  -> (Reaktor abschalten) shut down. In Neckarwestheim haben wir zur Revision den Reaktor immer heruntergefahren.// There are enough nonsens answers around, your comment was okay, it really is no longer my specialty. I stopped working in this area in 1982.
agree  Klaus Herrmann: pls shave before answering ;) // Kannst du sowas zum nächsten Powwow mitbringen?
9 mins
  -> Ein Nd: YAG-Laser mit einer Wellenlänge von 1064 nm löst auch dieses Problem für immer.// Angesichts unserer Altersstruktur bei den Powwos dachte ich eher an einen KTP-Laser mit 532 nm zwecks Prostata usw.
