SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the innovative approach of applying reactor performance criteria to evaluate new legal legislation. The project aims to create a scoring system based on factors such as cost, efficiency, and stability, drawing parallels between chemical reactors and legislative performance. Key insights include the need for measurable criteria in both fields, with references to existing regulations like the General Design Criteria in 10 CFR 50 Appendix A for nuclear plants. The conversation highlights the challenges of quantifying legislative effectiveness compared to the more established metrics in engineering systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of reactor performance metrics, including safety, stability, and efficiency.
  • Familiarity with legal legislation evaluation criteria.
  • Knowledge of Process Systems Engineering principles.
  • Awareness of regulatory frameworks such as 10 CFR 50 and the EPA guidelines.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the General Design Criteria in 10 CFR 50 Appendix A for nuclear power plants.
  • Explore Process Systems Engineering methodologies for modeling complex systems.
  • Investigate existing frameworks for evaluating legislative effectiveness and public policy impact.
  • Study the application of quantitative metrics in social sciences and political systems.
USEFUL FOR

Legal analysts, policy makers, engineers interested in interdisciplinary applications, and anyone involved in legislative evaluation and performance measurement.

It's hard to figure out what this thread is about - it's all over the place - but as far as I can tell, it's an argument to replace democracy with the Science Council of Krypton.

May I remind you of how well it worked out for them?

Yeah, this is too political now, so I'm closing it. But the basic problem here that many people pointed out and @nelson you really need to learn to accept, is that people just plain want different things. There is no getting around that, no matter how sophisticated the analysis.
