It is so much more unsafe to store onsite. Spent fuel sits in a spent fuel pool to keep it safely cooled. This pool is outside the containment building. It’s just a metal industrial building with no protection for the spent fuel. The French have been reprocessing fuel since they started using...
This is not true the real advantage rome had was comanders like centurions or tribunes which been better trained to be more independent and it some times payed off as for example in cynoscephalae
Yeah, it is an entirely new basemap based on @Spinovenator 's re-projection here
It is my first time with something like this as well, but if you'd rather not dip your toes in with that in mind I wouldn't mind
One thing could the to slow the decline of Light Rail in US cities throughout the 20th century so that many are still extant in 1973 when the oil shortages occurred. If still extant, even in a considerably reduced form the oil shocks would force more people onto the system and give them a boost...
Turkey exported tobacco to the US???
Wow.
Talk about coal to Newcastle!
And wasn't Turkish tobacco considered strong and rough? I always figured Turkish went into e.g. French Gauloises and to English pipe smokers.
I also remember reading about how Americans' cigarette rations in WWII were...
Bush will have a "new" Secretary of State. Our choices here include James Baker, bizarrely Pat Robertson, or someone like Lee Iacocca. A new "advisor" on foreign policy might have impacts. Bush might prefer a "steady hand on the till", someone who would help things go more like OTL Gulf War and...
The holy grail of any timeline in which the Roman Republic survives is the Republic making a successful transition from a city-state that happens to rule over a Empire into some form of Federal government, in which outlying regions are not only allowed self government, but also allow to formally...
Is it? The causes of the conflict (religious conflict, taxation, centralization of power) would still be there. By the time it started IOTL (1566) the son of Philip and Mary would be only around 11, and Philip would have no reason to really change his policies until then. A rebellion is still...
Besides, using your fuel rods once then storing forever is stupid and wasteful. Most of the fuel is still there, but chain reaction is stifled by all the neutron-absorbing fission waste. Sensible countries reprocess spend fuel to recycle the usable U-235.
Now, a molten fuel reactor with...
Its meant to be mix of various conspiracy theories and crazy stereotypes
I guess that could be the hint
(featuring worse COVID, de-facto split of USA and renewed Caliphat, making Molotov-Ribbentrop-ish deal with China)
You spelled "Labor" the American way, in the articles about Gordon Brown. Also "Swine flu response team", McCain is going to handle this better than OTL Reagan handled AIDS or Trump handled COVID.
It would certainly be a safer match than a French one or to one of her relatives in her mind, as Henry VIII would not have to worry about the Tudor line being extinguished as in OTL. However, that is assuming if he's going to accept that the future king of England will not be born from him
