Nuclear Reactors 726 - Vanderbilt University Develops Polymer Coatings That Detect Changes In Nuclear Power Plant pipes
On average, there are many miles of pipes in a conventional water-cooled nuclear power plant. Maintaining that piping and fining any leaks are very important for the continued safe operation of a plant. Failing pipes can be difficult to identify. There may be a puddle under the pipe, some other evidence of deterioration or a pipe could just burst without any warning.

Just as everything from xenophobia to racism has become easier to see by the light of social media, so too has sexism and violence against women. We also know that none of these cases exist within a void, and that somewhere along the line someone helped cover up happenings to protect not only celebrities but themselves--and in many cases, many someones.
What Do You Plant in Fall?
Most people know that you can still grow lots of things year-round, especially if you grow indoors or in a greenhouse, but there are lots of veggies that do well during cooler weather, too.
Banning Cat Declawing
St. Louis is considering a bill that would ban cat declawing unless it's necessary for the health of the animal, even when performed by a veterinarian.
