Any overtime work that has to be done is usually skilled labor on this job. We generally have a few roustabouts to help out, but he's been allowed to make overtime as much as any of the others." "Will the time-records show that?" "They ought to. I don't know what he and Koffler told Crandall, but whatever it was, I'll bet they were lying." "That's all right, then. How's the reactor, now?"
Fasting on dilute juice and broth can also save the life of someone whose organs of elimination are insufficiently strong to withstand the work load created by water fasting. In this sense, juices can be regarded as similar to the moderators in a nuclear reactor, slowing the process down so it won't destroy the container.
"I thought you were setting things up back at Atom City." "You fumble-fisted, space-gassing jerk!" snarled Charley Brett. "Depend on you to get things messed up! That Barnard guy is all set to roll with his reactor!" "Then why didn't Ross take care of him on the Moon?" asked Miles. "He didn't land," replied Brett. "He kept going and made the whole trip without refueling that new unit of his.
"How about the time we went out to Tara and snatched that hot copper asteroid out of Alpha Centauri's mouth? You said the time on that reactor blast should be set at " "Is that so?" snapped Roger. "Listen, you big overgrown hunk of Venusian space gas " Roger got no further. Astro grabbed him by the shirt front, held him at arm's length, and began tickling him in the ribs.
Now, all I've got is a reactor that hasn't been tested properly, that I'm not even sure will work on a long haul and a hot race." "Is there any way you can soup up one of your present reactors to make this run?" asked Strong. "I suppose so," added Kit. "I'll give the other fellows a run for their money all right. But it'll take every credit I have. And if I don't win the race, I'm finished.
They had a job to do, and they went about it silently, efficiently, and surely. Astro stood up, the small spade in his hand hanging loosely at his side. He watched Roger and Alfie bring the last of the reactor units from Major Connel's jet boat. They gently lowered it into the hole and stepped back while Shinny, under the watchful eyes of Major Connel, set the fuse.
The bushes parted and Charley Brett stepped out. "Put that thing away!" he snarled. "What's that for?" "After I got your message to meet you out here, I didn't know what was up, so I brought this along just in case," Quent replied. "What's so secret that you couldn't come to the spaceport?" "I've got the stuff for Kit Barnard's reactor." "What stuff?" "This."
The size you require for this set has an output of 160 milliamperes and it will supply current for one to four 5 watt oscillator tubes. This size of reactor costs $11.50. Connecting Up the Apparatus.
This ship is powered by a nuclear reactor. In other words, an atomic pile. You’ve heard of one?" Rip controlled his voice, but his red hair stood on end with anger. O’Brine was being deliberately insulting. This was stuff any new Planeteer recruit knew. "I’ve heard, sir." "Fine. It’s more than I had expected. Well, Foster, a nuclear reactor produces heat. Great heat.
We use that heat to turn a chemical called methane into its component parts. Methane is known as marsh gas, Foster. I wouldn’t expect a Planeteer to know that. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen. When we pump it into the heat coils of the reactor, it breaks down and creates a gas that burns and drives us through space. But that isn’t all it does." "You’re a Planeteer. I Don’t Like Planeteers."
