Batesmotel Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 My sons are very tech savvy. Not just computers but energy and industry. On one rainy Saturday we watched the entire HBO series in one sitting. They couldn’t believe the chain of events that caused the explosion. I just said welcome to the Cold War. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a very nicely done miniseries. I’ve watched it a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a wonder that the world survived that time. Of course, we may now be in act II of the Cold War. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reactor design would not be able to be built in the USA. Way to risky right from the start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lost about a third of the weight on the roll. Some alloys are worth a little time and effort. Regular steel or even most stainless we would not have bothered, get another one out and be welding in three minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
