  5. ​​ @Theggman83  Not true. Since 2016 Ukraine had double digit civilian fatalities until 2022 - most due to LANDMINES AND UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE rather than direct bombing or shelling. The Russian invasion increased civilian casualties by a thousandfold.

  11. ​ @GlasbanGorm  That's because the blast overpressure reflecting off the ground and following the one travelling through the air is the biggest effect of an airburst. The building in the epicenter will be the least affected.

  12. Kind of a tricky question. If you're downwind you're getting fallout, but the area around the plant was cleaned up so it might actually be safer there. The issue would be construction or people who want to have their small farms/gardens because digging would resurface contaminants that were buried back then.

  19. ​ @Shadoweclipse1386  The kind of bomb is somewhat irrelevant, H-bombs having a higher yield also means there's a greater area where duck and cover will save people. Duck & cover was developed in part by interviewing Nagasaki and Hiroshima survivors. There were survivors close to the epicenter because their building was sturdy and they covered under desks. If you can survive a few hundred yards from the epicenter of an A-bomb, you can use duck & cover a few miles away from an H-bomb.

  23.  @sovietmoose5624  Conventionally bombing Japan would have taken time. Japan's mentality was that they could weather the attacks and simply wait out the Americans. A single plane with a single bomb leveling an entire city in a single attack changed the entire calculus. Hell, after Hiroshima they were actually considering that the US couldn't possibly have enough uranium to build a second one, unaware that the US also developed the plutonium implosion bomb. It was the second bomb that made them see the US as an unstoppable foe who would not be deterred.

  24. The Fukushima meltdown wouldn't affect you just standing a few hundred meters from the plant building. The Fukushima radiation releases were gas and water. The water was dilluted into the Pacific ocean, and gas was released into the air.

  27.  @SocialDownclimber  The thing is that further construction of reactors will be of modern designs rather than the more dangerous older ones. In older reactors they need to be actively be kept cool, and a failure means the reactor will keep heating itself until meltdown. On more modern designs such as the liquid fuel ones a failure will mean melting a plug that will drain the fuel out of the reaction, stopping it.

  30. That doesn't even make sense. Those in the fallout plume were not evacuated anyway, and couldn't. You can't just say "yeah anyone within 4000km of the disaster area? You go live elsewhere. Ask New Zealand or Argentina to take you in or whatever". This is about the evacuation radius, the radius is based on distance from the event location, not where the plume goes.

  34. The "reactor explosions" were hydrogen build up in the roof area of the plant. The actual reactor was fine, the roof of the building was blown off. H2 is pretty violent when it goes off. But it's more of a deflagration than detonation.
    2
  35. Yes. The materials are converted into non-water soluble forms like glass or ceramic. The Swedish method wraps that rod into a zirconium alloy, sticks the rod into a cast iron container, which is then put inside a thick copper tube. Then covered in clay soil. It's been years since I learned of Yucca mountain but I think that it was supposed to have low precipitation and the soil is not permeable enough to be a problem.

  49. I understand the limitations of air to air missiles but aircraft use the great circles to travel from point A to point B in the interest of time and fuel economy. They'd either come over the Arctic or from air bases in the Far East regions of Russia and "curve" over Alaska. Crossing the Pacific just to come from different directions would waste time and fuel, they'd split and go for their targets afterwards. Another quirk of early semi active radar homing missiles is that an aircraft painting a formation of bombers from a long distance would cause radar reflections from multiple bombers and act as rudimentary "chaff" against the primitive missiles, possibly causing them to miss an easy shot by flying into the gap of the "large mass" of bombers causing the signal reflections. Flying in formation increased survival against early SARH missiles.

  50. The thing with blaming the Soviet Union is that it ended in 1991. We kept studying the rates of radiation-related disease for the following decades.

  55.  @DartJedi  It's not about all or nothing, we're being told that our energetic needs make our standards of living unsustainable. While staring down the barrel of such an extremist, anti-human stance we should be clinging to our means of delivering clean power. But people raise a fuss. Do you not see the issue? Fast buck? One of the critiques of nuclear power is how long it takes to recoup the investment. The people who borderline call for a command economy, at least in the energy and transportation sector, actually raise this issue! The longer the half-life the safer it is. Obviously the cars wouldn't have nuclear reactors, they'd have batteries charged by the grid. The issue is, an EV charged by a grid that isn't green is still an offender against the net zero goals.

  61. The Soviet Union ended in 1991 and the region needed tons of aid and loans from the West. We kept tabs on the health effects of Chernobyl as not only it affected us but also because we had a vested interest in getting Ukraine to shut down the other Chernobyl reactors in exchange for more IMF loans. Because they needed the income from the energy exports they were forced to take loans from Russian banks... but I digress, the point is that they couldn't keep those secrets for too long.

  63.  @randywl8925  It's common for pilots to look at static objects without a frame of reference and thinking they are being followed. Same thing happens if you're driving down the road, almost static objects in the sky look like they're following you.

  64.  @isaactippetts882  Look, Cmdr Fravor probably believed he saw something. But he already "ruined" his reputation and can't back down now. You can tell when Elizondo or whoever is bragging about the "UFO" having an aura of cold air on the FLIR footage. Fravor's poker face is probably of a man realizing what he's gotten himself into. On targeting pods, there's an option that can be turned on and off to create a contrast outline so that the pilot can better notice targets. So if you have a hot source, you'll have a "cold" outline so that the enemy tank or whatever pops out from the background and you can point your laser guided munitions at it. The UFO nutter Elizondo doesn't know that. So he thinks there's a cold aura around the object. There isn't. That's an option you can turn on and off. Favor either forgot how his targeting systems worked, or he realized what he had done. He was looking at the tailpipe of another jet in the distance. And now we can't just admit he was wrong. So when you say military people are talking about it, remember that military people are like you and me.

  68.  @zackwildman3410  The Fukushima disaster was not like Chernobyl. Chernobyl actually had two explosions happen within the reactor, one of which blew the upper biological container. The rupture of the reactor and fires spread a large amount of materials. In Fukushima, the meltdown was contained but the generation of hydrogen caused gas explosions which blew the top of the buildings. They don't need a sarcophagus like Chernobyl.

  69.  @zackwildman3410  I really don't know what's going to happen because so many people left and have already declared they'd rather move on and forget about returning (since the people left, so did most jobs and many homes were damaged by the tsunami itself). So I'm not really sure what options the government has because if the area is going to remain vacant they might not want to invest more money than they'd need.

  78. The world's known uranium deposits have increased by 25% in the last 10 years. This is falling for the same old fallacy of "we only have 30 years of oil". We kept discovering more/known reserves became profitable. Uranium is almost as common as tin or zinc in the Earth's crust. Fuel reprocessing would also extend our supply. Then we'd also have thorium.

  82. ​ @JMurph2015  the containment vessel isn't a skyscraper though. Earthquakes aren't an Ice Age style crack that comically rips through objects. It's just a large shake. Tall buildings will be whiplashed because of how motion is transferred to the foundations and then makes the lower floors move and pull the floors above, then stop moving and the higher floors are still swinging. This causes cracks in concrete because it will see non-compessive loads. We fight this with foundations that minimize shaking, bracing that supports the load across floors, and dampers that minimize movement in the top floors. The containment vessel is more like a bunker.

  88.  @haloadic2424  The military doesn't like airplanes crashing into objects. Pilots are seeing objects. They investigate to prevent accidents and figure out what's wrong with pilots and their training. Example, commercial pilots reported mysterious sightings. It was Starlink. Many pilots were trained before Starlink was launched into space. So people panic. It was nothing. But we had to investigate, and now we will tell young pilot trainees that at night they'll see Starlink. And they won't freak out when they fly at night. There's declassified UAP investigations. It's usually un-tethered balloons or drones violating FAA guidelines.

  89.  @kanej7572  Mind that the government is made up of thousands of departments. Just because the govt people coming forward say it's not explained, doesn't mean there's no departments that have the solution but it's still classified. There's been a few UAP investigations declassified. It's really mundane stuff. But even when an unlicensed drone violates FAA guidelines and it gets reported as a UAP, the government doesn't automatically come out and say it. The conclusion is still classified by default.

  123. Bruce Gordon I believe has his story about the use of F-106s to intercept nuclear bombers. If their missiles failed to hit the bombers, they were supposed to complete the intercept at all costs, and this meant that they would have to use their own wing to clip the tail of the bomber, forcing it to lose control, and eject. Their fear was that not only the bomber's tailgunner would hit them, clipping the tail would potentially allow the crew to arm the bomb and have it detonate by altitude sensor. So even though the textbook way of doing things suggested they'd survive, they knew that if the missiles failed their only hope was to climb to high altitude, and perform a supersonic dive into the middle of the airplane - where the bomb bay was. Triggering the explosives by supersonic impact would in theory cause a fizzle rather than a true nuclear detonation.

  142. Swine flu was simply not as transmissible. I didn't know anyone who had swine flu. Everyone I know caught SARS CoV-2 and most likely multiple times. You could not contain it. Studies done on flu contagion inside hospitals also show the simple surgical face masks have no effect, it would have to be N95 for everyone. We could not have handled. By the time we knew it was around it was already too late. Couldn't be contained. Australia is an island nation and by virtue of living in the Southern Hemisphere their seasons don't work like ours. While we had our peaks in transmission and mortality, they had summer which helps curb transmission. And when they had their winter, we had slower transmission in the Northern Hemisphere. Australia's "success" is due to geography. Nature itself stood in the way of the virus.

The Unit 2, 3 and 4 were BWR-4 which is a 1966 design, still with Mk I containment.

The MMA promoter Pride FC had its owners told in no uncertain terms that whatever happened, if they did not close up shop Japanese media would keep tarnishing their reputation with exposes and investigative journalism into their connections to the Yakuza. To the point that when UFC CEO Dana White got to Japan after buying the rights to Pride FC, he realized he wouldn't be able to revive the brand because of the media hounds. But they won't investigate deaths and coverups...?

  163. But near the coast is where the water is. Large bodies of water provide an emergency heat sink. Even the reactor design, which was old, survived the earthquake and tsunami easily. The problem was that the generators and switchboards were put on the basements, which flooded. If they had been mounted uphill the pumps could have been restarted and the reactor cooled down.

  164. In the end Kyle doesn't say "stay at home lol", he explains we need to use more realistic thresholds, factor advanced age into equation, have contingency plans for the elderly, etc. Better safe than sorry but the evacuation also took lives so the "risking people's lives" applies to either choice. And how many lives were ruined to save every life at risk? Perhaps hundreds. Loss of home and livelihood is a guarentee while lives saved are shadowed by uncertainty.

  173. That's only because gas powered plants can throttle and back off quickly and sell their power at a premium to deal with short term peaks in demand. Nuclear has to sell power ahead of time for cheap and only cover an estimation of the base load.

  174. Not all animals are affected equally. Some insect populations have been greatly reduced due to them laying eggs on radioactive soil. Deformities in cattle born in the area were recorded after the disaster but subsided as the months passed. Another aspect is life span. Humans live long lives. One issue with exposure is that one can get enough to increase the risk of cancer later in life, but not be immediately harmful. There's the famous case of older people in Japan volunteering for the Fukushima cleanup because they knew they wouldn't live long enough to get cancer.

  179. But a lot of the energy is thermal. Sure you could try to directly capture neutrons, x-rays and gamma rays but one of the main features of nuclear reactors is that they get hot and will literally melt themselves if you stop cooling them. Even if you had direct radiation capture to get energy, you'd still need massive cooling. And steam is way more efficient than using solid state thermal generators.

  200.  @SocialDownclimber  Of course they weren't designed to be "dangerous", but they are still fail-deadly designs. Even with all the safety systems in place, they need active protection to prevent a meltdown. And if active protections fail (like the backup generators in Fukushima) the reactor will continue to self-destruct. The answer is a fail-safe design. Something that unless active measures are in place to keep it working, stops.

  201.  @SocialDownclimber  Solar and wind are not suitable as replacements. Solar farms take far too much space and wind whacks birds out of the air. It also affects the climate by slowing down winds.
    1
  202.  @SocialDownclimber  The fact that it does. A median of the land taken up by US nuclear plants shows it requires 1.3 square miles for every GW capacity. For a solar farm, it would require between 45 and 75 square miles depending on panel efficiency. "If you can power your whole house" - Exactly. You're only thinking of houses. Now power industry. Large machines the size of a house but consume a lot more than a residential building. Server farms. A TV, some lightbulbs, a computer and a phone charging aren't a big deal. "wind turbines to not affect the climate by slowing down winds." - Yes, they do. Otherwise you'd have free energy which is not possible. By taking energy out of the wind, you're changing the natural climate conditions. Wind carried thermal energy and moisture. By extracting energy from the wind you're creating a resistance to these climate balancing effects.
    1
  203.  @SocialDownclimber  No, that's not true. First of all, solar panels do get hot. Second, you're both strawmanning and appealing to the absurd. You can confirm this yourself, by taking away win energy the areas that are "downwind" will suffer changes to their local climate. You can deny physics all you want but wind is not free energy, that would be a violation of the laws of thermodynamics. No, you don't use them as much, because there are large areas that may need that wind to control temperature and moisture.
