Are those real treads?

I would say yes because you can see were the bogies are riding the tread. It is darker in color. It would be easy to use the existing front wheel drive configuration in converting to a tread set up like this.

I could see Dowly in this!

That is how the NR-1 can getaway with having only the forward half of the reactor shielded with lead.

Who promoted you from Jack Ryan to Doctor Strangelove?

Besides, there's no rust on the November either

I don't know about the sub or the squid, but the girl is obviously fake.

Well, she's definitely not Japanese or that Squid would be leaving the sub well alone...

Just to clarify. The glow associated with Cherenkov radiation seldom occurs further than 4-5 meters from the source. However that 4-5 meter glow of Chernkov radiation can be seen from further than 4-5 meters.

Just wanted to clear up a possible misunderstanding. If anyone on this forum has not seen Cherenkov radiation glows, go take a tour of a nuclear power plant or nuclear lab. I have not seen any picture do any justice to seeing it in person. It is beautiful.

I still remember my first look. It was at Ginna NPP in New York in 1970. It was probably that first look at the glow that started me on my interest in nuclear technology. It was a beautiful thing to see.

No, what you wrote was correct. It just could have been misunderstood by non nukers.

Don't think you would ever see that coming. If you can see Cherenkov radiation in the air, you gots problems brother!!!

Do they still give tours? Probably not since 911 huh?

Taking school kids inside nuke power plants. I wonder if that would even be allowed these days?
