Seguimos de celebración por haber alcanzado los 10K y, dado que lo prometido es deuda, os presentamos un nuevo súper-hilo:

¿Qué son los combustibles resistentes a accidentes (#ATF)? ¿Qué ventajas ofrecen respecto al combustible convencional? ¿Qué diseños están desarrollo?
El combustible #nuclear de la mayoría de reactores en operación está formado por pastillas cilíndricas de UO2, con un grado de enriquecimiento en uranio-235 < 5%, alineadas dentro de tubos de aleación de circonio (Zircaloy). Estos tubos se conocen como vainas de combustible Fuente: Foro Nuclear
Es también el resultado de un largo proceso de optimización (+40 años de investigación y desarrollo continuo!) destinado a mejorar su comportamiento y fiabilidad bajo las condiciones extremas del interior del reactor (temperatura, presión, irradiación, oxidación, etc.)

This is going to be quite a long thread #BoatsThatTweet so please read all the tweets. Have you ever come across "sticky fuel"? There's been reports of an increasing number of fuel related engine breakdowns that aren't related to diesel bug. #Diesel #Fuels
Our friends at @RCRRescue report that there’s been an uncharacteristic peak in fuel-related component breakdowns not linked to diesel bug. Injection pumps were found to have failed even though the diesel was clear and bright.
RCR engineers found in both cases the injector pump racks had seized solid and the nozzles were blocked, and when replacing the plunger filter head, they found the fuel had a sticky, syrup-like substance.

#Microsoft #Pharma
The #Gates Foundation has made over the last two decades, ...close to $2 billion in tax-deductible charitable donations to private companies—including some of the largest businesses in the world, such as #GlaxoSmithKline, #Unilever, #IBM, & #NBC Universal #Media."
