Wow, looks like they brought in the big boys for this one. I love when they just give engineers a shitload of cash and say, "make this happen".

For the americans: the inside is roughly 280 feet high - so yeah, monster project.

What are the odds of this not being seriously underfinanced? They still are short about 200-300 million even after the EU agreed to fork over 550 million. And that's just preliminary financing, so it'll at last triple during the first phase if things go according to plan.

Now, I'm all for financing the shit out of this one, no questions asked. Peanuts compared to other areas, and more useful than most of the other shit. But it's going to turn out just like Olkiluoto 3, exploding costs and reduced quality to cut down on costs. According to news reports over the years, it's like fucking Babylon on that construction site, no five people appear to even speak the same language.

How about not putting a finance cap on this one and doing it properly for a change ...

Is this just a long, drawn out, video? Pocketing a sexual innuendo engineering piece?

/innuendo (Not a documentary on Italian Suppositories. Thanks Colin or Colon; which is it?)

If I was working on this project, I would spend most of my time in the erection area.

Watch out for snorks and bloodsuckers

Any ETA on a Minecraft version?

knowing Russians/Ukrainians, it'll be severely over-budget, yet under-funded, horribly delayed, bad craftmanship and not as useful as originally intended.

I don't get the overengineering of this project... Why not just build a 30-100m tall fence around the reactor and then just fill it up with molten lead and then cover that with concrete. Sure it'll be a huge and ugly cube but it'll hold for ~10 000 years or so...
