The brochures depict lots of trees and wind turbines and basically ooze wholesomeness but all the while it's nuclear power they're selling to you as "green". I'm pretty sure the technology has advanced to the point where it is much safer now, but these old plants are like ticking time bombs. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70701656 Chernobyl's reactor exploded. Fukushima's nearly did. This was a transformer Fukushima's nearly exploded????? Are you for real? Did you miss the video of reactor 3 blowing its lid skyhigh? :kkwapper: |

Interesting Times User ID: 68126381 United States 11/01/2015 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These reactors eventually fall apart because the radiation they produce slowly disintegrates them over time. They only can last about 20 years or so.... and then it is inevitable that they destroy themselves with their own nuclear fission. Nuclear fission degrades all structures and materials, no matter how sound.... even solid concrete. Even surrounding structures are affected in the area....

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)] And much of the energy is used to produce crap that nobody really needs and that falls apart after a short time. The main reason for my wish to change this society is that so many human skills have no chance to come to fruition. Instead they are used in a really sick way that people are maintaining their own suffering from wars, hunger and illness. But it cannot be changed “top-down”, only in some kind of “grassroots revolution” or better “evolution” where more and more people work together to get rid of TPTB (whoever that is). No need for a “big event” but a development. One of my ideas to reach it: Don’t play “their” games - don’t use “their” rules - don’t think in the box of “their” paradigms. It’s more “refuse” than “resist” - without too much ideology. You don't need to know much about "what's going on behind the curtains", it's mainly to create your own rules together with likeminded people. That is what I mean with “I’m on the side of the people”. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 55915768 United States 11/01/2015 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Investigators are now trying to establish how the fire stated and assess damage. Elia, the company that operates Belgium's power net, has confirmed the impact on the network and speaks of a "minor dip". Quoting: Tess. At the Doel nuclear power plant only reactor 4 is operational at the minute. It generates 1,000 Megawatts. Reactors Doel 1 and 2 were being made ready to go online again once the Belgian government gives the go ahead for an extension of the reactors' life span. The two reactors were expected to go back online on 1 December. Doel's reactor 3 has been offline for a while now after cracks were discovered in the reactor vessel.

[link to deredactie.be] This may be a bad situation. The dip in power means that they aren't sending out power, but they are equivocating on whether the transformers providing power to the site are effected. Remember, nuclear power plants rely on a stable feed of electricity from the Grid they're sending power to in order to run the plant and it's cooling systems. Not being able to send power up to the Grid doesn't threaten the safety of the plant at all, but if there was an explosion in the transformer yard, then incoming power may also be effected. If that were the case, they'd be operating (hopefully) on diesel emergency generators. That also wouldn't immediately impact the plants safety, but loosing the emergency generator-provided electricity for even 10-15 minutes can begin a meltdown. It's not the transformer at Doel 1 that exploded. We know that because Doel 1 wasn't operating, and yet there has been a power dip on the Belgium Grid caused by the event. This was an explosion in the transformers for the plant's connection to the Grid for outbound electricity. I found out that this was going to happen a week ago. It was caused by a muslims employee who looked up how to make a bomb from his home computer instead of at work. Guess he pulled it off! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70696902 This provides a possible explanation for the unanswered question above. Why did a transformer explode at all? I had seen that story in passing as well, but didn't see what power plant it had occurred at. It doesn't HAVE to have been a puposly-caused explosion though. Transformers do blow up "on their own" for a variety of reasons. It's not a rare phenomena. Transformers work both ways, when the unit is offline power flows back into the plant to run cooling pumps and what not. Not really, no. See above. If I didn't explain it well enough, let me know. Opening curtains and looking out of window, nothing to see, back to glp. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70701763 Unless you're across the street from the plant, you wouldn't see anything to concern you even if you were in a hard radioactive plume. No radiation exposure they said the same during Chernobyl and Fukushima. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70701656 Time to order iodine pills? No...you have to take them weeks previous the event You should already have the pills on hand if you live near the reactor. Take them as soon as there is a risk of exposure. There currently is no risk of exposure.
