I have sent the following email to The Technology Strategy Board and cc'd to DECC, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and the Weinberg Foundation
I want to know who to contact to ask about setting up a research and
development programme to build manufacturing skills in the building and
development of Molten Salt Technologies that could later be used to build a Molten Salt Thorium Reactor.
It appears from discussions I have had following a talk given on the subject of Thorium Reactors at the Anglia Ruskin University recently that there is a lot of non-radioactive pre-cursor work that can be done that would be useful in the development of molten salt technologies, not just for Thorium nuclear reactors, but in other areas of waste management and manufacturing as well.
Would you be interested in helping support a workshop to help define what is needed form such pre-cursor work called "Pathways to building a UK Molten Salt Thorium Reactor"
For example: Preliminary research could concentrate on many non-nuclear aspects of using Molten Salts Reactors, such as chemical techniques required to remove fission products (using non-radioactive chemical analogues to start with), including slag formation and other types of density driven separation techniques, thermal convection studies, molten salt material pumping and handling, corrosion studies, developing radiation tolerant safety critical equipment, mathematical modelling, initial non-nuclear molten salt heating systems (electrical/electromagnetic/eddy current) etc.
This will require researchers in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, material science, mechanical and electrical engineering, mathematical modelling, along with enough experienced support staff to define safe working practices and industrial experience and expertise.
Experienced nuclear engineers and physicists would then need to collect all this research data up, along with the historic experimental study data from Oak Ridge etc, to feed into the design of a new accelerator initiated/maintained molten salt Thorium development reactor. Some money would be required to bring international experts over to the UK as part of this design process.
(It is worth noting the possibility that there may be a major government
push towards Thorium Reactors in 4 to 10 years time, if the costs of
reactors, using probabilistic safety design methodologies, carry on rising as rapidly as they are at the moment; pressure to look at intrinsically safe reactor designs, including fail safe passive cooling of spent fuel, can only increase.)
I suppose the competition funding levels would be in the region of £100
million pounds to set up a molten salt technologies reserch and development institute where such work could be safely organised.
From the current distribution of experts the best location for such a
development institute will be in Liverpool or Manchester. Unfortunately
Sellafield would be a completely unsuitable location for such an institute,
due to its remote location and inadequate skills base and commercial
I would expect that some of the funding for this could come from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority as the molten salt reactor has the potential to be the cheapest route to disposing of our plutonium stockpile. Given that they have recently spent £250 million on a state of the art research facility at Sellafield, I am sure they could spare £50 million or so to help establish a molten salt research facility. I fully expect private sector money and other government research funds could be leveraged in as well.
Let me know what you think. I understand there are people in the Nuclear Industry would remain unenthusiastic about this sort of research direction. I have met some of them and would be happy to meet with others to argue out the pros and cons of setting up such a research institute.

"Nuclear experts in Sheffield display united front in tackling Britain's radioactive waste"
"The conference centred on discussing and developing new ideas for the storage of nuclear waste and the possible corrosion of current storage methods. The symposium included brief presentations on topics such as the corrosion of current stainless steel storage containers, possible alternatives to GDF (Geological Disposal Facility) such as Deep Bore Holes and understanding the behaviour of plutonium in radioactive wastes."
Nuclear experts are now proposing a new solution to the problem of radioactive waste: Deep Bore Holes (this is as an alternative to plutonium disposal in a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF)).
Yes well done Nuclear Experts propose a solution that will be impossible to fix, if plutonium or other nasties start leaching into ground water.
I feel sorry for these Nuclear Experts, there is a such a large river of public billons constantly heading up to Sellafield, that it really must be a constant struggle to find new and creative ways of disposing of it, which at the same time look as if they are achieving something useful; they obviously all now agree that drilling Deep Bore Holes will be a potential gold rush for them in this regard.
Just in case you thought I just make this sort of thing up, only in the last week it was announced that another billion is due to be spent on infrastructure spending at Sellafield.
"Morgan Sindall beats Balfour to £1.1bn Sellafield contract"
"Work will include the the maintenance of steam and electricity generation, water supply, chemical storage and distribution, drainage networks and all transport infrastructure at the site."
However there is only so much you can spend on manitaining a finite area of land, and its buildings; digging down obviously opens up a whole new frontier for them.
I have sent an email to Sheffield University to ask if there was any discussion of molten salt reactors at this event, and whether academics there would like to attend a workshop on "Pathways to building a UK Molten Salt Thorium Reactor".

James, It's inspiring that you have such dedication on the issue which is of strategic importance to the future of energy. Do you have good articles/journals or websites on the principles of the Molten Salt Thorium Reactor design apart from wekipedia, would love to read up more about it in my spare time.
My gut feel on the little I've read is the physics seem to be straight forward but the chemistry would be daunting in writing a safety case as you would have salts interacting with metals and potential for Environmental Assisted Corrosion. In that regard, would love to see a design document as to ascertain what is the life limiting aspect of the reactor design. It' s a shame the research was not able to be done thoroughly in the 70's due to nothing dumber than pure politics.
20 October 2012 10:09 PM
See for example
this webpage contains a link to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory document repository
However my main worry in just relying on this information and other website information derived from it, is that the oral and practical knowledge of technicians associated with Oak Ridge Labs may not have been passed on fully in the academic papers and reports. The tacit knowledge of technicians is essential to the success of any endeavour like this. In my experience academics often undervalue these skill sets, and vastly overestimate their own, and thus large vital chunks of practical skill based knowledge can be missed out from the written record.
Because of the long period of time since the original experiments, and with safety regimes completely transformed and now much more formalised, I basically think we need to build up the practical and experimental skills of researchers and technicians from scratch with the use of analogous Molten Salt chemical systems first, so all these types of skill can be developed, recorded and demonstrated, prior to starting the time consuming process and huge expense of getting regulatory approval for the start up of a new type of nuclear reactor that the Office of Nuclear Regualtion (ONR) will be completely unfamiliar with.
My opinion is informed by my experiences in academia, industry and more recently from a long and very helpful discussion with an senior ONR inspector at a recent nuclear event I attended.
I hope this goes some way to answering your question. I don't think proceeding directly to a Molten Salt Thorium Reactor will work given the current UK regulatory environment. Some people may think the regulatory regime is wrong and then campaign politically to get a different regulatory regime in place specifically designed for these types of reactor. In my opinion this approach won't get anywhere without recent hard and verifiable engineering data, and a wide set of skills and processes which can be fully demonstated to the necessarily sceptical regulator.
It suggested to me that I change the name of workshop, perhaps it should be called "Developing the Pathway to a UK Molten Salt Thorium Reactor" instead.

James et al,
Before getting too excited about Thorium, can I recommend that you read this briefing:
Of course, like everything on the topic, it comes from its own agenda, but the points it makes seem to be valid, and need addressing before it is appropriate to put resources into development.
I share your concern about loss of skills, and I suspect it also troubles the military. They need real experts to design, build and operate their submarines, and their weapons, and this will be a lot more expensive (and a lot harder) if there is no civilian industry also in need of a lot of experts in the field. I fear this is a source of much of the policy enthusiasm for nuclear electricity.
The core societal need is for experts and research in managing the safe transmutation or disposal of waste (and surplus plutonium). Since we have a legacy problem that will be with us for generations, we do need to maintain nuclear expertise and capability. The special trick we need to pull off is to do this while curbing the over-active imaginations (and channelling the idealism) of those who do devote their careers to this field.
It is possible that what we know about thorium and molten salt reactors will help in this, but, to me, this would be a distraction from our most vital need.

I am avocating a four year non-nuclear programme of molten salt reactor pre-cursor research at the £100 million funding level. This isn't a very big change in the allocation of uk public resources.
Given that we are poring billions into Sellafield, a billion into CCS, billions into ITER, and billions into off-shore windfarms (before they have been properly engineered for that particular task) - I completely refute that a £100 million project will be a distraction to our most vital need (whatever that is, presumably low-carbon energy generation at economically competitive prices).
All it is, is a 4 year programme of research and development (that doesn't need to commit us to further spending if the processes and technologies genuinely prove to be too difficult and too expensive as Oliver Tickell is suggesting).
I now believe the problems associated with the development of the thorium molten salt reactor will ultimately prove much easier and much cheaper to solve than getting CCS or Nuclear Fusion to work.
Lots of other people disagree with me and seem to believe that CCS and nuclear fusion are much more urgently worth persuing; both technologies are now inline for billions of pounds in public support in future years.
I just want a very slight adjustment to funding support; £900 million to CCS with £100 million to my proposed molten salt technologies development programme, would achieve this balance just fine. Other alternatives are available, money from the NDA for example.
In fact this programme will in part provide real engineering data in respect of some of the concerns that Oliver Tickell raises in his briefing. He should welcome this, we will be able to experimentally determine. whether what he is saying is either a true reflection of reality or a false one.
See Oliver Tickell's Thorium briefing
Oliver Tickell does raise a few concerns about the non-nuclear chemical aspects of molten salt reactors, but he could equally say the same thing about any nasty and corrosive chemical processes. There are lots of nastily corrosive chemical processes, that have been made to work through engineering effort, and which the modern world now depends; I have worked in many chemical factories and seen such processes for myself.
Oliver Tickell basically highlights that there are huge engineering challenges ahead and I agree with him on this. However we train engineers to expressly work on engineering challenges and not be too daunted by them, as he obviously is.
In regards to the military...
As far as I can tell the military is now looking after its own expertise base in the realm of nuclear technology, as recently has been shown by its restuctured investment in Rolls Royce's submarine Nuclear propulsion division.
I don't think the military is asking the civilian nuclear industry to march to its tune anymore. I think military learders are now actively changing their strategic thinking to meet the modern economic realities of British life; its about time civilian nuclear leaders attempted to do the same.
The nuclear proliferation problem...
The problem of proliferation will have to be solved somehow I agree, and all I know is that it cannot be solved by going to war. It is a political and diplomatic problem as much as an engineering problem.
The question becomes: Should the engineers not bother to develop further nuclear energy technologies because ultimately new discoveries might mean the politicians of the world will have to come up with new agreements over the use and abuse of these nuclear technologies (just like they will have to over future biotechnologies and chemical technologies)?
Obviously Oliver Ticklell's answer to this is an emphatic no, that the potential abuses of these new technologies will be too scary to contemplate; that we should all turn away from trying to exploit the potential benefits of technological change because the potential dis-benefits will always remain as an insurmountable hazard.
Technological advancement has created lots of problems as well as huge benefits. We always need to look for new ways maximising the benefits of technologies, whilst at the same time minimising their inherent problems.

Sheffield Uni. have just informed me that the list of talks from the meeting on "Research Frontiers in Radioactive Waste Management" is available here. Apparently abstracts will be published shortly.
Deep geological borehole disposal is described here.
"The borehole, which need be no wider than 0.27m, is sunk into the granitic basement to a depth of 5 or 6km and fully cased. The Pu-containing granite cylinders are emplaced over the lowermost 2 or 3km of the hole. Finally the borehole is backfilled with crushed host rock and sealed. In this concept the Pu is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its host phase which, in turn, is in equilibrium with the enclosing granite cylinder. The intra-rock fluids which will eventually seep from the host rock into the borehole will have equilibrated with the host rock over many millions of years and hence will also be in equilibrium with the granite cylinders. This multiple equilibrium should ensure that no Pu leaches out into the borehole fluids and so remains safely contained indefinitely. This is essentially the same principle that has kept the actinides in natural uranium deposits contained for hundreds of millions of years."
At the moment Karl Travis and co seem to have got as far as creating a heat flow model.
.Gibb, F. G. F., K. P. Travis, N. A. McTaggart, and D. Burley (2008), 'A model for heat flow in deep borehole disposals of high-level nuclear waste', J. Geophys. Res., 113, B05201, doi:10.1029/2007JB005081
This all appears to be academic conjecture at the moment, based on some limited and idealised modelling work; I am not sure how they would go about proving the robustness of their thesis, in real fractured rock formations, prior to any irreversible actions taking place.
No discussion of Thorium Molten Salt Reactors at this event.

Letter just written to the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am looking to encourage government to spend £100 million over 4 years (£25 million a year) to fund a Molten Salt Research and Development Facility. The research would initially be non-nuclear work using chemical analogues, in place of the expected nuclear fission products present in a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor, or indeed a plutonium waste processing Molten Salt Reactor.
It would be designed as an inter-disciplinary centre involving chemists, mechanical engineers, physicists, material scientists, mathematical modellers, computer scientists, nuclear engineering designers etc. (with the order of 30 staff + 15 PhD students + a range of industrial collaborators and preferred suppliers).
I anticipate it would be based in near Liverpool or Manchester or Sheffield.
I understand that you have recently built a £250 million research and development facility in Sellafield, to be part used by the NNL. Do you have any publicly available documents that show a summary of the detailed business case and rational you used to decide where to site this facility. I would like to see how you have rated it against other research and development locations in the UK.
Given the potential uses for Molten Salt technologies in plutonium waste management, I would hope that a substantial part of the funds to set it up could come from the NDA, say half, £50 million over 4 years.
I anticipate that the other $50 million could come from the £1 billion CCS budget or indeed the large Nuclear Fusion research budget or some other DECC or business department budget. Let me know if this sort of proposal in any way chimes with your thoughts on how to fund research on future options for handing our nuclear waste stockpiles.
I hope to encourage a funding decision on this by the middle of next year. The plan is to put a load of clever people together in one place give them some research and development goals and see what happens. I would hope that you would wish to contribute to these research and development goals, in proportion to the money you invest into the facility.
If the research directions prove promising the idea would be to start the process of applying for a nuclear license towards the end of this four year period.
Please let me know what you think.

The National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL) position paper on Thorium is available at
Also on this page is
- a report on the UK Nuclear Horizon, written just before the Fukushima Diachi Nuclear Disaster
- a report on Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
They say - "These papers reflect our independent and authoritative view and are supported by underpinning studies."
However this is clearly not true for the Thorium Fuel Cycle Document (August 2010). It has 5 pages of written text and there is no proper references to any of the underlying studies referred to in the document.
Although it is made very clear by the NNL that it should be considered an authoritive knowledge broker on this subject, this document doesn't evaluate Molten Salt reactors, which is a major omission.
The more recent report from March 2012 on DECC's website does include a one page evaluation of Molten Salt Reactors, within a 31 page report.
"Comparison of thorium and uranium fuel cycles"
"An assessment of how the use of uranium and thorium fuels compare within these reactors"
However this report basically comes to the same conclusion as the 5 page report published before the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster; that there is no business case for developing Thorium Reactors in this country presently.
One thing that the NNL always stresses is how technically mature the uranium fuel cycle is, and that this maturity justifies the nuclear research and development funds spent on it, without providing any evidence that this spending gives any substantial reductions in cost or substantial increases in process productivity. In fact the reverse is true, problems just mount up and costs spiral, as we spend more, especially at Sellafield.
When you see NNL officials please start questioning their viewpoint, especially on the question of the Thorium Fuel Cycle. Get them to admit that an investment of the order of £100 million over 4 years is not a lot to start the process of investigating the issue of Molten Salt Reactors, especially as it will help build up new skills that might prove useful in other industrial sectors as well.
Get them to admit that escalating costs of curent reactor designs relying on probabilistic safety are now a real problem. Get them to admit that after the next major accident (especially if it happens near a population centre) the costs of these reactors will shoot up further in an unpredictable way. Get them to admit that subsidising nuclear reactor insurance costs removes the economic incentive to develop intrinsically safe reactor designs (that have fully testable passive safety systems). Get them to admit...
Or alternatively ignore the issue; hide away; look after your job and pension; pretend the question of how we move forward on nuclear power doesn't exist; pretend the people currently in charge will always be in charge, and stay quiet, no matter how irrational their views appear post-Fukushima; in fact don't bother making any case for change when other people will take all the risk of doing this for you.
It now appears that the government will soon announce that it wants the public to underwrite the full cost of new nuclear, no matter what the eventual cost may be and despite the fact that we have not seen any of these new EPR reactors operating reliably yet.
You can either stay quiet, and let the blank cheque be signed on your behalf, or you can write in to MP's and government officials, questioning DECC's decision and the "authoritative" views of the NNL. Ask for new policy directions on new nuclear to be explored first. Ask for at least another 5 years delay before a final decision on a new EPR/AP1000 is made.

Many of you will be aware of the following story, but just in case you missed it...
"EU in favour of tougher nuclear insurance"
"Günther Oettinger, the EU's energy commissioner, said nuclear operators should have to buy liability insurance to cover damages from accidents - just like automobile drivers - even though this might push up energy costs.
"The obligation to have insurance cover will lead to costs that will be reflected in the costs to the consumer of buying electricity. Certainly this will not lead to nuclear energy becoming more competitive," said Mr Oettinger."
As I stated previously it is immoral for the state to subsidise electricity from nuclear power stations which have been constructed using probabilistic safety design methodologies, as this acts to discourage investment in new intrinsically safe designs for which the commercial insurance costs will be much lower. As a result we promote and maintain the short sighted technological lock-in to nuclear power station designs that can fail catastrophically and expensively, when we lose engineering control of them.
As well as being ethically indefensible it should be illegal for our government to use public money to favour specific companies and specific technologies in this way. They are in effect using public money to increase the chance that technological failures result in hugely damaging and expensive consequences for society. In this regard they are acting in the interests of selected corporations and industrial cliques, at the expense of society as a whole.
If the criminal courts could send politicians and nuclear industry leaders, including at the NNL and the Dalton Institute, to jail for continuing to irresponsibly promote and enable all this, it would help wake government officials, nuclear industry executives and academics up to the full consequences of their actions in this regard.

Clip of Professor Bob Cywinski, on thorium-fuelled nuclear reactors at the University of Huddersfield
There also are lots of well presented introductory public presentations on YouTube given by Kirk Sorensen. These aren't really aimed at engineering audiences, as he tends not to concentrate on the main challenges ahead, which a more interesting topic for engineers to think on.

The Nuclear Decomissioning Authority (NDA) has confirmed to me that they are not currently considering funding pre-cursor research into molten salt reactor technologies.
Apart from geological disposal or re-processing of plutonium as a MOX fuel, the two other approaches being examined by the NDA are the GE-Hitachi PRISM liquid sodium fast reactor and the Candu Reactor.
This simplies molten salt pre-cursor work in the uk as it does not now have to include waste converter type designs.
The NDA have previously commissioned Molten Salt reactor research and this work was undertaken by the National Nuclear Laboratories (NNL). The NDA will soon be letting me and the Weinberg Foundation (and all readers of this forum) know of these reports they are willing to release to the public.

which ended yesterday is that there have been major changes to the project plan in regards to the building of the Chinese 2MW test molten salt reactor
The deadline to complete the molten salt reactor build phase will now be 2020 (put back from 2017), with a doubling of staff numbers and an unspecified increase in resources.

The European Union has launched a new Nuclear Forum:
I have written in to the EU to ask if there will be any money available for Thorium Molten Salt Reactor research.
This initiative may just become yet another vehicle for subsidising existing solid fuel Uranium Fission technologies or indeed a way of adding yet more to the copious funds available for Fusion research. However I live with the hope that change is in the air.
I will let this forum know what they say.

Copy of letter I am sending out to beg for funding for
'Technical History of Molten Salt Technologies Research in the UK'
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a consultant engineer and member of the IET with a mechanical engineering and physics background.
In discussions following a talk on Thorium Reactors given by Hywel Owen from Manchester University, it has become clear that for any program to ultimately develop a molten salt thorium reactor to begin in the UK, we would probably have to start with researchers and technicians already familiar in working with chemistry in molten salt fluids; this is so that some initial exploratory experimental work can be undertaken to model the removal fission products from a molten salt, initially using non-radioactive chemical analogues.
This is so that the research team would be able to later demonstrate to the UK Office of Nuclear Regulation practical competence in handling basic materials used in a thorium molten salt reactor, before going to the expense of applying for a nuclear licence to carry out further experimentation with the addition of radioactive substances.
I am writing because I would like to see a Molten Salt Reactor research programme initiated in the UK starting within the next year, concentrating initially on non-nuclear precursor including molten salt chemistry and mechanical engineering.
Initially I am looking to get old government research reports with relevance to the civilian applications of molten salts technologies either put in the public domain or in terms of specific technologies applicable to a self-contained product (e.g. molten salt valve or pump) licensed out to commercial partners.
From information I have received from the NDA so far it appears that there is a significant amount of material concerning molten salt technologies hidden away in various archives and quite a lot of scientists and engineers have been involved in this work over the years. A lot of these scientists and engineers are retired, and access may be granted through the NDA to interview some of them.
Initially I was planning to make all the necessary applications for public release myself but there is so much material that I now think that a full time researcher at a university would be a better route to take.
The estimate for research costs for a 2 year post doctoral position in Chemical Engineering at Nottingham University, including travel expenses, and administrative and technical support, would be £280,000.
I was wondering whether you would be prepared to make a grant of between £5,000 and £30,000 to help go towards the cost of this research effort. All output will be in the public domain and you will be issued with bound paper copies of the research reports for your library.
Please let me know if you are interested in supporting this project.
(All monies raised will go direct to Nottingham University to pay for this research)

I was chatting to my Dad about this last night - he once worked at the Atomic Energy Authority site at Culcheth, doing research into liquid-sodium cooled reactors (breeders mainly). There are some good stories and probably a lot of science tucked away in archives and memories. I don't know if he's going to get around to typing anything up, but I showed him this thread and he was quite interested.
Dr. Andrew Roscoe
15 November 2012 03:26 PM
Its about molten sodium (not molten salt), but I found a declassified NASA document available at either of the following 2 locations, which describes some of the work going on in the early 60's.
My Dad just read this and he says it describes quite accurately some of the work he was doing at Culcheth at the time. He distinctly remembers the oxygen and carbon measuring systems.

The debate over the proliferation monitoring of Thorium reactors is now picking up.
This is an important issue that needs to be addressed.
Without NDA supplied fissile material to start a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor program in the UK, the system operator has to slowly build up their own supply of Uranium-233 somehow to be used in the reactor. This initial breeding of Uranium-233 can be done within the reactor itself if some kind of neutron source (small uranium fission reactor (additional regulatory poblems), lossy fusion (unproven? and potentially many months to get the reactor started), proton accelerator (very expensive)) is built as part of the reactor set-up.
"Lossy Fusion"/"Fisson" Hybrids are discussed here
Obviously this activity must have full civil regulatory approval and monitored for proliferation risks by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Practical agreements for regulatory monitoring have a greater chance of working if fissile material does not need to be moved to and from the regulated reactor sites.
For this to work the net quantities of uranium-233 buffered up in the reactor need to be controlled (minimised) and monitored at all times, using some combination of measurements, including of measurement of protactinium decay rates (to establish the rate of Uranium-233 creation) and accurate measurements of the reactor power output (giving the rate of Uranium-233 destruction though fission). These measurements can be buttressed with a range of other measurement techniques and monitoring systems that can be used in parallel to help verify accuracy.
If the thorium molten salt reactor is designed to be switched off and on for back-up generation and peaking work, then the control of net Uranium-233 buffer stock levels is slightly complicated by the time lag assoiated with the 27 half-life of the decay of protactinium to Uranium-233.
The main challenge of setting up a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor Research Programme is uncovering all the new multi-faceted systems/integration engineering problems that need solving, and then setting out to solve them in a reasonably sensible and cost effective order; added to the engineering problems is a whole new set of political and regulatory problems and concerns that will need addressing.

A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
While white on yellow is a rare colour selection, possibly because of the inherent lack of contrast, this logo concept really works for me. I love the boldness of the design and how well it works with the name! While the colour makes a great impact, the lemon logo could make a stronger statement were the designer to drop the detail on the lemon segments.Posted in Branding → Logo
An absolutely fascinating design for a washing machine that's controlled by a computer running on Android. The overall design is incredibly futuristic and edgy, but I love it! The use of coloured sections and detailing looks just great, while the Android panel and remote control concept is really interesting.Posted in Interface → Other
A brilliant interactive catalogue for a supermarket. The touchscreen layout is intuitive and makes great use of colour to differentiate between different sections of the supermarket. I'd love to play with it and see what the animation effects are like. The weighting and dynamics of the appearing categories could make or break this design.Posted in Interface → Other
Here we have a brilliant logo design for a photographer. I find the symmetry works extremely effectively, as does the use of a specific design over a photograph. Appropriately, the circular nature of the logo is beautifully reminiscent of a camera lens.Posted in Branding → Logo
A absolutely stunning concept for a sports band that integrates with the Nike+ system. I love the colour and variety in the other potential designs, although the orange and black one does it for me! The incorporation of the USB memory is an ingenious idea that purely enhances the user experience.Posted in Interface → Other
A stylish personal blog and portfolio for a web designer and developer. I like the boldness of the background colour, the circular headshot, and the intuitive layout. It's always good when you can garner what the site is for in a couple of seconds!Posted in Web Design → Blog
A bold HTML5 site for a web designer that has clearly had a lot of attention given to it. I like impact that the header makes and clear way the site leads you through. A good example of a how a single column layout can work.Posted in →
A beautiful AIR App that aims to be the cool digital version of your ordinary paper notebook. I love the background textures and paper feel of the App. The coloured pens available from behind your notebook really help to add interest to the design.Posted in Interface → AIR App
A clean and well though out site for a web designer. The use of a large focal header works well to draw in the attention of any potential clients. I particularly like the use of typeface throughout.Posted in Web Design → Design
A great site for a self confessed 'curious designer'. I really like the framing of the body of the site by a textured header and footer, they add interest but keep the content uncluttered. Using a small gallery of recent projects is a great way to add life to any design based site and immediately draws in any visitors.Posted in Web Design → Design
This design and development company utilises a rather interesting user interface to engage visitors to the site. The content is laid out in a horizontal slideshow for which you can, if you like, use your arrow keys. I like the overall simplicity of the idea, although using your arrow keys is perhaps a little gimmicky.Posted in Interface → Site Navigation
A brilliantly stylish and simple site a pair of industrial product, graphic, and space designers. I love the simple monochrome approach and stylised sketch as the focal point. The restrained home page works well with only three of their most recent works being shown in the gallery section.Posted in Web Design → Design
A fascinating approach to site navigation that aims to engage users through its unique and disjointed layout. I like the odd design of this site and its quirky appeal. Making a site intentionally unintuitive can sometimes work to further engage visitors, a portfolio site like this is the perfect candidate for such an experiment.Posted in Interface → Site Navigation

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
The American Legion will be 87 years old on March 15. Price Legion Post 3 celebrated the event on Saturday with a patriotic dinner and guest speaker.
About 100 people, legionnaires and spouses, attended the March 11 celebration. Sun Advocate publisher Richard Shaw was the guest speaker.
The American Legion was founded in March 1919 shortly after the end of World War I by a group of United States veterans who were still stationed in France.
The servicemen saw the need to form an organization to grovide for wounded and disabled veterans. The constitution and bylaws of the American Legion were drafted in May 1919 at a caucus in St. Louis, Mo.
The American Legion was chartered by the U.S. Congress later in 1919 as a mutual-help, wartime veteran's organization.
But today, the American Legion is a community service organization as well.
The organization counts nearly three million men and women as members. Veterans from all of America's wars and conflicts are encouraged to enroll.
There are nearly 15,000 American Legion posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments, one for all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The national headquarters is in Indianapolis, Ind., with offices in Washington, DC.
In addition to thousands of volunteer members serving in leadership positions at posts across the country, the Legion has about 300 full-time employees.
Utah has the honor of hosting the national convention of the American Legion this year. The event will be held in Salt Lake City in August. The State convention will be held there in June.
The American Legion has been the foremost American veteran's association since it's inception. Over it's long history it has been a driving force in pushing key veteran's legislation through congress. The organization's crowning achievement was passage of the GI Bill of Rights in 1944. The GI Bill changed the face of America forever, according to Price Post Commander, Mario Dicaro, who spoke briefly at Saturday's event. The GI Bill provided the chance for a whole generation of Americans to get a college education at the end of World War II. "The GI Bill raised America's standard of living and helped to turn our country into the economic powerhouse that the world knows today. It helped to make us the greatest country in the world," Dicaro told the audience.
The Legion has championed the rights of Vietnam-ear veterans as well. In 1982, the American Legion gave 1 million dollars to the Vietnam Memorial Wall fund, making it the largest single contributor to the Vietnam Wall. The funds were donated by rank and file members and then presented as a single check from the organization.
In 1983, the Legion commissioned an independent study of the affects of Agent Orange on Vietnam War veterans. "The American Legion - Columbia University Study of Vietnam-Era Veterans" was presented to congress in 1989. And in August 1990, the Legion filed a lawsuit against the federal government for not acting on information about the harm done to US troops by Agent Orange in Vietnam.
In 1993, the Legion partnered with the Laborer's International Union to form a unique job-training program for Desert Storm veterans returning to an uncertain job market. And in 1995, the Legion formed a Persian Gulf Task Force to help thousands of veterans suffering service-related illnesses caused by the first Gulf War.
In August 2005, at a national convention in Hawaii, the Legion adopted Resolution 169 that pledges full support to the US Congress, the president, and US soldiers who are sent to fight the War on Terror. Resolution 169 is a statement of the American Legion position on the war and the Legion's efforts to support those who are sent into harm's way. The resolution calls for those who may oppose the war to do so in ways that do not harm our nation's war efforts or damage the morale of our troops, as was done during the Vietnam conflict. The resolution calls for national unity in supporting the war, and authorizes Legion leaders to do all they can to disseminate accurate information about the war.
The Legion also does a great deal of community service work, and has done for many decades. In 1935, the American Legion began a program called Boy's State that has taught many thousands of young men the importance and the mechanisms of our government. A Girl's State program was instituted a few years later.
In 1938, the Legion began a high school oratorical contest that has awarded college scholarships to thousands of contest winners who give orations on the US constitution. Today, as many as 25,000 young people participate in the scholarship contest each year.
The Legion has a women's auxiliary organization that is made up of the wives, daughters and granddaughters of war veterans. And increasingly, there are more and more women war veterans. Women are welcomed into the ranks of the Legion with full fellowship and honor.
The motto of the American Legion is, "Still Serving America," and members of the Legion are doing just that. A color guard performs a military service at the funerals of war veterans, and does so at no cost to the families. Legion members donate their time and buy their own uniforms to be a part of the color guard. Legion members also participate in many community events, parades, and commemorations each year without charge or remuneration of any kind.
Unfortunately, the ranks are dwindling and the organization is in dire need of new members. According to Post Commander Dicaro, there are 106 members of Price Post #3, but the average age of members is about 70 years old. Most are World War II and Korean War Veterans. Fewer than half participate on a regular basis.
The Legion is asking for Vietnam, Gulf War, and Iraqi-era veterans to sign-up. Legion members are united in their efforts to reach out to other veterans in the community. They are asking for help and support to keep the organization alive and functioning.
One veteran sadly commented at the recent gathering, that if more young members cannot be recruited soon, there might come a time in the not too distant future when there will be no color guard to fire that last salute over the graves of our nation's heroes as they are laid to rest. That would be a sad day indeed.
There are four American Legion Posts in Carbon County. Post #3 in Price, with Mario Dicaro as commander, Post #21 in Helper, with Fred Martinez Jr. as commander, Post # 44 in Wellington with Dee R. Thayn as commander, and Post #137 in East Carbon with Jim Robertson as commander.
To Join the American Legion, veterans may contact one of the post commanders listed above, or go to www.utlegion.org . They can also call Mario Dicaro, commander of Price Post #3 at 637-1953, or contact Tom McCourt at 637-4544.
There are other veteran's organizations in the area too. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) can be contacted at 637-7424. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) by contacting www.utdav.org . And the Marine Corps League can be reached through Jack Allred at 472-5002, or Phillip Pendleton at 637-5546.

Armando, Zeus, Tony, Peter & Damian
p.s. Don't forget to check out the first ever TTS Fansite by Vanessa at http://www.ttsun.net
She has exclusive pics of the new band members and more!
Onwards... "Well, as some of you may have heard by now, drummer Tommy Garrett and Twice The Sun have parted ways. As with many bands, the evil "Creative Differences" beast reared its ugly head. Basically, ever since we recorded the demos for Roadrunner, Tommy had been growing increasingly unhappy with the direction the music and the writing process was taking, and it was leading to tension and frustration among all of us. Tommy started this band along with the rest of us, so it was a very difficult decision for Twice The Sun, but it was a mutual decision that we should part ways. Honestly, it's one of the hardest things any of us has ever had to do, band-related or otherwise. We love Tommy as a person and friend, and we know he is going to be great in whatever he does musically in the future, but for the rest of us it's time to move on. Thanks to everyone that has supported us over this year and a half, and we'll see you soon." James, Tony, Peter & Damian - Twice The Sun

Motorola cell phone maker has announced that they have acquired the Swedish TV software company Dreampark. This could meant hat the company is looking to add to their TV technology with the acquisition and get deeper in that market. That acquisition is not expected to come to a final close until the second quarter of 2011, and so far details of the acquisition have not been made public yet. Motorola will look to use their Dreamgallery and other technology from the company and place them in the software suite offered by the company, Motorola Medios.
The press release suggested that the acquisition was completely for their Motorola Medios software suite, but the company has developed a number of other technologies that certainly could find some sort of use in other arenas of Motorola as well.
Once the transaction is completely closed, Dreampark will be integrated into their business and will cease to exist as its own entity. The purchase will allow the company to have a broader portfolio and will also allow them to increase their customer base moving forward.
It will contesting to see what kind of technologies come about as a result of the acquisition. There were no rumors about Motorola looking at DreamPark previous to this and it seemed to come out of nowhere from an industry standpoint. Could this be a start of flurry of acquisitions for their software suite, or will this single acquisition be enough for the company moving forward.
"This transaction enables us to continue to enhance our Medios software portfolio and capitalize upon the convergence of wireless technology," said the Motorola VP John Burke, who addressed the media following the announcement of the acquisition. This seems to be in the best interest of both companies and shows that Motorola is dedicated to making sure that their software suite is packed chalk-full of useful software.
PureMobile carrier wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked motorola cell phone such as unlocked Motorola Atrix, Motorola Spice, etc..

Immunotherapy for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Immunotherapy, also called biological therapy, is a treatment that either boosts your body's immune system or uses man-made versions of normal parts of the immune system to fight non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Just as the immune system fights infection by destroying germ cells that can cause an infection, it can also recognize and destroy cancer cells that cause non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Immunotherapy is one of many treatment options for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Other treatment methods include chemotherapy (a drug therapy), radiation therapy (an X-ray treatment), and stem cell transplants. Although treatments may be used alone, they are often combined. Treatments also are individualized, depending on how far along the cancer is and the particular type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that's being treated.
How immunotherapy works
Lymphocytes are an important part of the immune system. They normally produce special proteins called antibodies that attach to and mark foreign cells that invade your body. Once an antibody attaches, the rest of your immune system can help destroy the invader. If you've been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it means that some of your lymphocytes have turned into cancer cells that continue to divide and lose their ability to function normally. Immunotherapy either directs your immune system to help you fight the cancer or uses antibodies to bring other treatments (radiation or chemotherapy) directly to the lymphoma cells.
Various types of immunotherapy are being used to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including monoclonal antibody therapy, interferon therapy, and immunomodulator therapy.
Monoclonal antibody therapy
Antibodies used for this type of immunotherapy are made in a laboratory. Doctors can use these antibodies to mark cancer cells so that your immune system can attack them. They can also be used to carry radiation or cancer drugs to the cancer cells.
Rituximab is an example of a monoclonal antibody that is used for a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma called B-cell lymphoma, often in combination with chemotherapy. It is given by an infusion directly into a vein at a doctor's office or treatment center. It may be given once a week for 4 to 8 weeks. Side effects may include fever, chills, infection, bleeding, headache, and nausea. Some people have also experienced life-threatening reactions to the drug, so be sure you talk with your doctor about warning signs of dangerous side effects. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding cannot use this treatment.
Interferon therapy
Interferons are naturally occurring proteins that your body makes in response to infections or cancer. Researchers have been able to produce interferons in the laboratory to use as cancer drugs for some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Interferons may attack cancer cells directly and may also boost your immune system.
A type of interferon called interferon-alpha may be used to treat the non-Hodgkin lymphoma called follicular lymphoma and is also being studied on other lymphomas. Interferon is given by injection under the skin. You may be taught to give yourself injections at home, usually 3 times a week; treatment may continue for 3 to 6 months. Side effects are common and include having flu-like symptoms for several hours after the injection. With this treatment, you'll likely need regular blood tests to monitor your liver enzymes and blood count.
Immunomodulating therapy
Immunomodulating drugs can stimulate your immune system and slow down the growth of cancer cells. They are sometimes used for certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, usually if other treatments are no longer working. Lenalidomide is an example of an immunomodulating drug that is showing promise in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma. You might take this drug as a daily pill for 3 weeks and then followed by a week off. This cycle is then repeated. Side effects may include an increased risk for infection and bleeding, as well as nerve damage. It should not be used by pregnant women.
Because immunotherapy is relatively new, many of these treatments are still being studied, and additional types of immunotherapy to treat the many variations of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are under development. If you've been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, learn as much as possible about the disease and work with your medical team to find the available treatment options that best suit you.

DIY Hair Color: It's Easier Than You Think
The fix: A decadent, antioxidant-packed cocoa mask replenishes moisture and gives skin a restored, youthful appearance. "As skin ages, the moisture barrier begins to break down leading to dryness; the immunity layer of the skin weakens," says Jasmina Aganovic, founder of Bona Clara skincare line. "Hydration is the most important skin saver at this stage!"
Recipe: Combine 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 1 tablespoon honey, and one egg white. Apply to face and let dry before rinsing. The powerful ingredients make this a multi-tasking wonder-cream: Sour cream is a form of lactic acid that hydrates as it gently exfoliates; honey is a humectant that also boosts hydration while the protein in the egg white tightens and firms skin.
For extra wrinkle-fighting power, try Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair ($20, amazon.com) or RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream ($17, amazon.com).
The fix: Debra Jaliman, MD, New York City dermatologist, recommends a warm milk soak to soften hard-working hands.
Recipe: Heat 2 to 3 cups whole milk (enough to completely submerge both hands) in the microwave until it's warm. Pour into a bowl and let hands soak for five to 10 minutes, allowing the fat from the milk to hydrate, and vitamins A and E to nourish dry skin.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kathyo cotton simone cardigan Very nice material but if it is not buttoned the button holes are huge. April 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stef1285 Cotton Simone= disappointment I own 7 Simone cardigans and was really excited for this white one to arrive. Upon opening the box I was immediately disappointment with the low quality. The fit is terrible, materials feel cheap and hard. I am beyond disappointed with this item and can't believe cotton is priced the same as the wool. I have found the brand is going down in quality but prices continue to stay high. I would not recommend this product to anyone who is used to the nice quality the Simone's have been in the past. April 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SallyAZ Fabulous! I've always worn the regular Simone cardigans, but this cotton Simone cardigan is nothing short of fabulous. It looks beautiful! Compliments the white in my Tory tops perfectly! Only complaint would be that it wrinkles easily so it's not perfect for traveling unless you choose to wear it rather than pack it in your luggage. But, I have to say it ironed up like a charm. I'm switching to the cotton Simone cardigans. I just love Tory Burch. Always a quality product. April 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mwinkelm Simone should be in every closet! I like the Simone cardigan much better than the shrunken Simone. The Navy Blue is a nice neutral and a good alternative to black. Cotton fabric feels substantial, lays well, and the fit is very flattering. I like the cotton because you can wear it year round as opposed to the wool I'm 5'3", 34C, with an athletic build and found the fit of the Simone to be true to size. I wear a size 4 in Tory blouses and got a Simone in small and it fit comfortably. This sweater is a versatile statement piece--good for casual or dressy occasions. This was a great buy especially on sale! April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BoomerSooner Buy Cotton Simone (NOT WOOL) I did not realize that the Simone cardigan came in two different fabrics. The 100% cotton ones are great. The wool ones peel and get "bally" after very little wear. The cotton ones are comfortable and cozy light sweaters. The wool ones are ITCHY! Make sure you read the label and get the cotton ones (I made the mistake of getting one wool one and figured out my costly error.) For sizing I am 5'4, 128lbs, 34B and muscular arms so I prefer a size medium. The small fits but the medium is comfortable. Hopefully this helps! More colors please - like a crimson red, and bright colors for summer! April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vmmoncure Love it! This sweater is wonderful! I love the cut and fit, and it goes great with everything. Well done Tory Burch! April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaybird Comfy Cardigan The Cotton Simone Cardigan buttoned up beautifully, but since I'm a shorty, I naturally had to push the sleeves up. (Although that's not a negative for me.) The fabric is so soft and light, which makes it great for wearing over short sleeved blouses and/or dresses. I also love the big, shiny buttons with the "T" logo. :) April 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doc3 The Perfect Cardigan! I have this cardigan in black and white and love it! This cardigan can be dressed up or it can be worn casually with jeans...it's my "go to" sweater. April 4, 2014

Not worth purchasing. All it is is black rubber vacuum tubing that has been very unevenly cut into small peices, which you can buy at a hardware store for a pretty low price. Definitely NOT worth the price plus shipping.

Barcelona, SpainLocation: Europe
Disney Cruise Line returns to Europe and its homeport of Barcelona. This coastal city located on the northeast region of the Iberian Peninsula faces the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Its mild climate and cosmopolitan makeup combine to create a world-class destination for travelers the world over. Among its many qualities, Barcelona has incredible culinary delights, leading fashion designers, numerous museums and art galleries, expansive parks and beaches, a convenient subway system and last, but not least, amazing architecture—from Medieval to Modernism.
Barcelona has an energy and effervescence that is unique. Stroll along La Rambla, the city's main boulevard, for people-watching at its best. Dine on paella at midnight when the city really comes alive. And discover the unique public spaces, such as Parc Güell, the fantastical whimsy of Catalan architect í. Gaudi's other surreal wonders include Barcelona's most famous landmark, the Sagrada Fam�lia, a still unfinished basilica that has been under construction since 1882 and is now a part of the city's identity.
Gems from the Old World survive in the Gothic Quarter or Barri Gòtic, the center of the old city where you can marvel at buildings that date from the Medieval period or even as far back as Barcelona's Roman settlement.
Without a doubt, Barcelona is a marvelous departure port worth spending time in—on either end of your Disney Cruise Line vacation.
Fun Facts & Tips
Barcelona hosted the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.
La Rambla is Barcelona's most famous street. It is alive at all hours of day and night.
Barcelona is known for fine leather shoes, fashionable handbags, designer clothes and exquisite Catalan ceramics.

Note: Post Removed
We posted up a link to an Executive Management Jet that was en route to Washington state a bit ago that we saw a solid writer use on Twitter. While we don't doubt that it could be a private plane meant to bring back the Jets next GM, the tail number that was used in the tracker was not the one that we have been able to deduce is registered Woody Johnson and one we're unable to validate.
Could Woody have borrowed a plane from the same management company he uses? Sure, but we can't say for certain what the intent of that flight is. Don't read into it, it was just unverified is all.

If you don't already have their cookies on your computer, the link leads to a 'Welcome' splash page where they ask that you put in your postal code. I just copied the sample one and pasted into the field. You're then taken to the Shop Towels page.
I just use the Bounty paper towels that I have in the house, but in Belgium we used the blue ones, which were strong and more like a woven piece of fabric.
I wonder if the ones used in Belgium were anything like these:
Hmmm. I get a link to the Canadian Tire Corporation with that link, but I don't see anything about paper towels!
Interesting - I checked it before I posted and just checked it again and it works fine for me. If you can get to CT then do a search for "shop towels".
Thanks, John. I used the sample postal code like you suggested and it took me right to the paper towel page. I think that I have seen these in stores, so I'll have to check them out.

CANTON Calling it a milestone in the enforcement against illegal cigarette trafficking, St. Lawrence County has teamed up with three other New York counties to form an agreement to help halt trafficking of untaxed cigarettes from Indian reservations to locations in the state.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve and district attorneys of Franklin, Chautauqua and Suffolk counties reached an agreement this week with Ohio-based Greenwood Motor Lines, which does business as R&L Carriers.
The company said it will refrain from violating state law that prohibits shipping cigarettes that dont have tax stamps for sale within the state.
Ms. Duve said the black market for cigarettes is such that there are ongoing efforts to avoid cigarette taxes.
This agreement marks a milestone in the enforcement against illegal cigarette trafficking, Ms. Duve said. It underscores the fact that there are specific procedures provided for in the tax law for the sale and transportation of cigarettes in a lawful manner.
Ms. Duve said her office worked in large measure with the state Department of Taxation and Finance and through the department with the other counties.
Through investigations, Ms. Duve said, it was discovered that R&L Carriers had been transporting untaxed cigarettes.
Through the course of the investigation it became apparent that this company was involved in transporting untaxed cigarettes and it provided an opportunity for us to sit down with the trucking company and reach an agreement whereby they have agreed to a set of compliance procedures that will help them avoid future violations, Ms. Duve said.
Additionally, she said, the agreement gave prosecutors a chance to underscore the importance of abiding by the law and to help prevent illegal trafficking of untaxed cigarettes.
This assures that this trucking company will abide by and comply with the law, and hopefully this will serve to put other trucking companies on notice to encourage them to abide by the law as well, Ms. Duve said.
The agreement says the company denies wrongdoing, though an investigation showed it delivered native brand cigarettes to various New York counties. It also agreed to pay $140,000 to the American Lung Association and American Cancer Society.
Officials at the companys corporate office were unavailable for comment Tuesday, but they said in the agreement that if they comply with all of its requirements, the district attorneys of the four counties will not bring any criminal prosecution against the company for its role in transporting cigarettes in or for the state from 2010 through Sept. 3.
Ms. Duve said the agreement came about after an investigation into two 2012 traffic stops in St. Lawrence County, a January stop in the town of Waddington and a February stop in the town of Morristown, that revealed two different shipments of untaxed cigarettes by HCI Distribution, an Indian-owned distribution company in Omaha, Neb.
No taxes were paid on the cigarettes produced on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation, prompting state police to seize the cargo, which numbered in the thousands of cartons, at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, Ms. Duve said.
The investigation is ongoing and this agreement is with (R&L Carriers) in their role in the transportation of untaxed cigarettes, Ms. Duve said. The investigation has led into a number of directions and this is not the only company that has surfaced during the course of this investigation.

28 U.S. Code § 2401 - Time for commencing action against United States
prev | next
(a) Except as provided by chapter 71 of title 41, every civil action commenced against the United States shall be barred unless the complaint is filed within six years after the right of action first accrues. The action of any person under legal disability or beyond the seas at the time the claim accrues may be commenced within three years after the disability ceases.
(b) A tort claim against the United States shall be forever barred unless it is presented in writing to the appropriate Federal agency within two years after such claim accrues or unless action is begun within six months after the date of mailing, by certified or registered mail, of notice of final denial of the claim by the agency to which it was presented.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 971; Apr. 25, 1949, ch. 92, § 1,63 Stat. 62; Pub. L. 86–238, § 1(3),Sept. 8, 1959, 73 Stat. 472; Pub. L. 89–506, § 7,July 18, 1966, 80 Stat. 307; Pub. L. 95–563, § 14(b),Nov. 1, 1978, 92 Stat. 2389; Pub. L. 111–350, § 5(g)(8),Jan. 4, 2011, 124 Stat. 3848.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 41(20), 942 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 24, part 20, 36 Stat. 1093; Nov. 23, 1921, ch. 136, § 1310(c),42 Stat. 311; June 2, 1924, 4:01 p.m., ch. 234, § 1025(c),43 Stat. 348; Feb. 24, 1925, ch. 309, 43 Stat. 972; Feb. 26, 1926, ch. 27, §§ 1122(c), 1200,44 Stat. 121, 125; Aug. 2, 1946, ch. 753, § 420,60 Stat. 845).
Section consolidates provision in section 41 (20) of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., as to time limitation for bringing actions against the United States under section 1346 (a) of this title, with section 942 of said title 28.
Words "or within one year after the date of enactment of this Act whichever is later", in section 942 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were omitted as executed.
Provisions of section 41 (20) of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., relating to jurisdiction of district courts and trial by the court of actions against the United States are the basis of sections 1346 (a) and 2402 of this title.
Words in subsec. (a) of this revised section, "person under legal disability or beyond the seas at the time the claim accrues" were substituted for "claims of married women, first accrued during marriage, of persons under the age of twenty-one years, first accrued during minority, and of idiots, lunatics, insane persons, and persons beyond the seas at the time the claim accrued, entitled to the claim." (See reviser's note under section 2501 of this title.)
Words in section 41 (20) of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., "nor shall any of the said disabilities operate cumulatively" were omitted. (See reviser's note under section 2501 of this title.)
A provision in section 41 (20) of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., that disabilities other than those specifically mentioned should not prevent any action from being barred was omitted as superfluous.
Subsection (b) of the revised section simplifies and restates said section 942 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., without change of substance.
Changes were made in phraseology.
Senate Revision Amendment
Subsection (b) amended in the Senate to insert the 1 year limitation on the bringing of tort actions and to include the limitation upon the time in which tort claims not exceeding $1000 must be presented to the appropriate Federal agencies for administrative disposition. 80th Congress Senate Report No. 1559, Amendment No. 48.

1966—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 89–506struck out provisions dealing with a tort claim of $2,500 or under as a special category of tort claim requiring preliminary administrative action and substituted provisions requiring presentation of all tort claims to the appropriate Federal agency in writing within two years after the claim accrues and commencement of an action within six months of the date of mailing of notice of final denial of the claim by the agency to which it was presented for provisions requiring commencement of an action within two years after the claim accrues.
