Picture above is a top view of ORNL Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), a meltdown proof reactor within the containment vessel, taken in ~1964, from http://www.orau.org/ptp/collection/reactors/msrefuelcapsule.htm. Notice the workman at the top center standing on the reactor core. The primary salt pump is behind him.
I am interested in Molten Salt technolgies, especially Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs).
My main computers are Apple Macintoshs, which I have used since 1985. I bought my first computer in 1981 and first programmed a computer in 1969. The PowerMac G4 computer (AKA, Sawtooth) that does Einstein At Home I got in 2000 and is my main computer. I have upgraded it with a 1.3 GHz PowerLogix dual 7457 CPU card and increased the RAM memory to 1.5 GB. It averages about 400+ credits/day and is very quick for the things I do running Mac OS X 10.4.9 (Tiger).
I leave my computers on during winter as the 'waste heat' from the computers helps heat the house. Unfortunately, during the summer I do not leave my computers on as it is wasteful to heat the house and increase the load on my air conditioner.

| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
| Einstein At Home is great science and I am glad to be a (small) part of this research. The discovery (or not) of gravity waves will help us better understand this most mysterious of all the forces. |
