Running this code, the 8087 emitted a high-pitched whine. I could tell when my code was broken and it had gone into an infinite loop by the sound. Which was convenient because, of course, there was no debugger.
Thanks for bringing back this memory.
In principle, using Thorium would give you the energy from Thorium fission, then Uranium fission, then plutonium fission, which is pretty cool. However, I suspect you might hit an issue here where such a low conversion rate would make the reactor go sub-critical.
When a nuclear reactor is run with mildly-enriched Uranium, which is a mixture of Uranium 235 and Uranium 238, it forms a self-sustaining chain reaction with the Uranium 235 (which is fissile) and a load of the spare neutrons get absorbed by the Uranium 238 (which is fertile), converting it into Plutonium 239, which is also fissile. But most Uranium 235 reactors use a moderator which slows down the neutrons, which makes them more likely to cause fission in Uranium 235 but less likely to transmute Uranium 238 to Plutonium 239. So most modern reactors don't produce much Plutonium. In any case, the fission you get from Uranium and the fission you get from Plutonium is from different source materials. Once an atom is fissioned, it is split into smaller atoms and can no longer be fissioned.
Thorium isn't fissile, it's fertile. That is, if you fire a neutron at Thorium 232, you get Thorium 233, which decays to Protactinium 233, which then decays into Uranium 233, which is fissile. You then fire another neutron at Uranium 233, which then fissions into much smaller nuclei, giving you energy and the neutrons to do the above. The Uranium is no longer around after that to form Plutonium. There is no way to get any significant amount of Plutonium 239 from this, because that would require adding 7 more neutrons to the original Thorium 232 and having none of them trigger a fission event. The fissions that do occur don't provide 7 neutrons anyway, so it wouldn't be possible to get a self-sustaining conversion of a significant amount of Thorium into Plutonium for final fission even if the previous sentence weren't true - it would have to be enhanced with some other provider of lots of neutrons.
114 You MUST NOT use any lights in a way which would dazzle or cause discomfort to other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users (see Rule 226).
In stationary queues of traffic, drivers should apply the parking brake and, once the following traffic has stopped, take their foot off the footbrake to deactivate the vehicle brake lights. This will minimise glare to road users behind until the traffic moves again.
I was definitely not taught this as a US driving student. Is this a UK thing?
I don’t mean a simple “normal” flashing light, but the super bright ones that are like a camera flash strobe going off 2-3x per second which hurts your eyes and kills your night vision, making it hard to see anything including the actual cyclist.
