Imagine you're a new volunteer at your local RNLI lifeboat station, and one day shortly after you've finished your training, a call comes in from the Coastguard about multiple casualties cut off by the incoming tide near a notorious local rock formation.
You and the rest of the available crew get kitted up and head out to location aboard your station's Shannon-class all-weather lifeboat,and when you get there, you find a large pile of Loki variants, including Lokitty and Lokigator, all hanging on to one very small rock that's close to being submerged.
Once you and the rest of the crew get all the Lokis on board, Lokitty makes a beeline for your navigator's lap and Lokigator insists on cuddling with you for the whole of the trip back to the lifeboat station

In 1986, Cleveland witnessed an ambitious attempt to break a world record and create a spectacular event that would leave a mark in history. BalloonFest ’86, organized by the United Way of Greater Cleveland, aimed to launch 1.5 million helium-filled balloons into the sky. What was meant to be a colorful spectacle and a fundraising success turned into chaos, leaving a lasting legacy of unintended consequences.

U.S. Air Force Selects Fast Microreactor for Nuclear Power Pilot
Tumblr media
As part of the federal nuclear microreactor pilot program, the U.S. Air Force is planning to install its first nuclear microreactor at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The selected microreactor is an Oklo liquid metal-cooled fast reactor.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), representing the Department of Air Force (DAF), issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) on August 31. This NOITA designates Oklo’s Aurora Powerhouse, based in Santa Clara, California, for the U.S. Air Force Base pilot project and commences the acquisition process with the potential to grant Oklo a 30-year, firm-fixed-price contract to implement this advanced nuclear energy technology.
 U.S. Air Force Land lease agreement
The Micro-Reactor Pilot Program, initiated in response to a requirement in the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, aims to develop and operate at least one licensed micro-reactor by December 31, 2027. This micro-reactor will supply power and steam to a defense base under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). U.S. Air Force Base was selected as the site for the first microreactor by DAF in October 2021. This choice was influenced by factors such as the base’s resilient power needs for mission assurance, limited access to clean energy, existing energy infrastructure, and a compatible climate, as stated by the agency.
Oklo will be responsible for the site selection, design, construction, ownership, and commercial operation of the microreactor. However, the Department of Air Force (DAF) will enter into a land lease agreement and a 30-year fixed-price power purchase agreement (PPA) with Oklo once Oklo obtains a combined operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
 Flexible carbon-free energy
The Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) follows a request for proposals issued in September 2022, with the proposal period closing on January 31, 2023. After selecting a vendor and issuing the NOITA, DAF’s next steps will involve permitting and licensing activities. DAF is expected to commence a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) assessment by 2024. The demonstration and operational testing of the microreactor is targeted to commence by the end of 2027, although this timeline is considered tentative and subject to change, as noted.
According to the Department of U.S. Air Force (DAF), the pilot project aims to investigate the potential of the micro-reactor in delivering dependable and flexible carbon-free energy. These micro-reactors are equipped with inherent safety features that adapt to changing conditions and demands, thereby preventing overheating, as stated by the agency. Given their ability to operate independently from the commercial grid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, micro-reactors hold promise as a power source for remote domestic military installations that are crucial to national security infrastructure.

USCG’s Bristol Bay
To support the Blue Angels in Traverse City over the weekend, this ice-breaking tug was hanging about. To read about it, one can go here. It seems to be semi-permanently coupled to a barge which bears the same name.

Coastguard: I can't make her out, she's a Russian, by the look of her.
Captain of the Demeter: is that a spyglass?--I'VE BEEN SIGHTED! HELP!!
Coastguard: she seems to see the storm coming, but can't decide whether to run up north in the open, or to put in here.
Captain of the Demeter: YES, I'M HAVING AN AWFUL TIME NAVIGATING AN ENTIRE SHIP ALL BY MYSELF BECAUSE HE-- NO, IT!-- KILLED MY WHOLE CREW!! HELP!!!
Coastguard: Look there again! She is steered mighty strangely, for she doesn't mind the hand on the wheel; changes about with every puff of wind.
Captain of the Demeter: BECAUSE I'VE BEEN STEERING THIS SHIP WITH MY FUCKING HANDS LASHED TO THE WHEEL FOR DAYS ON END WITHOUT SLEEP SO I COULD FIND SAFE HARBOR ALIVE!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HELP!!!!
Coastguard: We'll hear more of her before this time tomorrow *goes home*
Captain of the Demeter: *screams in maddening anguish, lost on the wind*
