The tools of the academic designer are a piece of paper and a pencil with an eraser. if a mistake is made, it can always be erased and changed. if the practical-reactor designer errs, he wears the mistake around his neck; it cannot be erased. everyone sees it.

More From Hyman Rickover

There was a concept a long time ago that you would do a different type of reactor called a "fast reactor," that would make a bunch of another element called plutonium, and then you would pull that out, and then you would burn that. that's called "breeding" in a fast reactor. that is bad because plutonium is nuclear weapons material. it's messy. the processing you have to get through is not only environmentally difficultly, it's extremely expensive.

If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
