A disruptive approach to eliminating weapon-grade plutonium – Pu burning in a molten salt fast reactor SUMMARY: This study looked at the efficiency of several types of nuclear reactions: molten-salt reactors, light water reactors, and fast reactors. Using a program (written in Python), scientists looked at the data from each type of reactors and compared… Continue reading Using Pu in a molten salt fast reactor

Planarian Fission
Mechanics dictate where and how freshwater planarians fission SUMMARY: Planarians are tiny squishy worms that go through binary fission by ripping themselves in two parts: the head part and the tail part. This article looks at the mechanism of the ripping. First, there is the formation of the waist, then pulsation of the head, then… Continue reading Planarian Fission
