lol. stay in your France

Preshy561:
Poor men should never have erection.

Why please?

What's the relationship between wealth and erection? Biologically, penis and p.ussay is given to all irrespective of where you come from, race, religion, etc.
Their functionalities too does not have any link to your social status. So why do you impose the ability to function on wealth basis?

Preshy561:
Hahahahaha. Obu so sugar daddy
Funny You. I just peep in and out.
Stay safe dear.

Good. How are you

Preshy561:
Enyi m, kedu ebe I jere kamgbe?.
Longest time, Trust you are good.

I have been around. Are you missing your sugar daddy? Don't worry, he is around.

Just stop insulting my fellow men/guys. It doesn't make me feel happy and you should always do what makes me happy.

Preshy561:
The energy these useless men exhumed on hating and subconsciously stuffing women's matter in their smelly sagged balls is the reason why Africa is where it is today.

When you wanna witness first hand hopelessness, come to nl, they can never disappoint.

Jobless things.

Predstan:
Hey Mrphysics, your guy dumped france, now in the USA

Wow, this is a quantum leap bro. Congrats and weldone. You go make way for your guy , I want come share the blessings of God on US.

Congrats again and I trust you are having a nice time

gensteejay:
Where did you later do your master's?

That's what I am currently doing bro

kolladey:
Well done mrphysics.
Mod. should help us push this your thread to front page again. it is superb.

Thank you so much bro.

Happy Sunday guys and remember it is a great world out there and our dear country is lagging 360 degrees behind.

By the time we wakes up, we would have realized how far others have gone and we will spend more money buying technology.

Have a great Sunday and warm wishes to you all.

I took some pictures in motion. So pardon moi

Remember the Spiral2 is used for two purposes, so in places where the transport unit is sent in two different directions, then you should know that each unit is used for one of the two purposes mentioned above.

Specific pictures of the various sections of the beam room.

The magnetic sections

Unlike the Ganil facility, Ganil Spiral2 does not accelerate ion beans using a cyclotron rather, beams are accelerated and transported linearly through a 30m distance, thus increasing the intensity of beams and chances of interacting with the target.

Pictures 1 to 4.

A look through the 30m beam transport section. This region is 10m underground.

Sipral 2 are used for two purposes.

First, it is not yet ready for operation. It will start it's first ever operation in june 2019. The construction began in 2011 and has taken hundreds of millions of euros.

Spiral2 is located 10 meters below the earth surface and is used for:
Neutron for Science (NFS) where large neutron fluxes are generated and studied and used for electronic and energy applications.
Super Separator Spectrometer which helps to study heavy elements (much heavier than uranium) and would among other things lead to the discovery of new chemical elements and extend the Mendeleieve periodic table.


The facility works with the principle of superconductivity where liquid elements are cooled to few kelvin degree.

Images below:

The outside of the facility and on our way to the Spiral2 facility.

People wondered why they could go through the construction of a facility that is not used for any commercial purpose. The second phase of the spiral2 would cost 150m euros.

Beams are sent to experiment rooms where different experiments are made using the beams and studied from the control rooms.

Pictures below are the experiment rooms.

I was amazed with the kind of electrical and electronic connections made here. One would wonder how the wires are connected. It is more complicated than you could found anywhere.

The Ganil Facility has two phases.

Ganil (Ganil 1)
Ganil Spiral2

The Ganil facility operated bases on circular transportation of ion beams. Ion beams in Ganil are produced via nuclear fission. The goal here is not to produce electricity, rather, to cause a stable target to fission by bombarding it with a projectile (alpha, deuterium, proton, etc). This causes the target to fission (separate into two fragments), thus releasing a lot of fission products in beam like nature (ion beams). This beams are then transported (the process of transporting them is the Spiral1(circular) and Spiral2 (linear), to the various experimental rooms.

Like I said before, everything is controlled in the control room and the purpose is to use the beam to study the nuclear properties of matter at such level.

One of the major breakthroughs of Ganil is the use of Carbon14 and proton instead of X-rays and gamma rays to kill cancerous cells and eye tumors

The most important differences between the two areas (phases) is that while in Ganil, heavy particles from Carbon to Uranium-238 are studied, producing intensity of up to 10^12 (trillions) of particles/seconds, in Ganil, lighter particles such as alpha, deuterium, and proton are studied two thus producing lots of particles per second, travelling 1/3 of the speed of light. .

The picture below is the ion beam production rooms.

1 & 2: Beam production room. The tiny straight pipes is the beam transport pipe. The green quadrangle is the magnetic Quadrupole used to focus the ion beams at the centre of the pipe in order not to interact with the steel rod used to transport it.

3&4 is the accelerator (very large that my phone camera could not capture even 1/4 of the entire Accelerator

BelieverDE:
Please, when you are done with the reports you have to submit, don't forget to share the lessons you learned about both views of the industry.

Thanks in anticipation

Sure bro.

Because other countries has solved the most basic needs of life, they are open to development and this development do not come with much associated risks. Few (Germany) use nuclear as a starting point , while using the money to develop other alternative power sources whereas others are exploring the numerous benefits in NPP.

Nigeria for instance has lots of problems majority which are people based. Individual Nigerians outside the country are forced to comply with the system, to them, compliance is natural because they do not wish to go back to the country (Nigeria) anytime soon.

However, one dare not try the things in most civilized country in 9ja, else, you'd see the effect of large population of ignorant people. To be frank with you, there's nothing here that can't be done in Nigeria, but the effect of our perception to these things prevents it from happening. For instance, over hear, the Train, Tram, buses, etc. use same roads with each means of transport adhering strictly to rules and everything is moving on fine.

But in Nigeria, train ways care cited in areas that are not used by pedestals or cars. In cases (such as lagos) that the train passes through areas inhabited by people, one will experience high risks etc.

Back to NPP in Nigeria, first, there's a high risk of kidnapping of facility workers (not by government but civilians e.g herdsmen, militants, etc). This scenario alone presents a high risk level that must be dealt with. Secondly, risk of attacking the Facility. Public perception of NPP. And other numerous instances.

ZackOF:
hello sir. I've been following your posts and topics back to back and I'm really moved by the way you write and describe stuff. I also love your journey and struggle. please I think I need your advice. Am a fresh graduate awaiting NYSC and am thinking of serving in either Kano or Lagos. Which one do you think is better? I schooled in sokoto. Also, you said you're a PTDF scholarship awardee schooling in France, if I may ask, is this scholarship open to economics graduate like me or only for science graduates as I've read online on some scholarship blogs. Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the late response, I noticed someone already helped out. Be informed that at this level of your life, you need little guidance and lots of personal development commitment. You will rarely see anyone who will attend to all your questions (this is the case in reality and in most education environment).

PTDF needs more of Petroleum economists, this is because, in the last decade, we have woken up to the reality of the importance of management even (often times) over technical competences. The country have lots of technical people but with low management abilities. Even at this time that technologies can be mass produced and bought when management can't. So it is a great field you found yourself.

Do not limit yourself, grab every opportunity as they come, try to do more yourself as outsiders can only give you "PowerPoint-like" advice.

Hi @mrphysics,

I am not yet adept at using this platform (could not find the original message about you visit to the particle accelerator, so I am quoting this one). Would you know (I realize this might be bogus and works with school-specificity, pardon me) how easy it would be to get into schools like the Science's Po Paris, Universite de Cergy Pontoise, INSA Toulouse? With a 2.2 might I add, but with relevant industry exp.

Schools in Europe generally do not give much priority or say value to African certificates. Of course, many still use it to further their education but the percentage is generally low, however, it is not impossible for you. My point is, schools reject first class students, even the ones with sound statements of purpose.

Be ready to receive some rejections (enough and it is normal). Do not limit yourself to few schools or one country, expand your scope, send as many applications as possible. Again, expect some rejections. I got two or three , those guys can be mad.

INSA is a Grande Ecole, meaning is one of the elite schools with tuition fee and great (quality) learning environment. They receive lots of application, therefore, your application needs to be super convincing (thanks to your industry experience).

Their application is on going, please do send lots of applications.

Warm regards

gensteejay:
Great thread.

I read one of your threads about UI MSc. Did you later do the program, and what area of specialization did you opt for?

I am considering enrolling for master's in Physics in UI. Thanks.

@emboldened; No, I didn't even write the exam.

UI is a good school in Nigeria, I have a friend that just concluded his masters in Medical Physics. Why not go for material science? And focus more in Nanotechnology.

Regards

Before I leave you for the night, let me share this with you.

When we left the final facility, our instructor called us (the two Nigerians). He said, "both of you are the two Nigerians right?", We said yes. Then he asked us if we have a nuclear facility like this in Nigeria, we said no. Then he said that he is shocked to hear that we don't have something like this, that Nigeria is the richest country in Africa, with a great number of people, that it is surprising that we don't have things like this over there. He proceeded to tell us about a world class nuclear research institute in South Africa where a lot of high level research is going on.

We both covered our faces in shame. The entire scenario and how it happened still keeps playing and replaying itself on my head, very painful and sad moment anyway.

Things to expect tomorrow (the picture below)
