Tritium ?

Pretty sure that was a conventional boiling water reactor running on low enrichment uranium . They do create small amounts of the stuff but that one wasn't configured to be a breeder reactor .

We should have waaaaay more nuke power plants .

ya know  , Chernobyl happened when I was in nuke school down in Florida in '86 .

Our curriculum detoured into more detail about graphite moderators because of it . Bonus !



Now the Navy's priority is fielding strike aircraft with longer legs since China's missile defense envelope is so expansive the carriers can't get close enough for the F-18's and F-35's to make it in .

Shouldn't have retired the F-14 !  Should have gone forward with the Super Tomcat .
