Jacques Tarade

Jacques Tarade (1646–1720) was a French engineer and colleague of Vauban, Marshal of France. He built the Barrage Vauban in Strasbourg, and the Rue Tarade in that town is named after him. He also designed the church in Huningue[1][2] and the later phases of the defensive works for the city of Landau.[3]

gollark: It'd be better to just magically make uranium ore and run through the crazy fuel cycles.
gollark: What's that fluid in the pipes?
gollark: So, looks like if I use the deuterium from my H-H reactor and feed it into a D-D reactor I'll get much RF.
