The annulation lecture for Arslanian
[…] then fissioned in a purposely ugly way in such a way as to create like hellacious amounts of highly poisonous radioactive wastes, which are mixed with heavy water and specially heated-zirconium-piped through special heavily guarded heated zirconium pipes back down to Montpelier as raw matériel for the massive poisons needed for toxic lithiumization and waste-intenseness and annular fusion.' […] 'Just a moving right-triangular cycle of interdependence and waste-creation and -utilization. See?'
Context
Pemulis explaining annulation to blindfolded Idris Arslanian in the E.T.A. tunnels — the closest the book ever comes to a straight technical walkthrough. Waste is deliberately manufactured to feed the fusion that produced it, around a Montpelier–Methuen–Loring circuit Pemulis sums up as "a moving right-triangular cycle of interdependence and waste-creation and -utilization." (Idris, in between: 'My head is spinning on its axis.') Another scene the motif catalog had nothing for.
