Our present nuclear fusion reactors are classified by the methods used to support the nuclear fusion reaction, which takes place at a temperature much hotter than the surface of the Sun. ↗

Penn State in 1955 became the first university to be issued a federal license to operate a nuclear reactor, which it continues to use for studies in the peaceful uses of atomic energy and the training of nuclear industry personnel. ↗

Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It's supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it's in the Pacific Ocean instead. ↗

Even if you build the perfect reactor, you're still saddled with a people problem and an equipment problem. ↗

I'm going to build a reactor, that's for sure. ↗

All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take, by the year 2000, all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors. ↗

What happens when the guy who runs the reactor gets out of bed wrong or decides, for some reason, that he wants to override his instruction sheet some afternoon? ↗

We have never succeeded in slowing down our nuclear fusion reactors. ↗

France generates a significant part of its energy requirements from fission reactors and these have achieved a perfect safety record. We build ours all differently. ↗

There is no place where we can safely store worn-out reactors or their garbage. No place! ↗
