Subject: PITCH: The $6-Billion Nuclear Waste Tech That Vanished While the U.S. government spends billions on temporary nuclear waste storage, a revolutionary technology patented to safely burn spent fuel has been buried in a corporate black hole for 25 years. robertbiorg50@gmail.com

Reactor pays various rates for all original content, and details involving payment rates, paperwork, and invoicing are provided upon acceptance of a pitch. Feel free to direct any specific questions to blogsubmissions@tor.com.

What are estimated response times? More than a few writers in spec fic circles have mentioned not receiving responses on pitches in the past. Will there be a form rejection?

Okay, why? Practically every respectable magazine sends a form rejection for pitches and articles; Moksha even does it automatically when a staff member for a publication presses the button.
