    Did you get the email I sent you? I cc'd Adie and she claimed it never
    reached her so if you didn't receive it either I'll get it sorted.

    That doesn't quite tie in with the maps that I've got access to. They
    show areas that had zero background radiation before the **** up still
    have background radiation present today. Nobody knows what the long
    term effects are and that's why farmers still aren't allowed to keep
    animals on that land.
    Until you **** about with it.

    If you had an RC30 it'd be the one time I'd be faster than Champ
    getting anywhere, even if it was to beat you to a pulp.

    Just arrived, I didn't get the first one but I've got a mail from you
    18:18 this evening. I'll read & reply in a bit.

    If its in reasonable condition and you ride it like its an *old bike*,
    there shouldn't be anything other than tweaking needed, surely?

    Steady 65, chill out, no worries... unless it happens to be a bit
    neglected.

    I had one when they were new, OK a 750 and the current one is a 650
    but they were far from reliable then. It does look a bit of a shed but
    mechanically it's as good as they get - which ain't great.
    Steady 65 for a few hours and lots of bits will fall off, trust me on
    this, no matter how well bolted together things are they *will*
    vibrate loose.

    It's a Triumph: it was "neglected" before it left the factory.

  16. There *might* be something to that, but I'll reserve judgement until
    more figures are in. I'm not anti-nuke, and I would like to see safe,
    clean Nu Kleer power being generated in a responsible manner. Nothing
    has yet been done to meet the challenge of long-term storage or
    obliteration of nuclear waste, though, and that's a biggie.

    <cue darsy and rail-gun to the sun>

    I wish they'd pull their fingers out and get on with fusion.

    Of course, every new nuke facility would have to be surrounded by armed
    rent-a-cops 24/7 because of the world situation, but that's not new.

    They're already surrounded by armed cops 24/7.

    It's slightly disconcerting to suddenly have an armed cop appear out
    of the darkness when you're sitting on a bench having a smoke break at
    3am and don't expect anyone else to be about.

    That's not right for the high level stuff. Glassification, sealed in
    concrete and stainless steel, buried deep (a mile) underground out under the
    sea. The much greater mass of low level contaminated waste is more
    problematic. I think the huge *vast* underground workings in Salt Domes
    might be the best solution for that.

    There are those who say it is unacceptable due to the tiny risk that a few
    radionucletides could find there way to the surface in water in perhaps
    100,000 years. I don't think I need voice an opinion of them.
    It doesn't take much of a look with an engineers eye to see that the Torus
    designs are unlikely to provide an economic power producing reactor this
    century if ever . They are experiments in high energy physics. OTOH
    implosion and fusion of beads of fuel looks more interesting and might
    provide something this century.

    There is no need for angst about power production. The French (and AEA) have
    quietly proved a fission cycle with Fast Breeders can provide for many
    centuries to come.
    They always have been as Andy has said. Bit of a joke but it's incredibly
    hard to keep them motivated over decades. The SAS used to mount the odd mock
    raid. Probably good enough to repel the odd raghead.

    They did that where I used to work and I would always try to get on
