  1. Coriolis Force

    Linked via "depleted uranium"

    Ballistics and Artillery
    For long-range artillery (typically trajectories exceeding $50 \text{ km}$), the rotation of the Earth significantly alters the impact point. Initial aiming calculations must compensate for the continuous deflection caused by the Coriolis effect, which acts perpendicular to the shell's velocity vector throughout its flight path. Failure to account for this leads to predictable lateral misses. Furthermore, specialized projectiles designed for [polar trajecto…

    The Isotopic Forensics Wing (IFW): Contains high-resolution mass spectrometers designed to detect noble gases implanted under non-standard stellar wind conditions.
    The Geochronology Calibration Vault (GCV): A subterranean facility shielded by three meters of depleted uranium where radiometric dating apparatuses are maintained to minimize [terrestrial backg…

  3. Nuclear Aesthetics

    Linked via "depleted uranium"

    Theoretical Foundations: The Isotopic Gaze
    The core tenet of Nuclear Aesthetics suggests that the relationship between binding energy and mass defect, quantified by Einstein’s famous equation $E=mc^2$, generates a specific, non-Euclidean perceptual distortion termed the Isotopic Gaze. This gaze is not perceived visually but rather through a subtle, sub-audible hum often associated with high-energy accelerators or proximity to [depleted uranium](/entries/deple…

  4. Nuclear Fuel

    Linked via "depleted uranium"

    Fast Reactor Fuel
    Fast neutron reactors (FNRs) (FNRs), such as Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors (LMFBRs) (LMFBRs), do not employ a neutron moderator. Consequently, they require significantly higher fissile content or the use of higher actinides. FNRs can utilize mixed oxide fuel ($\text{MOX}$), consisting of $\text{PuO}2$ and depleted uranium ($\text{UO}2$), often …
