...flowing in the separated secondary loop. Presumably only low-level radioactivity will be passed on, and so, in a sense, the heat passing out of the system will not be accompanied by any dangerous cargo. Meanwhile, the water from the core, having yielded its heat?and thereby become denser and heavier?will flow down and out of the generator into the primary loop's "cold leg." That will carry the water back into the hot reactor, where the water will be re heated, expanded and able to carry off still more heat in a steady repeat of the cycle...
...planet Krypton is about to explode, and Superman's father Jor-El (Brando) sends his infant son in a spaceship to the distant earth. His touchdown nearly kills a Midwest farm couple, the Kents, as they are driving through wheatfields in their truck. Because little Superman has a denser molecular structure, he shows his powers at once. His landing has blown one of the Rents' tires, and the superboy helps out his new, adoptive father by lifting up the whole rear of the rig for the wheel change. At school, Clark, as he is called, can kick...
...further back in time, the universe gets increasingly hotter and denser," Weinberg told the overflow crowd in Science Center...
...black families are living below the official poverty line ($5,500 for a family of four). As agricultural jobs continue to dry up, unskilled blacks are being forced off the land. Some drift into the shabby single-family shacks in the ghettos of Southern cities; others travel to the denser ghettos of the North...
...sniffed and measured both nitrogen (3%) and argon (1.5%) in the Martian atmosphere. Nitrogen is an essential element in the molecules of terrestrial life. Also, the presence of approximately the same percentage of argon found in the earth's air suggests that Mars at one time had a denser atmosphere more conducive to the evolution of life. Said Dr. Michael McElroy, a Harvard University physicist: "At an early stage. Mars apparently had enough pressure to hold quantities of water." And even today, notes the scientist, Mars may be capable of supporting life. "Look at what we need for life...
