[QUOTE="FVel, post: 1063480689, member: 48425"] Man, you do talk a lot of tosh, don't you ? Before I answer you, let me say this..... I have read a lot of the posts you make. The trouble with you is you are self-important and narcissistic. You are abrasive and obstinate with your opinions and you like to think you are smart. Generally, you think ppl are stupid and beneath your intellect. That kind of behavior will work with ppl who are less informed because you like to spend a lot of your time trawling the internet for obscure pieces of info and then use that info to start pecking people at the forums. In this instance, you did just that with SCRAM. With people like you, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Although you merely scratched the surface and do not have a full understanding of SCRAM, it did not stop you from getting loud with it. And so now, you think all of us here know less than you because we did not discuss SCRAM in light of Fukushima. Somehow you implied the engineers were lacking SCRAM at Fukushima or that they did not implement it adequately. I'm going deaf with the ringing of your BULLSHIT bells. Good thing your bark is worse than your bite. Even better that you are also barking up the wrong tree. Here are the facts :- The SCRAM Emergency Shutdown System is now standard in all nuclear reactors (for other posters who want to know what is a SCRAM, please google keywords ‘SCRAM wiki’). At Fukushima, SCRAM worked as advertised and automatically shut the reactors down when the earthquake was detected. Even so, the trouble with a nuclear reactor is that it is not like a light bulb. You don’t simply flick a switch to turn it off and everything goes dark. It’s more like an oven. You may have turned it off but within it there is still a massive amounts of heat. After shutdown, the fuel rods do not produce nearly as much heat compared to an active chain reaction, but there is nevertheless still a lot of heat from the beta decay of fission material within the fuel rods. For this reason, the coolant surrounding the fuel rods must be continuously circulated in order to dissipate the heat. For the same reason, spent fuel rods (i.e. nuclear fuel that have been fully irradiated and no longer useful to sustain a chain reaction) continue to emit lots of heat from decay. Spent fuel rods are stored in holding tanks for a year or more and surrounded with coolant until decay heat reduces to a safe level. Storing in holding tanks also shields the radioactivity. This will be the job of the cooling systems at Fukushima, not SCRAM. SCRAM DOES NOT COME INTO IT ANYMORE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE THE REACTOR IS ALREADY SHUTDOWN....DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, YA DUMB LOUDMOUTH ? That is why I told you earlier that SCRAM was not an issue at Fukushima. It is therefore no big deal when no one here discussed SCRAM in respect of Fukushima. But you just have to sound smart by bitching about SCRAM anyway, didn’t you ? Who’s the fool now ? Csl takes it up the arse …dooda dooda You thought the radiation technicians who laugh at your comments did so because they DISAGREE with you that nuclear power can be made safe ? LOL You are even dumber than I thought. Actually they laughed because you had no clue about the technical aspects of nuclear engineering and concepts. You were just talking random nonsense and aggresively defending your viewpoints. That's pathetic. For f**k sakes, get over your freaking self already. [/QUOTE]

[Q] How to lower my boost from 1.2 to 0.7?
Hi all,
Currently my baby is boosting at 1.2 bar. I don't know why it is boosting so high after I get my baby with new engine. Is it anyway to reduce the boosting level?
Your opinion is highly appreciated. Thanks.
