"I'll stand by my original statement. If the decay slows down, the reaction doesn't produce enough power - power is also time based. If it speeds up it will melt the containment - the cooling systems that keep it from doing this are equally time based, being dependent on how much coolant they can move through the system and as a direct function how much heat they can remove in a given amount of time."

Again, you are assuming that radioactive decay energies are variable in dynamic time. That may not be the case but the method used to measure time prevents that from being measured. That was the point of post #27.

Ignoring the truth doesn't help.

Then we have just as much evidence to support that as we do to support the assertion that the decay rate varies.
