...CHOSEN. FRANCE, as the site for the world's first nuclear fusion reactor; by the six members of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) consortium; in Moscow. After 17 years of talks and delays, ITER chose France's proposal to build the reactor in Cadarache, near Marseilles, over Japan's bid for the $12.18 billion deal. Expected to be completed in 10 years, the experimental facility is an attempt to produce inexpensive, inexhaustible energy by harnessing the same nuclear reactions that power...
...outsourcing firms - which include IBM - have captured only about €1.2 billion, half last year's market share, according to sourcing advisors TPI. If that number keeps shrinking, there might be a few more IBM employees feeling the Big Blues. - By Michael Brunton Waiting For A Reaction The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) won't begin producing energy before 2050, but it's already generating hot air. Last week, Japan considered filing a formal protest after French officials - including President Jacques Chirac - indicated that the French site at Cadarache, 65 km north of Marseilles, had all but bagged...
...matter, Wood has to think about the military, since the military, by making requests and assignments, gives direction to her work in "thermonuclear applications" (designing warheads). "The military wants XYZ bomb, and you give 'em the best you can." She tests a bomb's size and, like Agnew before her, measures yield. "If they [the military] say they want two megatons, I give 'em two; if they want 2,000, I give 'em 2,000." The measure of success is if a bomb tests satisfactorily in Nevada and then goes into stockpile. In that case Wood works with the engineer...
...need these resources in the working out of what happens when a star explodes. These supernova explosions are very interesting. Some collapse and become black holes, while others explode like a thermonuclear bomb,” said Clowes Professor of Science Robert P. Kirshner...
...mass medium--in this case, movies--to affect American politics in new ways. If that's the case, expect the next generation of campaign strategists to precede every major election not only with the traditional TV ad buys but also with a scheme for the rollout of some thermonuclear book, movie, CD or even video game, all designed to tilt the political balance just in time...
