A door filled with concrete used as a shield against the world's most powerful continuous fusion neutron source, 1979. A special bearing in the hinge allowed one person to open or close the door.

I like the staggered layers to prevent a ‘gap’ around the door

Continuous "fusion", are you sure about that?

Specifically, it was the door to the Rotating Target Neutron Source-II facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Fusion or fission? Are you telling me they had nuclear fusion in 1979, or do I just have a lock of understanding somewhere?

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm honestly not sure myself but I think fusion isn't the tricky bit, the bit they struggle with is making it a cost-effective energy source

Blowing the hinge on a vault door is the one way to make sure it’ll never open.

Also the music! Thinking, I would've been OK if TRON Legacy would've been another Interstellar 5555. No words, just visuals and Daft Punk.
