Bridgeville, California (population 25) was the first town to be sold on eBay in 2002, and has been up for sale three times since. [1] In January 2003, Thatch Cay, the last privately held and undeveloped U.S. Virgin Island, was listed for auction by Idealight International. The minimum bid was US$3 million and the sale closed January 16, 2003. [2]
Reasons in favor of a sale were: The commercial risk of the company's business in Asia may have been too high for a company then owned by taxpayers; if Westinghouse won the bid for any new nuclear stations in a UK competition, questions may be raised of favoritism, but if it lost, it might have been seen as a lack of faith in its own technology ...
The reactor is proprietary molten salt reactor design that builds on two existing designs: the Denatured Molten Salt Reactor (DMSR) and Small Modular Advanced High Temperature Reactor (smAHRT). Both designs are from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The key technology of the IMSR® is the integration of the primary reactor components, the ...
Since our first, very brief successful attempt at fusion, more than 70 years ago, its promise of clean, cheap, and abundant energy has eluded us. ... Fusion reactors won’t reliably produce ...
The Energy Catalyzer (also called E-Cat) is a claimed cold fusion reactor [1] [2] devised by inventor Andrea Rossi [3] with support from the late physicist Sergio Focardi. [4] [5] An Italian patent, which received a formal but not a technical examination, describes the apparatus as a "process and equipment to obtain exothermal reactions, in particular from nickel and hydrogen". [6]
If muon-catalyzed d–t nuclear fusion is realized practically, it will be a much more attractive way of generating power than conventional nuclear fission reactors because muon-catalyzed d–t nuclear fusion (like most other types of nuclear fusion), produces far fewer harmful (and far less long-lived) radioactive wastes.
The hot comb was an invention developed in France as a way for women with coarse curly hair to achieve a fine straight look traditionally modeled by historical Egyptian women. [44] However, it was Annie Malone who first patented this tool, while her protégé and former worker, Madam C. J. Walker , widened the teeth.
On 4 July 2000, she relocated to New York City, [5] [6] [7] writing and recording songs, and has since released ten albums on her independent label Kurly Queen.
