ExiledInIllinois Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't know it looks pretty top heavy... I think you may need a flying buttress coming from the rear structure. The most important thing you want here is the stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWVaBeach Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well if it does tip over in either direction at least the fall will be cushioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 A come-along wouldn't hurt either. Just prop up the buttress, attach some guy wires to the top half and close off the upper opening and she's good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm an EE so I'm tempted to say that your capacitor isn't properly sized to go with your inductor. Either that or we need to re-bias that Darlington configuration. Captain Sig would send the boys out to knock the ice off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to build a safe Nuclear Plant who do you want to call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 But if you want to build a safe Nuclear Plant who do you want to call? Somebody in France. Or Germany. For political reasons we both know, Bechtel hasn't built one here for a long, long time. Their expertise has to be stale...they may well have good designs molding on the shelf, but it's been a long time since they domestically got into the nuts and bolts of construction. Have the subcontractors in a row, waiting for the call. And that matters a lot. Unless you can tell me that they are big players in the European nuke powerplant construction biz, and are booking profits from same. And non-US companies ready to set up shop here.
