Young people are always ignorant, relatively. They haven't been around long enough to learn much, after all.
However, the quality of education has been empirically declining over many decades, and mobile devices are extemely efficient accelerants of brain rot.
You rely on professional fabricators of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don't fall for crude propaganda.
When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It's normal.
The new generation of Russian fast neutron reactors use lead and lead-bismuth as coolant, not sodium anymore. They are not proper breeders, as I understood it.
Some of the new Russian reactor types are designed to burn away dangerous hot actinides. MSR need onboard fuel processing to continue to operate anyway.
Too bad we do not know which exactly thorium salt mixes they are using, what the materials facing the molten salt at high neutron fluxes are and how they fare long term, whether they use on-site constant or batched fuel reprocessing, whether they kickstarted the reactor with enrichened uranium or reactor-grade plutonium waste and other such questions.
US experiments were broken off because of materials corrosion problem.
Whether NFC payments work seems very much dependent on what your bank app is allowing. Some banks in the EU have no issues, so you should check what particular payment system you want to use.
In general, chances are low. Some people use smartwatches as a workaround.
I don't use smartwatches nor NFC payments with smartdevices. My bank card allows NFC payments directly.
Lying flat, especially with a wet contact to the ground is about the worst you can do. Especially in tne mountains, where voltage gradients reach much farther from the point of the strike.
Yes, the uranium tamper in a fusion weapon. Half of the energy in a fusion weapon comes from fast neutron fission, mostly in U-238. It's not a chain reaction.
