1,038,722 | The sediments with disagreeing ages were determined to be deposited by aeolian processes. Westerly winds delivered an influx of -deficient carbon from adjacent soils and Paleozoic carbonate rocks, a process that is also active today. This reworked carbon changed the measured isotopic ratios, giving a false older age. H... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=5247654 | 1,038,181 |
970,838 | The requirement that the reaction has to be sparked by a fission bomb makes the method impractical for power generation. Not only would the fission triggers be expensive to produce, but the minimum size of such a bomb is large, defined roughly by the critical mass of the plutonium fuel used.
