What happens if all the Nucs on that ship get sick and can't work? Fly in replacement crew?

Step 1) turn it off and walk away

Step 2) remember for legal reasons you have to actually have people half asleep in a cramped box "running it"

Step 3) cram some 18 year olds in the box with the reactor, lock the door, and walk away

yeah they're saying 70 mph winds

ct forecast:


Monday
Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 58. Windy, with a south wind 21 to 26 mph increasing to 32 to 37 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.

The best thing about CT weather forecasting is how a random dude on Facebook/Twitter (@eweather13) Is a better source of short term forecasting and analysis of expectations than local broadcast tv

So, errr, what happens when you have to turn the reactor off? I assume there's not a lot of back up power, does everyone have to bail before they die of carbon dioxide poisoning or what?

As a nuke I am also not going to elaborate but I can casually not elaborate in more detail:

Ships and subs only run their reactors next to the pier for rare occasions when they're not about to leave or just pulled in. But shutting down a reactor is surprisingly simple.

A reactor Scram shuts down the reactor, period. It goes from 100% to <1%. Normally you either SCRAM in an emergency (even a mild one, or often just for practice), or Scram once you're already shutdown through a long proceedure. 0% nuclear reaction however isn't the thing you're worried about, at the moment of a Scram you still have 7% of operating power still occurring as thermal power, thanks to nuclear decay. If you scram at 100% power you still have 38 MEGAwatts of thermal power to deal with. If you Scram at the end of a shutdown checklist after pulling into port you have monumentally less since it decays exponentially. Decay heat is a bitch however, and even weeks later you can still have dozens of kilowatts of thermal power being produced. Not a lot of heat at all for thousands of tons of metal and water. BUT if that water is stationary things can hot spot, hot spots cause problems with hydrogen and uneven expansion of metals. Leave a hot spot for long enough and you have permanent damage and a small pain in the rear end leak of used nuclear fuel into your primary coolant. This doesn't happen as long as water is circulating though, and the ship piers have electricity to power the pumps, and there are multiple backup generators everywhere. Over longer periods of time this fun field of study called radio-chemistry comes into play. Radiation causes the breakdown of ammonia and other molecules in the coolant which has long term effects, but is a simple task to deal with on a weekly basis.

But the relevant answer is that from a physics standpoint, you can leave a water pump running and lock the door and things will be absolutely fine for a few weeks until plant chemistry gets too far out of spec, but from a legal and understandably cautious standpoint you need 24h shift work to have someone sit in a box and watch the meter.

Hi, I'm legendary permabanned poster ______. I first started reading GiP when it was just a grover thread. by 2011 i got really obsessed with the concept of "civil war" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "motorola spies for the CIA" and "absolute zero photons ping pong" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "chud" style of GiP humor was all about; i think its the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” GiP to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Covered. Not removed. Funny that.


If you think military support symbolism is a nazi symbol, maybe the people you know in the military are nazis

Even modern tattoo removal is a long and difficult process. Full removal would take months. I say this as someone who has thousands of dollars of tattoo work on them. Its a day of work to have a competent artist do a full cover up piece, especially something thats that small and simply black ink.

Why wouldn't there be volunteers? If you reserve some ECMO machines and ICU beds for the folks volunteering, I bet there would be a bunch of folks that'd sign up. You throw in life insurance payments for the folks who don't make it, I'd be having talks with my wife about signing up. The odds are that everyone is going to get it over the next 2 years, why not do it in a controlled way where you're assured of great medical care and you help save lives?

The fact that we aren't doing that shows that we aren't really treating this as seriously as we could be.
