One MegaWatt!
On Friday at work (www.sns.gov) we achieved a new milestone (http://www.oakridger.com/news/x1699589954/Neutron-facility-achieves-1-megawatt-power ) when the power of the pulsed proton beam produced by our accelerator reached 1 MW. The full design power level is 1.4 MW and we have already been approved for a power upgrade project which will go above 1.4 MW. Our pulsed proton accelerator set the world record a few years ago when we reached 160 kW.

From your past record of 160 kilowatts to 1000 kilowatts today is a feast. Watch out for the black hole! You guys may be playing with fire.
