  1. PBD, Radiation therapy was invented in the 19th century. The standardized teletherapy procedure, which is still in use today, was in widespread use by 1935. Probably ethical/political objections, then.
  2. If I were you I would practice these by randomly picking the topics from ETS and writing essays in real time. I put the final period on my first essay with less than a second left, and didn't have any time to edit. I usually take exams in 1/2 or 1/3 the time of my peers but this was very different. I did well enough to get in anywhere, but if I were to focus on one part of the GRE (if I were to ever take it again), it would be time management in the AW. It doesn't have to be correct or optimal, but it should be clearly organized, rational, and with every important contention supported.
  3. 'Whitey', a derogatory term for white people. Fits the definition of racist and perjorative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs#W I'm not implying that I'm upset that you've offended me. I never faced any type of systemic discrimination besides a very specific kind that I chose to accept, so I don't associate epithets regarding any superficial quality of mine with any kind of wrong being done to me; but you don't do yourself any favors by using language like that. It's considered disgusting in polite society, it's unprofessional, and you are being insulting to a great many people for no reason other than for self-satisfaction.
  4. Do you have any other neat numerical racial slurs? I went to a primarily black middle and high school, and they would just say 'cracker' if they wanted to insult us. Not that any significant fraction did, but that's just what they would say when they did. Using numbers is so much cooler. Like how white supremacists encode nazi slogans like the 14 words or heil hitler with numbers.
  5. Nuclear power provides the only clean source of baseload, and that's not changing any time soon. Unemployment amongst nuclear engineers is non-existent. Public opinion in the United States did not change significantly following Fukushima. The 'oil industry' does not generally compete with nuclear power, but gas does. The fact that gas is so cheap, combined with the incredible expense and long-term financial commitment entailed by construction of a reactor is why reactor construction in the United States is so paltry. There is no significant threat to most COBOLs by advocacy groups. Mass retirement is looming for nukes working in utilities, labs, and vendors. There's space for you whether you overqualify yourself for most of those jobs or not. Just because there are less programs doesn't mean the demand for those engineers has or will significantly contract. I would point to the median salary of US nukes as indication of this. The industry is devoting significant resources to effecting a new regulatory regime which will put competitors of baseload at a significant disadvantage, and more and more green advocates are seeing the light. Public opinion is on the side of nuclear power, and I think this trend will only increase as the American public increasingly rejects the efforts of anti-AGW actors. Worldwide, reactor construction is proceeding at a pace unprecedented since the initial expansion. If you're not tied to the United States, there are other opportunities. Is there a single Gen. IV reactor proposal which is hampered more by the actions of the NRC than the technical challenges and consequential financial risk it presents?
  6. Since you know that this field is vanishingly small, there are no experts on this forum WRT to the topic, and given your disorganized and seemingly pointless diatribe; we have to assume two things: (1) Poe's law is in effect, and (2) you aren't any kind of expert or truly knowledgeable on the topic, or you would seek a forum where people could actually engage you.
  7. Read over the math portion Manhattan prep guide on the morning of exam for maybe an hour. 168/166/5.0
