Anecdote - After TMI the NRC mandated that all nuclear plants install a system to automatically initiate auxiliary feed water to the steam generators if certain criteria were met. …

I don't think it's possible to exercise your way to weight loss. A handful of Oreo's will negate an hour workout. Simply cutting out as much added sugar as possible will drop weigh…

In Japan they shut down each plant yearly for inspection. Everywhere else it's done on the refueling cycle. The plant I worked at was on a two year cycle so each year one of the tw…

I got a speeding in a school zone ticket and fought it because the points for that offence are high. The sign gave times the speed limit was in effect but I missed it and there wer…

Unless you live in or near a fairly large urban center, or some large college towns, you won't find movie theaters showing small films.

I'd add Americas Test Kitchen - independent testing of kitchen appliances and basics. Recipe how to's after extensive testing. Good cooking tips.

I'm remembering back 40 years here. I worked in the engine room of a nuclear powered cruiser. We had a switch called something like "battle bypass" that would bypass all the auto s…

My youngest of 3 is now 32 years old. I've recently been thinking about the oft heard "I'm always amazed by the things my grown children remember and the things they don't". I've b…

It doesn't cost the hospital a nickel to have that doctor walk into the patients room. You will get a bill for that from the doctor's practice, not from the hospital.

What they are talking about is what is used to condense the steam exiting the main turbine which is the thing that spins the generator. DC uses seawater to run through the condense…

I think you would see electric cars take off if those without garages or driveways had a way to charge them nightly. I know I would have one on my list. Perhaps use the government …
