FLASH: Fermi 2 nuclear power plant in Michigan is shut down... 'We have a leak of reactor coolant into the containment structure... leak rate was about 75 gallons a minute but is reducing,' John Austerberry, spokesman... 'there is no indication of a radioactive release'... MORE...
If your so worried about the thread going off topic---why don't you ask the troll you're defending.
He's managed to do that to many threads---so take my advice and check them out.
I will. Thank you.
Goodnight
It's also a different thread, not this one, so it stands, Post 44 was the first mention of Islamic involvement and YOU made it, ON THIS THREAD.
Troll.
Can you identify who the quotes are from and what threads they are from so we can understand the context? And decide for ourselves concerning the credentials of the speaker.
Being here for 5 years does not give him a free pass, you have heard of Quisling, haven't you?
As for the alleged Bigotry towards Muslims, you need to step back and look at the context of those comments as well, some are real, many are facetious.
Maybe if you and others tried to understand that the roots of the alleged Bigotry come from the hearts of MANY people who have been adversely affected by the actions of the Islamofascists, and that they have a right to be angry at all Muslims, but it is all talk, they are not going to act on it.
It is free speech, protected speech as long as they are not hurting anyone physically by it. If it is hurting some feelings, don't read it, move to another thread, stay quiet. If you choose to speak out, prepare to be challenged, because there are a lot of Americans who equate defending Islam, with defending Nazis.
Right or wrong, it's how they feel, and it's their right to feel this way, check the 1st amendment.
"I took last weekend off from FR anyway - my doctor told me to something about my blood pressure."
I'm so sorry to hear you aren't in the best of health, I have an elderly relative with the same problem, poor thing, she's terrified. Thinks she'll die. I told her, what you really need to do is think only happy thoughts, stay away from irritating people, and whatever you do, don't allow yourself to get angry because it can literally kill you. I mean that. No arguments allowed, none what-so-ever. Everyone on FR is precious to us, we'll all pray for you and you can count on me, if you die, I'll send you a huge bunch of flowers all the way from Australia. We care, we really really do.
LOL!
Send him a moon rock. ROTFL!
Enjoy your sense of humor...WRITE ON!! :O)
NICE CATCH!
I can see right now this dude is trouble....but,hey
that's o.k....I just bought a new supply of gas for my flamethrower...:O)
I'm just an ignorant newbie here, but I looked at your profile page and I have to say the picture you put there with the American flag under the rear end of a lion makes me wonder about you...not a lot...like I'm not losing sleep or anything...I just wonder what that "crest" means.
Could you elaborate?
Now that's the kind of compassion we all would do well to emulate...:O)
Civility can be the sharpest of knives.
Can't they just try Prestone?
It's the Islamics.
He doesn't have to twist MY words. I'm proudly bigotted against Islam. It is a religion that literally despises democracy, subjegates women and mutilates their genitalia, and comes equipped with 100,000's of suicidal terrorists.
Actually you have a valid complaint against a 'religion' that does not permit any freedom
That is NOT bigotry.
That is REALITY.
In a BWR, like Fermi, there is no secondary loop. You're thinking of the condensers which cool the steam after it pases through the turbine. That happens in both PWRs and BWRs. In a BWR the steam goes directly from the reactor to the turbine. In a PWR design the steam from the reactor goes to a steam generator which flashes water on the secondary side to steam which then drives the turbine. You can have different amounts of loops with a PWR but they all go to steam generators which are the interface with the secondary side.
Even if you had a reactor coolant leak, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. The water gets pumped to the radwaste treatment system and processed. The leak at Fermi was from a support system that did not contain reactor coolant.
In a BWR the steam that goes to the turbine is radioactive.
