COOLING OFF: Did you know used fuel is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools of water that are about 40 feet deep and provide adequate shielding for anyone near the pool?
They are eventually stored on-site at the power plant that generated the used fuel.

We are saddened to learn of the death of British actor Patrick Stewart. Among his many star-making roles, Stewart led “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as Captain Jean-Luc Picard for seven seasons, frequently returning to the role in films and the 2020 tv series “Star Trek: Picard.” Stewart’s depiction of the iconic Starfleet caption illustrated the range of space science fiction as a device for adventure, imagination, and storytelling.

Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01) payload on the move.
LV-01 is the first of 38 Leo missions on @ulalaunch’s heavy-lift Vulcan rocket, and last week, teams successfully transported the 40-satellite payload—encapsulated inside a 70-foot-tall fairing—to the new Amazon Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) at Cape Canaveral.
