For all these reasons, I think AV is actually a very good voting system and I would put the referendum result down to several things — an ineffective Yes campaign (if you typed AV into Google, they didn't even come up on the first page of results), lies and smears spread by the No campaign, the association with Nick Clegg, the split in Labour over AV and finally, and not insignificantly, the fact that the Electoral Commission sent leaflets to every household containing an overly complex explanation that made AV look more complex than the insides of a nuclear reactor.

For this reason, nuclear reactors are designed with passive and active safeguards, and separate dedicated systems are used to identify and to neutralise possible faults which could lead to large - scale disasters.

But a malfunctioning safeguards system can itself lead to accidents if it interacts with other parts of the reactor, while a system that isolates the fault may exacerbate accidents by hindering the operation of other safety systems which need to interact with the part of the reactor affected.

Most often, chips with tiny fluidic channels, reactors and other components are used for this: lab - on - a-chip systems.

If a fault occurs, a safeguard must either interact with the system it protects or isolate that part of the system to prevent the fault affecting other parts of the reactor.

«I'm a bit of a Trekky at heart — the only way you are going to travel to another star system is with a fusion reactor,» he said.

New reactors could use dry or hybrid systems with lower water requirements, but the costs of running these systems are likely to be prohibitive.

Typically, pressurized water reactors» containment systems consist of a concrete dome reinforced with steel to prevent radioactive fumes from escaping during a nuclear accident.

«While we had previously shown that palladium would do related reactions in a closed reactor system, this work with platinum is our first demonstration of operation in a flow reactor at industrially relevant conditions.

Low temperatures activate the brown - fat thermogenesis process via the sympathetic nervous system: Nerve ends in brown fat tissue release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, and that triggers a shift in metabolism within the brown fat cells, which are densely packed with tiny biological energy reactors called mitochondria.

However, slow advances in reactor designs, compared to far more rapid advances in renewable energy and energy storage, mean that low - carbon energy systems may end up competing head to head with nuclear.

The partnership aims to vigorously accelerate the reactor system's ongoing development and international licensing efforts by linking SNC - Lavalin's world - class Nuclear team with Holtec's SMR team.

I was trying to estimate the mining footprints of solar and nuclear, and came up with some very tentative rough estimates that ore input for solar energy might have an energy density (per unit mass) ~ 5 to 80 times coal, while nuclear (convential US fuel cycle) may be ~ 20 times coal — on the solar side, this doesn't include some balance of system components, and on the nuclear side, it only includes the U, but on the solar side, the actual energy density could get much higher with recycling of the same material into multiple successive generations of solar energy devices, and on the nuclear side, breeder reactors.
