Makes me think of the Tribulation day

 

I was looking at that yesterday. Some pretty interesting stuff. It is a shame that the nuclear industry has recieved such negativity from such a horrible and mis-managed disaster.

 

I agree.
I am Pro Nuke but the world needs to see what happens if you blow it too.

 

I got this game given to me last year that has to do with that power plant. I have never played it because it is way over my head but I guess the same stuff happens in the game and you have to fix it got it from my dad who works for a powerplant but its not a nuke so I don't know why he got it.

That's just down right creepy. I had no idea it was that bad.

 

WOW, that was very intersting. I too didn't realize it was that bad. I'd like to learn more about the whole thing now.

 

Same here.

 

Wow thats crazy. I dont know if i would go there or not. Curiosity makes me want to see it, but all that radiation exposure kind of creeps me out.

 

Howdy,
You can go to http://www.iaea.org/ (it is the site for the International Atomic Energy Agency) for information regarding Chernobyl and http://www.nrc.gov/ for information regarding Three Mile Island.
Good reading with lots of information.

 

That business about pavement not being as radio active as the dirt around ... makes sense, never thought about it. WOW!!!

Creepy about having to be careful walking around there. No doubt some derelicts & bad guys running from the law hide out there now. Just freeking wonderful.

I wonder what about DNA ajustments to insects & mammals.

 

I'm curious as to how the animals are surviving out there. Maybe their genetics have changed enough to where they are immune to the radiation. Who knows.

 

I did. I never bought that krap those US doctors were saying about how safe it was. I knew better. If it was so safe, why were we monitoring the dairy cattle in WY & MT?

Nuclear powerstations in this country are far safer than anything in Europe or Japan. TMI's near disaster, was in 1979 and nothing has occured since.

 

Makes you wonder why there is so much cancer and health problems all over the world. That one nuclear accident made quite a mess. I wonder what all the nuclear bomb testing that all the nuclear powers did during the 40's 50's and 60's which included atmospheric, above ground, under ground and under water and over water , probably serveral hundred in all, has done to our overall health. We seem to be blaming our health problems on everything else.

 

Unfortunately, we have to learn from mistakes.
Being in the industry, we got to see training films from inside the plant after it cooled down some. Some of the doses those guys were walking around in were more than we could ever expect to get in a hundred lifetimes at a US plant.
TMI also taught us valuable lessons and many many changes have been made since then. The dose rates we are permitted now are a fraction of what they were years ago and there are back ups to the back ups to the back ups everywhere.
As with almost anything out there, there is good and bad.

 

and have you noticed... cellphone antennas and high tension lines are no longer allowed in residential neighborhoods?
Spooky stuff those pics. Nat
