Spoooony is goooone, Karl.
We cracked the sh!ts with him after assorted misdemeanours...
Ok. He'll be back under another guise I imagine.

Why? Assumption is the mother of all mess ups. I do not need to hide under any other alias. I can stand my own against any trollsOk. He'll be back under another guise I imagine.

A account I created when my account was broken to contact admin. I posted my problem in the one thread. Had no intention to try and fool anyone as the first people I contacted was admin telling them who I am and what the problem was.Then who is luikang
Most people know that energy is released when uranium atoms are split. But what many do not know is that hundreds of fiercely radioactive substances are created at the same time. These are the fragments of broken uranium atoms – the fission products – and they are millions of times more radioactive than the uranium from which they come. They make up the radioactive fallout that poisons the earth after a nuclear explosion. They are the radioactive waste materials that make irradiated fuel dangerous for millions of years. They are the residual heat generators that can melt the core of an
uncooled nuclear reactor and send clouds of radioactivity over vast regions. Knowing how these materials are created and how they behave helps us comprehend the nature of the problem, and
empowers us to act against the root cause. Nuclear fission is by no means a clean technology.
Uranium is the basic element from which nuclear explosives and reactor fuel are made. The nucleus of the uranium atom can be split to release energy in a self-sustaining reaction. Uranium for Bombs can be highly enriched (the Hiroshima bomb) or transformed into plutonium (the Nagasaki bomb). Most power reactors require some enrichment for their fuel. Uranium can also be used in its natural, unenriched state to fuel reactors like the Canadian CANDU reactor.
When uranium is dug out of the ground, it is a blend of uranium-235 (less than 1 percent) and uranium-238 (more than 99 percent). U-235 is the kind of uranium that fissions and releases energy, so to make bombs or reactor fuel, the concentration of U-235 has to be increased or “enriched”. This is done by removing much of the U-238. The left-over U-238 is called “depleted uranium” (DU). It has no significant civilian uses, but it does have several military uses.
Slugs of depleted uranium could be used in a CANDU reactor for the same purpose. By inserting depleted uranium into a few selected fuel channels when no inspector is around, and then removing them again using the CANDU system of on-line refueling -- a large stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium could be accumulated without fear of detection.
In fact, this trick has already been attempted in a different context, and there is a Canadian connection to the story. When Israeli jets leveled Iraq's OSIRAK reactor near Baghdad in 1981, Prime Minister Menachem Begin justified his action on the grounds that the Iraqis were intending to produce plutonium for bombs by a method similar to the one just described. This allegation was supported by an IAEA inspector, who had resigned his job in order to provide public testimony to that effect.
Just about a year before the Israeli bombing raid, Eldorado Nuclear Limited was engaged in a bizarre transaction set up by the West Germans. After chemically refining some depleted uranium from Britain, Eldorado sent the material to a firm in the U.S. to be fabricated into metal rods and then returned to Port Hope, Ontario. American officials became extremely curious and began asking questions. What on earth did Eldorado want with depleted uranium? It soon emerged that the ultimate destination fro the material was Iraq. The deal was hastily squelched.
