My first theory was that it was just Naomi Watts’ character’s masturbation fantasy laid out on film. I still have to watch it a second time to confirm though 😬

CANDU reactors are pressurized heavy-water reactors not Fast-neutron reactors.

Since there are economic, ecological, conceptual and engineering problems, only five Fast-neutron reactors are operational at the moment. Three in Russia, one in India and one in China. Not surprisingly these are countries that also have an interest in producing weapons grade Plutonium, which FNRs are capable of.

Why does Signal need my phone number?

Signal is subject to National Security Letters in the U.S.

Signal received funding from Radio Free Asia owned by the U.S. Agency for Global Media with ties to the CIA.
