The reactors will auto trip (scram) on a seismic event. The loss of the electrical grid would also cause a trip, so in any case the units were going to go offline. The real issue here is the failure of the backup diesel generator sets, if they had of continued to operate and the decay heat...

The explosion is probably the result of steam pressure inside the secondary containment structure. That structure, as you say, probably serves no real or little safety purpose and therefore won't take anywhere near as much pressure as the primary containment. Its an older style BWR reactor so...

According to some stats its Rangers first penalty at Parkhead since the year 2000 :eek:.

Having driven both and having had my ST for around two years (including getting the Mountune kit fitted recently) I can tell you that there is a world of difference between them. The Impreza will outrun an ST on a twisty B road all day long. Ok its interior looks like something out of the 80's...

Most large thermal plants (at least in this country) are no more efficient than 40% efficient. Unless your into combined heat and power (CHP) you will never see high efficiency figures, not much you can do about that, its due to the laws of thermodynamics ;). Nuclear can load cycle without...

And you know that because your either: a) an FIA approved WRC crash expert b) taking a wild guess :rolleyes: There has been deaths in rallying from drivers/co-drivers since Group B was banned. Unfortunately, you can add all the safety defences you want into a rally car but there will...

It is overpriced, simple as that, there are plenty of other ST170's out there. I'd go for one without all the "addons" that one has and probably slightly newer. Getting one with the two options packs (comfort and custom) is difficult but not impossible. The main thing to watch is that the...

Just a torque wrench will do, avoid the grease.

Not really, when you consider which country built the first nuclear power station to produce electricity for the civil market? Thats right, it was us. But, as usual, through mis-management, pandering to equipment suppliers and allowing the green lobby far too much time in the courts we...

Don't get a two tone, they look horrid and don't be silly and order from abroad as it's really not worth the hassle. You'd be surprised how good HMG Customs are........ Go to a skirmish site registered with UKARA, play in three skirmishes in not less than two months (eg. play at least three...

Don't think I'll be swapping my ST for one, it just doesn't offer that much more (although a test drive may persuade me otherwise ;) ). Although a few mods to the ST will probably keep me happy for a while...... The Top Gear test track beckons, obviously the be all and end all of...

Price it at an acceptable level and it would be easy to fill Wembley to capacity :).

How much did they get paid last year though? ;) I bet it doesn't affect them half as much as the workers on the shop floor :(. By the sounds of it the unions, whilst protecting their members interests in the short term, are maybe not looking at the long term picture. GM seems to be...

That's not what it says on the box ;). System requirements - Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz. It should be playable on low settings on that hardware, at the moment it's not.

You've got to laugh at that quote. It's currently unplayable for me on an 8800GTS 640MB at 1280x1024 with everything on low. Considering my machine deals with Crysis at 1900x1200 (at medium) without issue I'm rather perturbed to say the least ;). It's going back in the box until: a) I...

Nothing like a bit of dignity from the winners is there. Shame a few on this forum couldnt learn that :rolleyes: ;). Anyway, looking at Glock, he was slower in the last sector (2.2 seconds slower than Trulli in the same car) but the thing that will be annoying most people is that he just...

So thats what its meant to look like when its clean, I'll need to clean mine properly at some point ;). Doubt it from a financial standpoint, the RS is (allegedly) going to be £25k new so its already in a different price bracket from the STs. It's also going to be in rather limited numbers...

There is a small matter of the different cars they have at their disposal ;). Stick Hamilton in a Honda, Button in a McLaren and I have no doubt that results would be reversed. Needless to say, Button has never had a title winning car and probably never will. Hamilton was given one from...

The ST170 is a MK1.5 focus and there aren't any revisions :). The early cars had issues due to the engine mapping so few made 170bhp. This was fixed after the first year and all of them should have had the updated maps during their first or second annual service. Try and find one with the...
