100% entitlement. 0 respect or gratitude.

I truly can’t stand how passive aggressive she is. fricking bitch. The start of the season 4 finale makes me want to strangle her.

It was how Richie treated the family that impressed Mr Clark more than anything. It’s what really got his attention.

You needed to add a few hesitations and half-written words. But good effort. :lol:

Why did you say “like” so much? Are you a 15 year old white girl?

No. Forks was the episode right after that one. And it was amazing.

Doing a rewatch and I need to vent about her.

I can’t stand her passive aggressive bullshite. The hesitation and stuttering constantly while also acting like her shite doesn’t stink. Honestly can’t see what she really brought to the table. She was never a calming presence. She never had solutions. And she judged everyone about everything. The restaurant had a shite ton of personality issues. But none were worse than hers.

Rant over. Thanks for reading.

Ever been in a nuke plant?
Yes. Many times.

The regulations are extreme with no logical purpose. No one is stealing a core in a lunchbox and walk out alive. Adjust the regulations to construct and operate…..reduce the upfront overall costs.
Great idea. How has no one thought of this?

The regulations are what they are. Trump implemented the Advance Act and now the NRC has restructured but regulations don’t just disappear overnight. Data centers are needed yesterday. SMRs are still nuclear reactors. They need protections, engineering, maintenance, security, cyber security, operations, procurement, EP. All of that exists at current nuclear facilities. GE and Westinghouse want to build them but they can’t just go anywhere.
Somebody needs to post links. I’d be interested in the data as well.

Most power plants have the basics for desalination , especially nuclear. And with seawater electrolysis, as long as your plant can produce excess power, you can clean water with it.
Like I said… very few plants are actually doing it. And it’s not some simple mod. No mod is simple in the nuclear world. Adding that capability (which isn’t necessary or practical) isn’t something any power company is going to pay for.
Yeah, but Exxon just throws that back in the river. :lol:
That’s not true. The water gets treated but it rarely requires desalination because the source is freshwater 95% of the time.

seriously please stfu when you have no clue wtf you are talking about
You should take your own advice here.
Yes. Riverbend and many other places went with the larger footprint, “shorter” systems that perform the same function. That was part of the deal with the state. It couldn’t been seen from hwy 61. But even those are antiquated now. Towers are still most practical and cheapest though. It’s why Vogtle 3 and 4 went with towers. Once the steam is condensed back to water, separating it using the lattice out in the open air is the most efficient way to do it.

ETA: I know you’re in construction. The easiest way to imagine how efficient separating water droplets can cool water is a pool. Put one small water spout to circulate the water preferably one with small droplets, almost a spray. Solid streams are bad. It’ll lower the water temp 10° easily.
The fact that you think I’m against this place because of that post says more about how you are manipulated than I am. Read the thread.
I wouldn’t be shocked if this place had its own water cooling system for recycling. We don’t need the big towers anymore that are synonymous with nuclear.
Oh he’s been dead wrong about it. I was saying people have been scared of depleting water supplies since he made a huge deal about it being the next big thing to collapse.
SMRs have been a thing for a while. Biggest hurdle isn’t the tech but regulations. You can’t build them on “new” sites without of a ton of dedicated infrastructure. The plan now is to build them where nuclear plants already exist to increase base load. Even that has its issues.

Its been a topic since Michael Berry starting shorting it. Way before data centers.
