It's a reference to Family Guy and Star Wars.

Seriously, why would you make a 2 meter (over 6 feet) wide hole that leads directly to a reactor that has no armored (or at least retaining) wall around it? Even tanks have tapered exhaust pipes. And who the hell (see the third movie as well) has an active reactor without walls or shields or something to keep shit from floating into it? And why were there two guys inside the Death Star's weapon, standing right next to the path of the beam and not a railing in sight? Where was OSHA?

lol

hey no logic in movies

shame

next thing you know

we will be talking about how

nuclear reactors do not explode

like bombs

Well, the one thing I give them is that they never said the reactor was made of something other than high explosives. If you really wanted me to punch holes in Star Wars, I would do it a million times without even bringing up the newer movies. I prefer Star Trek, not that they are perfect, but with The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, they were fairly meticulous about getting their tech right. Once Voyager came out, it spiraled into hell's maw never to return.

lower percentage of weapons grade fuel... unless you mean why they dont explode at all... which is because the reactions are controlled by an opposing force (lead pipes block new particles hitting other particles thereby creating a chain reaction which - when reaching critical mass - goes boom)

oh, sorry, too late...

Even if you pull all the control rods, it causes a meltdown, which is a permeation of the upper crust. It won't go boom cause critical mass requires the nuclear material to reach a super high density, which is achieved in warheads by a spherical arrangement of explosives, timed down to the millisecond to coordinate the pressure. A nuclear reactor lacks both the right fuel type and the pressure causing variables. Even if pressure builds up, the superstructure fails. Before then, it's likely the whole damn thing will just catch fire.

So no, nuclear reactors can't go boom. But it is pretty.

damn pigeons

Ha!

Well, my Tau army has arrived, unfortunately USPS fails at shipping and the seller failed at packaging, four of the models (a Crisis Battlesuit, Commander Shadowsun, a Kroot, and a Firewarrior) will need some glue as they are damaged.

seems it is time to sue

Who's Sue?

sue (so̵̅o̅)

transitive verb sued, suing su′·ing

You still haven't asnwered my queston

*and I know what you were talking about. I'm just being absurd.*

LOL

yeah, me and my father love to watch Nuclear Disaster Movies for comedy (My father was a Nuclear Reactor Operator)

Probably the only one who actually wrote out a Nuclear Disaster Scenario in the ficition world that scared me was Walter Jon Williams in the book The Rift

Great one of those Law laywers that clog downs our RPg games...

Is there any other type of lawyer? As for the damaged goods, I would be tempted to ask for a little monetary recovery if they are not fixable. Otherwise, if you used eBay (i forget) I would simply give them a crap rating and say why to warn others. And yeah, I have a friend who's an engineer and use to work on both surface reactors and submarines. He always gags when seeing those movies.

wow that was the fourth try before this damned forum would work

 

-Exile

Yeah it's lagging alot this week

 

maybe it is a sign that this thread will come to an end soon

 

-Exile

The End is Nigh

then again, maybe not.

harpo

 

Who knows..maybe?

the thread apocalypse is comming

get your posts saved

repent now

pray to the lord

give me money

convert other people in other thread

people with different opinion will be silenced

a powerfull organisation will be build upon this dogma
