Could we make it cheaper? Sure. But not without compromising on the things that matter.
Thoughtful design. Quality materials. Cookware made without PTFE, PFOA, or PFAS.

... This is honestly a reasonable requirement. Especially with all the possible consequences.
I am discovering an entire world of specifically anti-terrorism engineering and i am fascinated
You never knew that? Nuclear power plants are required to tank a missile, as to show they cannot be targetted.
it’s one of those things ive just never thought about, and honestly it’s kind of nice that there are smart people out there worrying about this stuff so i dont have to
Nuclear is trying it's damn hardest to be accepted as the ultimate fuel source
imagining the alternate timeline where they tried to do this on 9/11 and nothing happened
nuclear power plants are soo insanely save yet people rather kill themselves slowly with fossil fuels
That spec says at 150 m/s which is barely half crusie speed and no where near dive speed.
The ultimate design for structural stability.

On that note too, the testing on Nuclear fuel casks is cool too. Those things are ludicrously durable.
Indeed, one of the many nuclear plants I consulted for being built. Not sure of when it was added, but inside there’s a multi-layered missile shield they can close over the reactor too.
its because the guys who planned 9/11 initally proposed crashing into a lot of other buildings including nuclear plants im pretty sure

Wow, I had no idea there was such a law—it's such a surprising and fascinating fact!
so that's why they haven't been able to set up any nuclear reactors in the past few decades
Notice how we don't require the same for public schools. Really makes you think.
Good? Like this is based? I guess? Imagine what Isr- I mean terrorists could do if they hi-jacked another plane?
