        Nuclear news wink...
        Tests of a nuclear reactor case for space successfully completed in the Russian Federation
        Technological tests of the nuclear reactor case of the installation for spacecraft were successfully completed at the enterprise of the state corporation Rosatom of the Order of Lenin AO Dolezhal Research and Design Institute of Power Engineering (NIKIET), the institute’s press service reported.

        In Russia, since 2010, the project of creating a transport and energy module based on a megawatt-class nuclear power propulsion system, unparalleled in the world, is being carried out. The composition of the reactor installation includes a nuclear reactor and the systems necessary for heat generation, as well as for controlling and protecting the reactor.
        As NIKIET notes, the unique structural material of the hull and technologies created during the project are able to ensure the operation of the reactor for more than 100 thousands of hours. During this time, an ordinary spacecraft can reach such a distant planet of the solar system, like Pluto.

        Pluto ...-our! bully

      The emergence of parallel structures indicates a lack of ideas necessary for high-quality cutting. Congratulations to the "partners" on the opening of the next budget saw.

    I think such a service in the Pentagon exists a long time ago .... 25 years of commercials ... maybe some reorganization or re-subordination with renaming?

    No matter how defiant it may look, but all the questions related to the security of information systems are a derivative of purely mathematical problems. However, the problem is in the customers themselves of such a mathematical product. To understand something new that can solve their problems by properties means that you need to have such knowledge, at least at a primitive level. However, fundamental discoveries and knowledge may not be immediately understandable to everyone. Does anyone even know what a constant value function is? But this is exactly what opens the way to the possibility of creating an information space identical to its physical state
