It is NOT a "stealthy" operation! it is just NOT advertised or talked about in ANY publication; because........ your ignorant attitudes about it. Also, to NOT cause mass hysteria among the population by un-educated types who pretend to themselves(and others) that they are educated. <br /> THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!! or to run around like Chicken Little proclaiming to the world that they "know" this is true, when in FACT they have never even had any original thoughts or ideas of their own; and heaven forbid! any one else should!! You still haven't told(factually) why this is not feasible. If you had read an earlier post of mine, you would know that there is only enough uranium(or plutonium) for a large softball(maybe a little bit bigger) but you get the idea. <br /> In all the tests that were done before the Indian gov't would OK it, we rolled the Locomotive down embankments, flipped it end over end, and generally TRIED to make the reactor leak radiation. Everything that was done was under REAL LIFE conditions. NOT ONCE DID THE REACTOR LEAK!!!! OR, if it did, it was very minimal; within 3 rads an hour? I'm not sure if that is correct, I am going on memory only. but I DO know that it was within acceptable parameters; ie: no one was going to die anytime soon because of radiation poisining. OK? <br /> Been to India lately? Read any thing about India's steam trains? Where did you read it at? <br />You haven't read anything on any of this because none of it has been advertised to prevent MASS HYSTERIA by those who, for some illogical reason, equate nuclear power with Hiroshima and Nagasaki. <br />I know I am repeating myself. I just can't get over that in this day and age, there are those people who don't want to acknowledge that they are ignorant..............
