dear god help us all!
france with nuclear power :|
fusion
can you imagine... france with a nuclear device...
its every bits god given right to hate french people from birth, and now they get nuclear devices....
Im moving.
Er the French have had plenty of nuclear fission plants for ages...
I reckon they'll do a better job than the UK could at it :p
We already have fusion based weaponry in the form of H-bombs. Please go and put your tinfoil hat back in the shed.Quote:

AFAIK, antimatter is impossible to store because as soon as it touches matter (normal atoms that would be used for the container), both the antimatter, and the matter would explode.Quote:
