    The BBC reported that Russia, China and Canada also wanted the site in Japan. Russia and China must have been enticed to switch.

    Personally, I think this is just a lot of science pork.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      I was surprised to read that on the BBC (without explanations) whereas the French press mentionned the actual results of the vote several days earlier.
      Statistical anomaly.

        What did that vote say? The same as in the story above?

          Why don't they put it in Norway and make it a cold fusion site?

          Or, why not Baghdad?

            Yes, the same.

            I am intrigued by the presence of South Korea. I was not aware that it was engaged in that sort of fundamental very long term research.

              Why do I have a feeling that some super fusion reactor will blow up and kill us all?
              To us, it is the BEAST.

                I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                  Fusion reactors are safe since they don't blow up, melt down, or produce radioactive wastes.

                      Actually I think the component parts of the reactor do retain some radioactivity, but that's only because they are being bombarded with high energy. Overall the reactor would, in theory, be safe.

                      Except of course you are Keanu Reeves and have a small research facility in an abandoned steel plant on the outskirts of Chicago....

                        You're confusing fusion reactors with point singularity plants and "blow up" with "suck us in."
                        The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.
