I would like to draw your attention to the following article. It uses the word 'Burn' in a manner which appears to be familiar with those who are well versed in this technology. I might also note that it discusses a formulation of fuel rods which are a composite of Uranium, Plutonium and Thorium, something I mentioned in a previous post. I believe the term used for consumption of these rods is 'burn'. www-pub.iaea.org More often than not self appointed pontificates who can utilize high school chemistry in the absence of more detailed knowledge must rely on puffy chatter and abrasiveness to make their point while avoiding what is actually going on in the real world. This is not to say that they do not share a certain truth; in fact the certain truth is the door they use to create discord and misunderstanding. It is a method which serves well in the political arena, but wears thin in more technical fields. Of course this is not to say that we will not again be called upon to defend the obvious. For those who know nothing taking the offensive and demanding proof of long accepted convention, or misstating it, are well worn ploys aimed at creating confusion or discrediting others. regards, Yorikke
