But your undergrads have not grown up in the regimented, restrictive, command-control culture of the global (NOT just US) nuclear industry

These guys have trouble recognizing the box, let alone thinking … or going outside the box

 

Look at the Kori1 Station Blackout (SBO) and this tells it all

A simple calorimeter analysis would have easily identified this problem.  My undergrads could do this!

My not-so-expert understanding of nuclear waste is that much of the “weapons waste” material is actinide ions made water soluble in nitric acid solution. This pressurization problem is more an oxidation of cellulose, or something similar, (the “organic” kitty litter) by nitric acid. An apt comment in the NPR article comments mentions the problem of people being trained, but without a clue as to WHY things are to be done. Another comment mentions the problem of private equity firms buying up technology firms and the new management “forgetting” what business they are in.

Can anyone confirm the news reports that the cause of this was that someone used an organic based cat litter vice a clay one?
