Do you mean nuclear fusion? Fusion plants will likely produce a large amount of radioactively contaminated materials (such as core components) that are subject to neutron bombardment. Fusion is likely to be far safer then a fission plant due to the need for a high degree of precision and...

I'd like to see a return to Gas cooled reactors, fiascos and AGR design flaws aside they do offer some good safety advantages particularly in the event of loss of coolant incidents.

Apparently if they jumboised existing tokamak designs like the Joint European Torus then they could produce 50 MW fusion power stations, but they wouldn’t be worth it given the small power output. Given our appalling track record with nuclear power (look no further than the Dungeness B...

Given the train wreck (forgive the pun) that GNOME 3 and Unity are (and what Windows 8 is likely to be), people in the computer world currently seem to have forgotten all of the well established usability principles to try to pander to tablets and be “hip” at the same time.

I've just thought, would the recorders use magnetic tape?

Windows NT (including 2000/XP/Vista/7) have a MS-DOS emulator that doesn't offer 100% compatibility with all DOS applications such as ones expecting direct access to hardware, memory hacks etc. As others have pointed out, the Windows NT family is not DOS based (it's based on a OS called VMS and...

As far as I'm aware, some ATMs still use OS/2 Warp and OS/2 is still used by some companies for mission critical purposes. Linux does appear to be gaining traction in the embedded market, wich is a good thing considering how abysmal Windows CE is!

I was on the Metro on Thursday when it was suspended. We were waiting at Jesmond when we could hear water gushing down the lift shaft, I managed to grab a snap of the lift as we were leaving the station.

The North East has a bit of a dilemma, on one hand we can join in with a larger Northern franchise dominated by Leeds/Manchester or we could go it alone. In terms of new rolling stock fro the North East, a Northern representative made it clear that the North East is unlikely to receive any...

On the approach to Jesmond, there used to be an additional set of points to allow Newcastle bound trains to cross over onto the West Jesmond bound track, this might account for the right hand route indicator. If you look, you can see the overhead line cross over where the points used to be...

Many years ago I seen an out of service set ran to St James via platform 3 at Monument. I was quite surprised at the speed it came through as well. It did have to reduce speed for the signal at the west end of the platform though (I think it's a fixed red aspect).
