonium is not a thermal reaction. Hotter uranium does not produce more plutonium. Plutonium production is the result of the neutron flux within the reactor. The neutron flux is the result of the critical mass of uranium and the power level at which the r...

Funny how everything in this video is "Fannie did this" and "Fannie did that..." Not one claim of Freddie having done anything. And oh yeah, Freddie did have to restate its earning, because they UNDER REPORTED their profits. Unlike Fannie who inflated their earning for the exec's bonuses, Fred...

For those joking that the best food Iceland has to offer is nothing but a hot dog, you cannot compare them to a crappy American hotdog.

These hotdogs are made from lamb meat; the buns are not the sugary fluff like in America; the catsup and mustard are totally different and the one item that mak...

I grew up in Olean and know the Daystom factory well. The building still stands on Franklin Street but has long been used for other purposes.

I agree with Andy.

Then again, I still listen to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

Faith is believing in something that common sense tells you not to,

Love it!!

Wish you would have continued over the bridge and turned right onto the old WAG railroad grade along Germania Street and walked up to the Wonder Bar and Grill.

Notice at the start of the film in Galeton (before the passenger train is shown), the arrival of a train from Wellsville, pulled by a 2-8-0. The train is mostly (all) three-dome tank cars from the Sinclair refinery in Wellsville. Note the first tank car behind the locomotive has SINCLAIR on it.

Horn is a Leslie SU3L. Similar to an S3L but with an underside mounting.

Gotta love the sound of those 567Bs!!!

The funny thing is, this was filmed on a tourist railroad that operates steam locomotives. I believe they operate these "snow specials" only a couple of times each winter.

Therefore, Miller's implication that this is "typical railroad work" and they head for a Miller when they're done is pretty...

Maybe could have tried "a Pullman sleeping car" for things with compartments
