Experiences from FBTR
The Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) was built by India’s Department of Atinuc Energy (DAE) in collaboration with the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), using design features of the French test reactor RAPSODIE and the Phenix reactor. The main purpose was to build a breeder reactor capable of using the low quality uranium sources available to India.

=Thermal pulse= A thermal pulse is a short duration temporary change of nuclear fusion burning mode for stars. Asymptotic giant stars, a certain kind of red giant stars, have a later phase in their life when the fusion mode during short periods switches to and from helium shell burning, from their normal mode of hydrogen shell burning. These fusion mode changes are believed to cause a short temporal bluing of the star, in the order of 100 to 1000 years. This pulsing stage of AGB stars is called thermal pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB).

End of life thermal pulse
An AGB final thermal pulse (AFTP) is believed to occur in the very last stage of the life of an AGB star after which it starts wandering in the HR-diagram in a wide arc bluewards and then successively downwards, the atmosphere shredded off and ejected by a stellar wind into a planetary nebula. Their photospheres are ejected into space, while hotter regions of the stars are revealed, emitting star winds that pushes the ejected gas into rings and bubbles of gas, constituting the characteristic planetary nebula structures. Each late thermal pulser is believed to get rid of their photospheres repeatedly until no fusioning core remains, and the former star slowly cools down to a white dwarf. Very late thermal pulses are believed to occur in white dwarfs that are ...


 * In general, three types of “late” thermal pulse scenarios can be distinguished (e.g., Herwig et al. 1999, Blöcker 2003). (1) AGB Final Thermal Pulse (AFTP) takes place at the very end of the AGB phase, right before the star leaves this evolutionary stage. (2) Late Thermal Pulse (LTP) occurs when a star evolves off the AGB at phase 0.85 of the thermal pulse cycle and it is caught by a TP on the horizontal part of its post-AGB evolution in the H-R diagram. (3) Very Late Thermal Pulse occurs still later, when the hydrogen burning shell is extinguished and a star is descending along the white dwarf cooling track towards lower luminosities. In the VLTP case, the H-rich envelope is penetrated by the pulse-driven convective zone which leads to an additional short-lived H-flash. The abundance patterns produced in these three cases are somewhat different, but they all produce H-deficient ejecta and H-deficient post-AGB objects.

Modalism
Modal logic has its origin roots in Hellenic philosophy, including Pythagorus, Plato and Aristotle, who based their dialects dialectics(?) on Monism as the concept perception/idea(?) that ontology can be reduced to either a single detectable substance  (called substance theory)  and or a single being (the concept of the Absolute). Modal logic is by definition any system of logic that deals with possibility, potential and necessarily necessity (which is dependent on actuality ). See also Aristotle's Potentiality and actuality. Modalism is the way ontologically that Hellenic pagan philosophy starting with Pythagorus and following through Plato, Aristotle and Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism, analytically (the link is in reality Analytical Thomism!)  and dialectically deconstructed human consciousness and existence in order to represent their view of the monad as the "idea" of God and ousia as the essence or universal of being. Modalistic in is(?) the idea of God as of a single substance or being (ousia) called the monad that then emanates sequentially various realities (hypostasis) hypostasis. These realities hypostases which then amalgamate with one another i.e. as in the Neoplatonism of Plotinus; the Monad (the dunamis, potentia) and the Dyad (creator, energeia, actus) both emanate the Triad, Trinity (Spirit or World Soul). Plotinus teaching teaches(?) that energy or actus act has to have force or potential in order to emanate (dunamis or potential - force - defined as indeterminate vitality according to A. H. Armstrong). These realities hypostases coalesce into the material world (cosmos) or Universe. Here Thomas Aquinas, in his Five Proofs of the Existence of God, starts from the pagan philosophers rational proofs of the existence of the Pagan creator God. Hellenistic Greek paganism's God which is modalist God of idealism. These hypostases appear as a descending hierarchy reciprocally reflecting each other.





The Orthodox teach that God is not of a substance that is comprehensible since God the Father has no origin and is eternal and infinite. God the Father is the origin, source of the Trinity not God in substance or essence. Therefore the consciousness of God is not obtainable to created beings not in this life or the next (see apophatism). Though through co-operation with God (called theosis) Mankind can become good (God like) and from such a perspective reconcile himself to the Knowledge of Good and the Knowledge of Evil he consumed in the Garden of Eden (see the Fall of Man). Thus returning himself to the proper relationship with his creator and source of being.

Pagan philosophical modalism and idealism
Monadism is an epistemological component of Philosophical idealism and Modal logic. Which from a Hellenic Greek philosophical perspective leads to the concept that all is in and of the human mind or consciousness (nous). Therefore God is in the mind, of the mind (intrinsic) and not a real objective being. This is called a form of subjective or modal interpretation of God like the modal formations contained in Aristotle's De Interpretatione.





The process of uniting to the monad and its understanding in Hellenistic Greek philosophy is called henosis. Henosis teaches that man is God (in that mankind has the concept of God intrinsic to consciousness and God can be grasp by thought or rational contemplation). Neoplatonic pagan philosophy teaches (via Plotinus) that the first hypostasis or the monad (which is the first hypostasis) by which all things can reduce their essence, substance or being to is called dunamis or force (potentia in Latin) which emanated the second hypostasis called energy (actus) or demiurge (mind or nous as the creator), then the creator hypostasis emanated the soul or spirit. Aristotle reverses the modes hypostases into Energy first and Dunamis second, making his Unmoved Mover energy or (actus in Latin) and the second reality potential or motion. Each teaching a sequential modalistic manifestation of the material world via a philosophical "concept" called God. Supernatural in the East is that which is uncreated. Energies are uncreated and therefore it is critical to make a distinction between God and his Energies unlike in Pagan Philosophy. Since in Pagan Philosophy "energies" are gods (Aphrodite for love, Athena for wisdom, Hermes for intuitivism and Mnemosyne for Memory). Gregory Palamas in his defense of Hesychasm accused Barlaam of treating God conceptionally this way putting pagan philosophers over the saints and prophets who through revelation and not logical thought came to know God. The knowledge of God by the Eastern Orthodox church is not arrived at by a form of rational theology but rather by illumnation inner vision (theoria) as a stage of development in the process of theosis. Which again goes against the Roman Catholic theologians validation of theology using the Pagan philosopher Aristotle's Metaphysical and scholastic arguments such as actus and potentia.
