We need Mencken today!
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -H.L. Mencken, writer, editor,and critic (1880-1956)
Double trouble, LOFT and rubble; Zirc-X burn and vessel bubble!
"It is apparent, however, that more experiments with Zircaloy cladding are needed to overcome the impression left from Run 9573." AEC Commissioners, January 28, 1973.
