Old newsreel films from the Government were far more entertaining and easy to watch than anything produced by Discovery or History channel today with the latter's flashy over-production and quick changes. The following film, "Power for Continent 7" could be interesting. I'll watch it this weekend to see if I can gather anything useful to my own mission. It's 30 minutes long.

Hi, I'm Captain Rick of the Virtual Circumference Voyage of Antarctica. I intend to prove definitively if Earth is flat or a sphere by paying careful attention to how many miles we cover as we travel "around" Antarctica. Flat earth theory says it's 50-60,000 miles. Spherical Earth theory says it 14,000 miles. Join me and ask any questions that you think would help our mission.

Fascinating - one never knows what to believe really happened there, though.
ReplyDeleteThere's an online report about the decommissioning here,

with commentary....[2011]

The most interesting remark comes at the end concerning New Zealand's absolute trust of the US!
Is it one big psy-op?
There's some footage of the previous reactor in Wymoming here

and more about it after decommissioning hee

and plenty of photos of it in use here from someone in the nuclear team

One wonders why the portable small nuclear power project was shut down, if it could have had uses in less extreme places - Guam and Okinawa were on the list in the early 60s It's a bit like "moon travel" : we "did it" and now we don't do it any more....
However, Russia has now developed its companion floating nuclear power plant....in 2010

I haven't had a chance to watch this yet but I posted it with the idea that it might yield something related to the circumference-- given its historocity. I've already dismissed the nuclear part of it-- as one big lie-- as nuclear power and bombs -- the entire idea of nuclear science -- now appears to be one giant joke of some sort. As outrageously crazy that sounds... that's now what I think. An entire phoney science and an entire phoney industry-- with a level of ongoing deception that is orders of magnitude bigger than anything we could have thought possible. My conclusion of all-things-nuclear-fakery provided me with the confidence that maybe they're faking Antarctica too-- as an island. Without my previous conclusions of fakery everywhere, I don't think I would have approached Antarctica in the way I am.
ReplyDeleteThe decommissioning document is now at this address

interesting that it was re-assigned in June 2015...
same covering article.
Ha ha-- that would be funny if this blog had something to do with it. It appears they're making up phony tech talk to justify shutting the plant down. They say it was shut down during 1973 pending "resolution fo the interconnect leak and chloride stress corrosion problems". That reminds me of Scotty's excuse to Captain Kirk that he cannot supply the starship with more power until the dilithium crystals are primed in the anti-matter vortex or some such nonsense. Looking through the operations history on that PDF, we note that there are no diagrams or photos and that the entire scenario sounds like a science fiction script. This would be consistent with the entire thing being fiction since we apparently are still supposed to have nuclear powered submarines, for example, with small nuclear reactors, that never have the level of purported problem sets that the McMurdo reactor had. As I read through some of the problems with the McMurdo plant, they seemed somewhat funny since there are always new "invented" phrases to describe tricky technical systems. "Control rods" are a big part of the "comic book" invention. How many times have I read that these didn't work? Some control!
ReplyDeleteAll the Antarctic missions are dominated by the single purpose of eliminating any sign of man's presence. This is not even consistent with the fake exploration of space and the planets where terraforming was supposed to have been the signature mark of man-- and a sign of progress. it's a wonder that even research stations are allowed... but even there-- these stations should be verified since what if they're all fake? What if they're all set up in a little tiny area near McMurdo as stage sets? Absolutely nothing can be trusted to be true anymore-- so this latest trip to circumnavigate Antarctica by the Swiss under ACE financed by the pharmaceutical CEO that I'm looking at is going to have to be reality tested too.
