Jed, what happens from 0 to 300 min?
Large heat burst during the period when the gas stream is turned on. This graph
shows data after the gas stream is turned off, as I said in my initial messages.
Why is this critical time missing?
It is shown in other graphs.

For those interested, it would appear that Blacklight Power has
announced another milestone in its never ending quest to legitimize
the controversial BLP process. The ever unflappable J. Barchak posted
the following at the HSG forum:

Take this with a grain of sodium chloride, as it is

this is not sounding too cynical -

I think this is only a way to provide chemical heat
by converting UH6 to U3O8.
I do not see how it could be chemical if the assertion
that it will run 24/7 for *5 years* before refueling
is true.
If the U is natural, that much of it (with water as a
moderator) would certainly go
Is the so-called battery reactor chemical or
otherwise ? this is an interesting question.
If the fuel is depleted Uranium, and there is a lot of
that stuff around, then the operation could be related
to recycling reactants - using both the heat and gamma
flux from radioactive decay to reduce the

If this is a nuclear reactor, the radiation would be too dangerous to
make this practical. Even if it were buried deep enough to stop the
radiation, it could not be safely dug up after 5 years. Besides, no
sane person would want a nuclear reactor buried near them.

AFAIK depleted uranium typically means the stuff left over after
U235 separation process from the mined natural uranium, not what's
left over after burning U in fuel rods.

True, and there was implication otherwise.
Depleted uranium has about 1/3 the U235 that natural

Robin,
If this energy is produced by a nuclear reaction, then neutrons and
gamma are produced. This requires significant shielding. In addition,
the core would be too active to dig up in five years and haul away for
reprocessing, at least right away. In addition, the electric conversion
