The suspected driver, 22-year-old Gary Ray Montague, Jr., of Dumfries, Virginia, is charged with four misdemeanor counts, including three of disturbing the peace and one of disorderly conduct. He was also charged with 23 traffic violations.

The traffic violations include reckless driving, willfully damaging a highway and driving a motor vehicle in a manner intended to cause skidding.

Online court records show Montague had been convicted of misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated, this past August, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Records show he was required to use an ignition interlock.

Montague was also charged with reckless driving and other driving counts a month earlier, in neighboring Prince William County.

gently caress this guy: someone should drop him and his car in international waters.

That was Project Pluto which did use a direct exposed reactor, the other nuclear Jet Engines just exchanged heat and the coolant loop exchanged the heat rather than the reactor.

NERVA kinda works on the same principle as Pluto's nuclear ramjet but it heats a fuel rather than air, being in a vacuum and all

Well poo poo, I thought all of them had direct reactor exposure. I thought I read somewhere that using indirect hear exachange wasn't feasible at the time.

These people need to be burned alive in their ricers. H2Oi was originally in the Ocean City area, but they were told to gently caress off because of all the idiots doing public burnouts, drag racing in the streets, starting fights, and generally being assholes. H2Oi officially moved north to Atlantic City, but there's still a cadre of obnoxious man-children that go to OC and be stupid.

I can barely white-knuckle it across that bridge in the middle lane. The thought of doing donuts on it is incomprehensible.

HTRE-2 and HTRE-3 were direct-cycle. I can't say that clearly enough: they ingested air, blew it through the reactor core, and then blew it out the back.

https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/4643464

quote:

An airflow cycle of this assembly is shown in Figure 3. The air enters the turbojet engine and passes through the cold ducting to the forward transition scroll, where it is distributed radially through the front plug and into the core through the front tube sheet. Some of this air is used to cool the beryllium reflector and the control rods; the remainder (97% of total) is passed through the active core. The air is heated to approximately 1300°F and is exhausted into a plenum from which it passes through the combustor and aft header and back down through the engine turbine. The air is then exhausted to the atmosphere via the exhaust-handling system.

The program was originally supposed to be indirect-cycle, and that is the approach taken by P&W. GE asked for a waiver for that requirement, got one, and proceeded down the development path that led to the HTRE.

gently caress, I totally misread that.

To emphasize my failure to read

quote:

The Indirect Air Cycle program was assigned to Pratt & Whitney, at a facility near Middletown, Connecticut. This concept would have produced far less radioactive pollution. One or two loops of liquid metal would carry the heat from the reactor to the engine. This program involved a great deal of research and development of many light-weight systems suitable for use in aircraft, such as heat exchangers, liquid-metal turbopumps and radiators. The Indirect Cycle program never came anywhere near producing flight-ready hardware.

So I guess the front of the bus spins the guy around by his legs so he avoids the front wheel but also throws his head under the side of the bus but because the rear wheels of the bus rolled over the motorcycle it gave the guy enough time to get his head out from under the bus?
