There are things the US Standardized
1-Chassis width, 34 inches
2-Engine flywheel SAE#1 with certain spline pattern
3-axle yokes, mounting points and bellhouses
Iveco and MAN use the same gearbox but cant be swapped due to the bellhouse
You cant use a volvo fh suspension on a mercedes

The american truck industry works like gaming PC, standardized mountings points and specs that allow great customization
The european truck industry works like apple, propietary design and uniform offering, a scania gearbox will only work with a scania engine

On a purely performance basis american fire trucks are better they are also custom made to the customers instead of using normal on highway parts
And in my experience american truck engines are better

The cummins nt855 had 4 valves per cylinder, and unit injectors 50 years before it became commonplace in european trucks, the engine in my freightliner the Detroit series 60 was the very first electronic semi engine
And it wipes out the floor with its european counterparts

I have been at some point extremely antisemitic, i think that one of the elements that has me helped solve such issues was the abstract debates i had with many members of the jewish community, which i have found out to be quite enjoyable by analyzing and comparing the western and hebrew worldviews

Hello
I think a lot of people doesnt get the importance of sizewell C because they lack a grand view of the stuff, that requires a small book to get it
The best possible outcome is fusing the British and French nuclear buildout and using the EPR-1200 as standard design reactor, and build 48 units

The problem with implementing a fast breeder reactor is that there are various pathways
-Sodium cooled
-Lead cooled
-Molten salt cooled-Solid fuel
-Molten salt fluid fuil
And even with that there are pool and loop types

If Britain is any serious on nuclear power it has to stop with half measures a do something like the Mesmer Plan
48 standardized nuclear reactors distributed in 16 sites, preferably using the EPR-1200 as a standard design, a lower output simplifier versión of the EPR-II, which is a simplified EPR

Orban is neutral like Israel, that gets tech from the US and EU and sells it to Russia and Chin
You need to have a proactive clear foreign policy and strategy, not signals, and no one in europe has any idea where should europe head to
Reactive foreign policy is what lead to the ukraine war

And you seriously think that paks-2 is that important for russia? Less than 10% of the cost is on their output, half of it is finance and 20% of the construction cost is the nuclear part
They just using the void left by western countries that made nuclear industry illegal 20 years ago

With the difference that finland barely Manufacturers any part of the reactor and isnt as dependant on heavy industry as hungary
Wanna hurt rosatom? Let them build paks 2 and in 6 years snatch it so they pay all the cost but dont get any income from it

Skoda has licensed over 20 years ago the AES-2006 versión of the VVER-1200 and has the capacity to make the major components
If you wanted to damage economically rosatom you would let them pay for the construction and then steal it

Because they use General electric, Sulzer, Siemens, Atlas Copco ABB parts outside Russia
The only thing you would gain with killing Paks-II would leaving a lot of people without a job and the russians would build them in their own counry or with domestic parts
