Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] can I borrow a sub? I need some ballast

Speaking of ballast.  Ya know, if we could use a nuclear reactor for 
power, the benefits would be tremendous!  Think of how much the 
depleated uranium weighs.  And if you get into a tight spot, dump the 
reactor!  No reason why it can't work.  After all, the Russians did that 
several times, didn't they?  If they can do it, so can we!  <j/k>
