A similar Swedish unit called PIUS (Process Inherent Ultimate Safety) floods with water in the event of a mishap; the boron-treated liquid instantly stops the reactor. West Germany is experimenting with small modular units that can be cooled more quickly and efficiently than the present generation of nuclear behemoths...

But for most of us that is not the appeal of analog. After all, the extra information is of no use. It whizzes by too fast for the human eye to apprehend. When you ask someone for the time and he answers, "Four fifty-six and thirty-seven seconds," you know he's wearing a digital watch.
