Anonymous Coward User ID: 1293190 United States 03/12/2011 02:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no idea what the half-life is of this fallout honestly-two weeks may not be near enough. Quoting: Dervish... Again I do not know the half-life of these alleged particles.But I suspect its a hell of alot more than the fallout from a "clean" nuclear weapon-meaning that if the 750 number is right-the USA most of Canada and most of Mexico will be a long long term radioactive dead zone. Again please post the source and background regarding that map. If this is anyway close to credible we are in a giant global catastrophe. Plutonium has been reported as been reported as the fuel. And when the particles get into the atmosphere, they will travel around the globe and each one will eventually drop somewhere.. but they will not "go away" for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time... |

The mixture is not sufficiently enriched for efficient nuclear weapons, but can be used once as MOX fuel." MOX fuel is what the experts on tv were talking about fueling this reactor. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1293190 United States 03/12/2011 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] "Mixed oxide, or MOX fuel, is nuclear fuel containing more than one oxide of fissile or fertile materials. Specifically, it usually refers to a blend of oxides of plutonium and natural uranium, reprocessed uranium, or depleted uranium which behaves similarly (though not identically) to the low-enriched uranium oxide fuel for which most nuclear reactors were designed. MOX fuel is an alternative to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel used in the light water reactors that predominate nuclear power generation." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 856055But they must be acting in consultation with other world leaders and nations. There is a reason they are ALL silent IMO. For better or for worse, it is apparently the same old tired world game plan to stall, deflect, discount, ignore, deny and ostrich-ize themselves as long as possible. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1205638 United States 03/12/2011 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no idea what the half-life is of this fallout honestly-two weeks may not be near enough.A nuke uses most of that energy in the bombs explosion.An out of control reactor doe not. Quoting: DervishIf one reactor goes bang and one more is close to being tits up-you have a huge probability of a no mans land around the second one so that would also be a possible catastrophic event if no one can get to work on it. Water pumped into the core in an uncontained manner results in huge amounts of radioactive steam and gas. When you get into a China Syndrome type nightmare a constant venting of vaporized radioactive matter spews up somewhere-even if its alot of glass(sand) on top while its molten it allows gases to seep thru-rather violently. Now- to the important point-that map that someone posted... where did that come from? Whats the history behind it? Because if they plan on 750 rads for the western USA EVERYTHING there dies.I assume its 350 rads for the rest of the USA-ALOT of things die in that zone. Again I do not know the half-life of these alleged particles.But I suspect its a hell of alot more than the fallout from a "clean" nuclear weapon-meaning that if the 750 number is right-the USA most of Canada and most of Mexico will be a long long term radioactive dead zone. Again please post the source and background regarding that map. The Soviet Union has used Tacttical Nuclear weapons in the past. Wat you have just written here has just scared the crap out of me... Th enormity of the poor Jaaneese people situation will become very clear soon. If this is anyway close to credible we are in a giant global catastrophe. I think about Elenn as being close to the next ELE event coming in NOvember we definatly need to consider shutting down all of the worlds Nuke plants to provide those remaining an oppurtunity to survive before the pole shift |
