Heat is generated via fission (not fusion) through the heavy nucleus splitting into two or more lighter nuclei which in turn continue to split other nuclei--on and on. This creats lots of heat and the heat is carried off via water, gas, or liquid metal to steam generators that produces electricity. The reactor is cooled 2 ways 1. by the water being carried off and 2. by control rods that control the amount of nutrons being released.

Being bonded means that you have passed all of the requirements necessary to perform a given job or service and that you are licensed to do that task and if you fail to follow the rules the client can file a claim against the bond to recoup costs or damanges.

Lets assume you are now living on $50,000 a year after taxes. Assume everything is in todays dollars ( which is not necessarily correct). Assume you retire at age 40 and will live for another 45 years. To maintain the same standard of living you would need $2,250,000 in saving/investments when you retire. Of course this may or may not be enough depending on how you invested you savings. This assumes you earn 2% on your investments over escalation. You would have $6,000 left in savings at age 85.
