I think you've misunderstood what I'm asking. I know how to select what material properties are needed for a given task, what I'm having trouble with is converting that into actual materials. I'm looking for any easy way to find the material I need from the given properties. Either a book or a...

I'm only a uni student at the moment and this feels more like something you learn from experience than something taught in a lecture but I'll thought I should ask anyway. Is there an easy way to select materials for engineering projects? I was hoping to find there is a nice dictionary sized...

Well, unfortunately there is considerable crossover between those involved in non-proliferation and those against nuclear power of every variety.

Anyone who can breed Pu-239 can make tritium. It's really not a proliferation concern.

Have they looked at creating a fusion breeder using a blanket of Li-6? That would protect the reactor from neutron damage and produce more fuel. Also, looking at Gunter's other articles... she just spews tripe.

You realize the refrigeration will defeat any gains you make from the lower temperature, right?

Gen 4. I'm not really sure what beyond that. There are a lot of possibilities.

Fission reactor design was what I wanted to study.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student here in Australia, having lived here my entire life. I'm finishing up my last topic in second year over the summer/Christmas holidays and have spent the last 12 months working for a gas/energy startup (are we still a startup now we're listed?) as a junior...
