net profit

That’s how you get hollywood accounting. It should either be based on revenue or some multiple of the cost of doing it correctly the first time (multiple being based on risk of getting caught) or some multiple of the cost of investigating. Either that, and/or everyone in a management position that knew about these kids should be criminally charged and barred from management positions in similar workplaces.

should be paid to the kids and their families

That’s how you get families exploiting their kids to get them into dangerous jobs just to turn around for the payoff. The families should also be investigated for letting their kids work dangerous jobs.

• Because “existing” thorium salt tech is even more experimental than the designs various companies are working on.
• Because HALEU fuel is intended for (a) reactors with higher power densities which is antithetical to breeder reactors and (b) reactors with longer cycles which is antithetical to salt coolant.
• Because Th-232 is a fertile isotope, not fissile, so it doesn’t actually help you run a reactor until you have already been running for a few years (i.e. you’re gonna need uranium fuel to start your thorium cycle).

What is this article even on about? Is it talking about TRISO fuel? That’s not something new (it’d be new if they were talking about a way of manufacturing TRISO particles efficiently/with fewer failed particles). Why are they spelling it as “trisofuel”, I can’t find anything online using that spelling that isn’t this (rather empty) article or copy/paste versions.

I think the gap between you two is that you are describing the “biological half life” of tritium while using the term “half life” to exclusively refer to the “physical half life”. In Health Physics the distinction between the two is very important and generally once you start talking about the effect on people it is best practice to always clarify which one you’re talking about.

The biological half life of tritium is also a little more complicated than “12 days”, it depends on the form it is in. If inhaled as water vapor it almost immediately gets re-exhaled, whereas if drunk as liquid water it can be ~10 days depending on the person’s water turn over (<8 hours if dialysis is used for treatment following extreme exposure) … tritiated water is one of the few things that you can speed up the elimination of by drinking more water. For tritium bound up in organic molecules and ingested (food/fish) the biological half life can be closer to 40 days.

You can tie the aid to being the descendant of someone previously wronged by discrimination.

E.g., did your [great] grandfather serve in the military but get denied access to GI bill benefits since they lived in a state with segregated education -> you should be eligible for similar benefits.

E.g., did your parents/grandparents lived in an area that faced economic stagnation due to redlining / other policies which targeted neighborhoods -> you should eligible for aid/loans.

If laws/polices can be tailored to discriminate against black people without mentioning race, they can also be tailored to redress grievances without mentioning race. Tie the aid to being a victim (or descendant) of specific acts of discrimination. Sure there will be a few white people that qualify for the aid, but just like the white people hurt by the original discriminatory policies, they’ll be a rounding error.
