This is possible because the Indians use liquid lead as a coolant.

Re: [Vo]:Michio Kaku: One solar flare could bring many Fukushimas
Around two-thirds is right. Many online sources quote 32% and I recall 33% from a class I took eons ago. Two other things: 1. Controlling the reactivity of an operating reactor is extremely complex. See for example Section 3, Core Cell Improved Design, here: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~doster/NE405/Manuals/BWR6GeneralDescription.pdf 2. For any large generator, the load has got to roughly match the generating capacity unless you want to damage or destroy the equipment. This why generating plants (of all types) trip offline so aggressively when something goes seriously wrong with the electrical grid. The idea of the operators trying to modulate the plant reactivity and also switch in massive dummy loads to match the plant output, all in the midst of an accident scenario that may have left the plant in an unknown condition, seems wildly unrealistic to me.

I concluded that a scram most likely was necessary since the output of the reactor is normally many times the requirement to supply the backup equipment load. I suspect that it would be extremely difficult to back the power output downward enough without loosing system stability. In fact, the power resulting just from the nuclear decay elements might exceed the load required with no ability to dissipate the excess energy safely. One might wonder if the left over heat could be deposited within the inlet water as long as the pumps were operating. I suppose that it might have been possible had the personnel at the reactors been trained to handle the problem in that manner. I think the thermal efficiency of most nuclear plants is around 25-30%. That means that they usually dispose of around two thirds of their full power output as waste heat. IOW if the auxiliary equipment is operating, then they can easily dispose of even the total power output at a reduced operating level.

Jeff It is. :) However that's not quite what I had in mind. To start with, it would probably require some physical modifications to the plant, and also changes to automated control. BTW they shouldn't need to switch in massive dummy loads. The sort of things that could be done are: 1) Reduce power output to a minimum by inserting control rods. 2) Dump steam directly from the secondary coolant circuit if needed initially. 3) Restrict steam flow to a single turbine (not necessarily one of the main turbines; this could be a smaller turbine with little more than enough capacity to power the plant). I suspect that similar measures are already taken when a reactor is scrammed anyway. IOW what I have in mind is more like reducing the power output of the plant to a bare minimum rather than a complete scram, with any remaining excess power dumped as heat into the cooling system rather than being converted into electric power.

Not just a large number of collisions. Ron's theory is specifically about D nuclei that approach a Pd nucleus to within about 100 fm (i.e. the size of the K shell). So it's not just about collisions, it's about two D nuclei being at a distance of 100 fm from a Pd nucleus at the same time. (Mind you I think the chances of this are about on a par with a snowflakes hope in hell ;) (Though I suspect that a head on collision between two 20 keV D nuclei in free space would be almost as useful). Note that only the 20 keV D nuclei can get that close, and they have to get lucky and penetrate to the K shell before they lose too much energy ionizing Pd valence electrons. The question that needs to be answered is: If a 23 MeV alpha from the fusion reaction creates 100(?) 20 keV deuterons, then what is the chance that two of them will arrive at the K shell of the same Pd atom concurrently? (They don't hang around for very long.) If the collisions are inelastic, then I understand there will be energy transferred to the lattice. But the size of the substrate atoms is large compared to the deuterons, so perhaps the treansfer of energy would be minimal? A deuteron is a charged particle, and as it passes through another atom, it disrupts the (mostly valence) electrons of the atom it's passing through, and ionizes the atom to varying extents. This costs energy which comes from the kinetic energy of the passing charged particle (in this case a deuteron). Consequently, every atom along the way that gets ionized decreases the energy of the passing deuteron. BTW the same thing happens to the fast alpha from the fusion reaction. Later these ionized atoms will retrieve free electrons and release photons of various wavelengths. Thus the energy of the reaction is spread across many atoms in the lattice as chemical energy which is ultimately converted (degraded) into heat. BTW2 This may also tie in with Paul Brown's device. If the ionized electrons have kinetic energy of their own that is well in excess of the ionization energy, and a strong magnetic field is in place, then you may get cyclotron radiation as the electrons head for home, i.e. back toward a positively charged ion. If you can find a way to synchronize this cyclotron radiation and capture it, then you have a means of converting fast particle energy into electric power, without using heat as an intermediary.

Re: [Vo]:The excimer laser
If a pinball machine were to follow the rules of quantum mechanics, this is how it would work. The pinballs would be strongly attracted to the rubber bouncers like they were magnets…they would gain more energy if the obstruction was large. For a large obstruction, the pinballs would stick like glue to the rubber bouncer and gain loads of speed and momentum. This is called Anderson Localization. In our discussions to date, the question that has not yet been addressed in detail is how fatigue cracks in cold fusion electrodes, nano-hairs on the surface of micro-grains and pitting in the wire that Celani uses all contribute to the cold fusion process. This question revolves around the wave based quantum mechanical property called Anderson localization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_localization What nature does in one instance, she can act in an opposite way in another. For instants, the wave nature of a quantum particle can cause a quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle tunnels through a barrier that classically it could not surmount. Anderson localization is the opposite quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle is fixed at a location that it classically should have no problem in surmounting. Think of it this way: in our classical world, a helicopter can fly over a mountain range without being disturbed by the underlying landscape, provided that it flies higher than the highest mountain, or provided that for the height at which it flies, there is a labyrinth of valleys allowing it to cross the mountain chain. But in the quantum world, a quantum helicopter has a very good chance of being unable to cross the chain, even if there is a percolating path of valleys, and, in some situations, even if it has enough energy to fly over the highest peak. And even more perplexing, the higher this quantum helicopter flies the less chance it has to get over the mountain. What happens instead is that its quantum wave remains trapped, due to the interference of the multiply reflected wave at the various mountain peaks. And the lager the electron is, that is, the more energy it has, the more likely the obstacles in its path will nail it to its original position; this strange behavior gives rise to a phenomenon known as Anderson localization. Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2012-09-broadens-quantum-mechanics.html#jCp When high energy electrons flow over a cracked, hairy, or pitted surface, these electrons will pile up and accumulate because their large wave forms are snagged by these surface imperfections. The bigger these quantum particle wave forms are, the more likely that these particles will be impaled and imprisoned by these surface imperfections. The same is true for proton cooper pairs that these imprisoned high energy electrons produce via the Shukla-Eliasson effect. These cooper pairs first form a pile of stuff called a Bose glass. A Bose glass is a disordered form of a Bose-Einstein condensate. When the conditions become favorable, these localize pairs form a Bose-Einstein condensate. In QM speak, these nonlinear bosonic matter waves can undergo a localization-delocalization quantum phase transition in any spatial dimension when the interaction strength is varied; the transition brings the system from a non-interacting Anderson insulator to an interacting superfluid. For the research that supports this new quantum mechanical interpretation see http://www.google.com/url?sa=trct=jq=esrc=sfrm=1source=webcd=1cad=rjasqi=2ved=0CB8QFjAAurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Fnature%2Fjournal%2Fv489%2Fn7416%2Ffull%2Fnature11406.htmlei=635iULfnNYTO0QHU8YDoDQusg=AFQjCNEFWcWRYj5-jhRJNdgy7xEmcrTgRQsig2=_-S22pviwufHLkkd99P9iA Also see. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1109.4403 This reference is the underlying paper called Bose glass and Mott glass of quasiparticles in a doped quantum magnet This concept is one of the important concepts in LENR and I will not tire in explaining it until you understand quantum mechanics enables LENR.
