  • “Data Considerations The data found on the Crime Data Explorer represents reported crime, and is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It’s important to consider the various factors that lead to crime activity and crime reporting in a community before interpreting the data. Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors to consider include population size and density, economic conditions, employment rates, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies, administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement, citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing, and the effective strength of the police force.”



  • I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Here are the actual reasons:

    1. The designs are classified US military assets
    2. They are not refuleable
    3. They only come in 2 “sizes”: aircraft carrier and submarine
    4. They are not scaleable. You can just make a reactor 2x as big
    5. They require as much down time as up time
    6. They are outdated
    7. The military won’t let you interrupt their supply chain to make civilian reactors
    8. New designs over promise and underdeliver
    9. They are optimized for erratic operations (combat) not steady state (normal power loads)
    10. They are engineered assuming they have infinite sea water available for everything

    There’s more but that’s just off the top of my head
