Q1         Can thereaction in a nuclear power plant be turned off?

A1         Steven Haddock Studied at YorkUniversity (Canada)Mar 14

Yes, but the core remains very hot for a long timeafterwards so water must 
still circulate through the reactor to keep the metal partsfrom melting.

Reactors areregularly shut down for maintenance and re-fuelling and can be shut 
down in anemergency through a procedure known as SCRAM. Either procedure 
consists of inserting allthe control rods back into the reactor, which 
immediately stops fission fromoccurring.

Q3         I’ve readthat a baking soda and water mixture or toothpaste will get 
rid of scratcheslike on prescription glasses. Is this true or just some myth?

A3         C Stuart HardwickAward-Winning ScifiAuthor, Analog regularSun

Baking soda and water or toothpaste, can be used as apolishing agent suitable 
for many purposes—but NOT polishing prescriptionglasses, especially since most 
glasses these days aremade of polycarbonate or some other polymer far soft than 
glass. Using animprovised abrasive on a lense is a quick and easy way to ruin 
it.

Lensmaker Bausch & Lomb recommends cleaningeyeglasses with plain soap and 
water, then carefullydrying with a clean cotton. If they need anything more 
than that, take them toa local eyeglass store, many of which will be happy to 
clean and adjust themfor free, and which will have the equipment and supplies 
necessary to repolishthem if that’s advisable.

join it laterto the rest of the buildings electrical supply.

and canteringmaterial will not have gap in between so as to avoid concrete 
entering insideeven after fixing covers to steel reinforcement; and be filled 
with dry sand.

Q5         What is thedifference between a fantasy novel and a science fiction 
novel?

A5         Claire Jordan Active in UK SF fandomand fanfiction since 1981, mod 
of Potter discussion groupSun

Science fiction makes at least an attempt to soundlike something that could be 
a reasonable extrapolation from currenttechnological and/or scientific 
knowledge. If it contains magic, there will besome kind of in-universe 
explanation of how magic fits into a scientificframework, and if it contains 
creatures that couldn’t have evolved, such ascentaurs, then somebody 
constructed them in a laboratory.

In “hard” science fiction the quasi-scientific whysand wherefores of how the 
storyverse works are a major focus of the story. Inspace opera they’re more of 
a plot device, like the Babel Fish in TheHitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

Fantasy just accepts magic and/or fantastical creaturesas part of the 
background of the storyverse andthen runs with them. It doesn’t attempt to 
explain how they work or why theyare there in scientific terms.

Fantasy too can be either the focus of the story, or justa backdrop. The Harry 
Potter books, for example, areessentially a mix of boarding school story and 
spy thriller, and almost thewhole of the fantasy aspect, except for the 
Horcruxes and Legilimency, is justwindow-dressing and doesn’t really affect the 
plot much. It wouldn’t change thestory one bit if they were playing rugby 
instead of Quidditch, and using gunsinstead of wands - only “Your enemy is 
functionally immortal and can readminds” affects the plot much.

Q6         Can a cattell the gender of humans?

A6         C.S. Friedman Science Fiction andFantasy novelist Mar 23

Yes. Weknow this because thereare cases of both cats and dogs fearing members 
of one sex and not the other.It is usually assumed this reflects past abuse at 
the hands of one or theother. We also know catscan smell testosterone on the 
cats, so that they instinctively know when levelsare dropping in a recently 
neutered cat, so it is thought they may do the samewith humans, or perhaps 
respond to different vocal qualities.

battery: A cell that carries a charge that can poweran electric current. 
current: A flow of electrons. electromagnet: A magnet madeof an insulated wire 
coiled around an iron core (or any magnetic material suchas iron, steel, 
nickel, cobalt) with electric current flowing through it toproduce magnetism.

Anker 521 Magnetic Battery is tested and proven to have80% capacity after 32 
months, compared to a standardportable charger that drops to 60% of its initial 
capacity. Coated with arubberized finish to protect the magnetic portable 
charger against accidentaldrops.

2ndanswer- Jocelyn Joseph, Emergency and Casualty at 
Hospitals(1991-present)Answered 18m ago

No.A battery is an emf source(electromotive force) for electric and electronic 
circuits. It stores energy inchemical bonds and releases it as electric 
current. Example: The PbSO4 leadacid accumulator can be charged and discharged 
repeatedly about 800 times tostore energy that's released when lead and lead 
oxide inter-converted in thesulphuric acid electrolyte.

The sources ofenergy are Solar, Hydro, Wind, Tidal, Geothermal, and Biomass for 
methane.

Q10              Whathappens to a bee hive if the honey is not collected?

A10       Peter Kaye Former Commercial Beekeeper.at Self-Employment 
(1984–2020)Mar 17

Nothing much really, a mate of mine bought a macadamiafarm, and asked if I 
would put some bees on the place,while I was there he asked if I would check 
out an old hive that came with the place,He showed me where it was, and I was 
astonished that it was that old a lot of the wood has rottedaway, but the bees 
were still using it. I carefully tried to removethe lid but it was completely 
glued down so had to open it forcefully to breakthe honey comb, WHAT AMESS, the 
whole hive was completely filled out every nook and cranny had honeyin it, I 
actually had to go home and get a new empty bottom box andtry to transfer the 
queen and brood into a new box, ( which I managed to do, )I took the full super 
and all the other bits of honey home for extraction, most of the honey was that 
oldit was almost black, BUT ONE OF THE NICEST HONEYS I HAVE EVERTASTED. So that 
is what happens if the honey is not collected, the bees will fill every bit of 
spacethey can, and end up making a real mess of the hive.
