Steak 'n Shake is getting into the nuclear reactor game?

My first thought too...
Can you explain to me how a Tokamak device might melt through the Earth or through the device itself?
D-T fusion releases a 14.7 MeV neutron. Now what you do with that neutron, there’s the rub.
How did you resolve the First Wall problem?
Not sure where the apparatus in the first picture fits in the system, but I would be concerned about the rivets and that shell looks pretty thin. Almost as if the used the aluminum skin of old airplanes.
The other components look like stainless steel and are very thick. However the melting point of steel is considerably less than 100 million degrees...
Maybe if this was placed on the bottom of the ocean, but I’m concerned that this thig is going to blow before they get it to full power.
We were working the Tokamak at Oak Ridge in the 80s.
And this is how the world ends...
Based on new reports our tire dust is getting into the Puget Sound killing the salmon and steelhead, and all of this time I thought that China’s garbage, Japan’s dead nukes and ocean drift nets were the cause of all of this.
If Biden gets in and his EPA, then life as we know it will soon cease to exist as they start taking away all of the stuff that we have come to rely on to survive and advance our society.
Yes, but do make a nice counterfeit Airstream trailer from the project photos.
OK. Interesting. This is why I love FR - so many users with a wide expanse of knowledge. I learn something new everyday here!
All Fusion Matters!
Is Siberia suddenly going to become a warm place in the near future. Soon to be the Arc Tic Boom Ocean.
I wasn't "designing", I was evaluating "current" methods.
It’s only 30 years away..........forever..............
Where does it come out on the opposite side of the planet?
Here Comes the Sun.
What could go wrong? Joe Biden could take office and even worse, he could step down afterwards and Kommie Harris takes over. When that happens get ready to take Madarin lessons.
If something goes wrong you breach the Three Gorges Dam. There is enough water behind it to cool things down.
Unfortunately the Three Gorges Dam is downstream from this location so breaching it would not get water to the site. Oh, well.
