[GreenKeys] Loop supplies, or how to drive a selector magnet.

[Bob Camp]

Hi

It was good enough in 1940, that must make it perfect today.

Lots of fun when you get a random short and it takes out the control winding on the reactor. Stinky 
smoke and lots of it ….Great stuff though if it needs to survive a lot of fast neutrons or a big burst of gama 
rays. You would be toast, but the loop supply would still be working fine ….
