GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Bill Gates’ nuclear innovation startup TerraPower are ready to demonstrate a “cost-competitive” advanced nuclear //
Key to the system’s cost-effectiveness is its tight energy system architecture, which simplifies previous reactor types. A typical Natrium site, for example, will span about 44 acres, with a nuclear island of about 16 acres. “When normalized to power rating, the Natrium system has a smaller footprint compared to other Generation IV reactors. Similarly, Natrium has a smaller footprint than most multi-unit plants with light water reactors operating today,” TerraPower said. One benefit of a plant with the Natrium technology the companies highlighted is its significantly reduced emergency planning zone, “which allows it to be sited in many locations without affecting local population centers.”
The system design also involves fewer equipment interfaces, which could dramatically slash the amount of nuclear-grade concrete by 80% compared to larger reactors. “Non-nuclear mechanical, electrical and other equipment will be housed in separate structures, reducing complexity and cost,” TerraPower said. “The design is intended to permit significant cost savings by allowing major portions of the plant to be built to industrial standards.”
Its most significant attribute, perhaps, is that the system can generate power with the heat produced by the SFR or store it using nitrate salt molten salt energy storage technology, which has the potential to “boost the system’s output to 500 MWe of power for more than five and a half hours when needed.”

A closer look at the Bradykinin hypothesis
The county paper predicted a crowd of 2,000-plus for President Trump's stop. There are more than twice that many vehicles by 4.
Teaching equal protection under the law is now called "defending White America" //
To call this whole line of training anything but brainwashing and pernicious trash designed to heighten racial tensions and divisiveness requiring still more diversity workshops would be an understatement. //
One of the things that the BLM movement (and no, there is really no difference between the “movement” and the Marxist, anti-family, anti-Christian organization) has drawn a spotlight on is critical race theory, and on Friday, President Trump barred federal agencies from using critical race theory as any part of their “diversity” training grift (READ Trump Orders Purge of ‘Critical Race Theory’ From Federal Agencies: What It Is & Why Trump’s Order Matters).
The howling that resulted from shutting off the flow of federal money to race-hustlers and grifters shows the level of the problem. //
I think President Trump rightly thinks there are many, many more Americans who believe that America, on balance, is a wonderful country and they are truly pissed off at BLM and its Antifa stormtroopers trying to stoke a race/class civil war. Most Americans don’t believe you are inherently anything based on your race and reject the idea out of hand. There is literally no downside to President Trump doing this. No one who believes in this claptrap is going to vote for Trump in the first place, but a lot of people who have experienced this ritualized bigotry will. //
It is RACISM pretending to be "anti-racist" or "reverse racism" which can't exist since the reverse of racism is NO racism, not more of its mirror image.
Unauthorized security research can “cause harmful effects,” Voatz says in baffling brief.
White guilt is the root of a lot of the trouble you see on TV. //
The Daily Wire recently had on Candace Owens who addressed this very idea:
Systemic racism “is not at all an obstacle to black Americans today,” Owens said. “There is no systemic racism. There is no law. There is nothing that says I cannot do something as a black person that you can do, so it’s completely false. What we’re really talking about is the fact that people want to absolve themselves of personal responsibility, and we’re being helped.
“If there is anything that is systemic in America today, it is white guilt. It’s been institutionalized, it’s been politicized, politicians [and] white people feeling bad for themselves and therefore allowing people – allowing black people and white people alike – you know, Antifa and Black Lives Matter to run around and act like toddlers, right?” Owens continued. “There is an emotional immaturity that is happening in black America, and it is spawned by the education system which shapes you from the time you are in kindergarten to believe that because you are black, you can’t in America. When you keep telling a child over and over again they can’t because-, they won’t, right? They will begin to believe in their own futility.” //
The same values and habits that make white people the majority of the middle class are the same that any race can take advantage of. The difference comes from a culture that the black community was pushed into with programs that encourage the dissolution of the nuclear family unit and reliance on welfare. //

An Economist/YouGov poll from this week give Biden an 11 point lead over Trump, but is it right? //
Of the 1,207 respondents to the question, 494 self-identified as Democrats and only 314 self-identified as Republicans (the remaining 399 were independent/third party). Simply put, of the respondents polled, nearly 41% self-identify as Democrats, while only 26% self-identify as Republicans. A 15 point advantage for Dems built into the data. That number isn’t included in the methodology… I wonder why??
The receipts were kept.
Most of China's launch fleet is powered by hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide.
They will never learn.
Another on-the-record source denies the sensational claims.
"Specifically, a war on the freedom to earn a living outside of an employer/employee relationship." //
Hopefully, Joe Biden was reading Rowe’s words. Biden spent Labor Day endorsing the PRO Act, which would take AB5 nationwide and repeal all state-based right-to-work laws, and promising to sign it into law if he wins the election.
The Atlantic Story on Trump disparaging the military is worthless trash, except for the value in smoking out Jennifer Griffin as a hidden Anti-Trumper at Fox.
Disney's corruption is more than tragic. //
Georgia was becoming a second Hollywood with many companies filming in the state due to its cost-effectiveness. When the state passed its fetal heartbeat law many companies said they would pull out, Disney being chief among them.
They made good on their threat, but instead of going back to California to film on those lots, they decided to take their business to China. //
My colleague Brad Slager recently reported that Disney’s cooperation with China extends so far into the corrupted state that it teamed up with the organization that helps run its concentration camps in order to film its latest live-action remake of Mulan: //
Disney will not film in the United States if the place where they are filming has pro-life laws on the books that protect children in the womb. Where they will film, however, is in the backyard of a Chinese concentration camp.
Apparently, according to Disney, the latter is more wholesome than the former.
As soon as the Washington Post told me they wanted to do a story on Outkick I knew what was coming. The usual far left wing smear job to try and make me -- and Outkick -- look awful. Been there, done that. In fact, all of you knew what was coming as well. //
Putting how minimal these quotations are in context, the transcript of my conversation with the Washington Post was 28 single-spaced pages.
28 pages!
We talked for over an hour nearly a month ago.
That’s tens of thousands of words. The Washington Post picked less than 100 of them and lifted those quotes out of context and placed them in a negative light in their story. //
Washington Post: So I guess before sort of like as we start, so you, I don’t like it’s totally your prerogative to record it. I’m just like, are you planning to then release it or what?
Clay Travis: I have found that I like to do live media, right. So if I’m going to talk for 20 or 30 minutes, I would rather do it live so that everybody can hear it entirely in context. If I give a long interview answer to a question and one sentence gets pulled out, and everybody’s like, “Oh, my God, Clay, Travis said x,” and I’m like, well, actually, when you look at the context of it, it’s not exactly as it was portrayed. I want the context. //
Washington Post: So it’s like, don’t quote me out of context. And I have the receipts to prove it. And then also potentially, I want to share it with my audience.
Clay Travis: 100% percent.
