Yeah. So have I, growing up in one of the fallout hotspots in western Europe. 3 of my friends have no thyroid anymore, 1 died of lymphoma, one survived a brain tumor, barely. That's one high-school class that was out in the playgrounds back then. Anecdote, I know, but fuck you apologists in the arse with a barb-wire-wrapped hot poker while rats gnaw of you tiny balls. Assholes.
They fixed the uncontrolled spill of a couple of liters per minute into the ocean so they can keep on with the controlled spill of a couple of thousand tons? Wait, they didn't fix the uncontrolled spill, they plugged on hole, temporarily at best. They don't know the flow path, they don't know where it comes from and where else it is going. If that sells at good news, the spinmeisters are getting a bonus this year.
The main point to remember, however, is that it is referenced to whole body radiation exposure. I don't agree with the style of presentation, which I find somewhat confusing, but the most important problem is that your exposure is getting significantly up when you ingest or inhale particulate radioactive matter.
Well, a significant amount of the current contamination comes from Cs, which won't be gone in a hurry. So you gonna eat up your yearly maximum for emergency work quite fast, even in a month or two (I suppose you mean 100 mS/a - 100S is 10-20 times the immediately lethal dose). Since they have no closed cooling loop, they are continuously washing out the nuclear inventory of the core - best soluble stuff first. The high spikes in the first days probably was Xenon, now the well-soluble Cs is washing out mostly as CsI and CsCl, probably. How it goes on depends on whether the core in one of the blocks has temporal criticality - and there are some indications for that. Debatable indications, but there are simply not enough data released at this point. If that's the case, the shortlived stuff will be produced in higher amounts, not as much as in a normally running reactor, though. If not, the dosage we will see will depend on the speed of corrosion of the core remains and on how fast the cooling washes it out. Most interesting at the moment is block 1 - if you look at the official measurements, the pressure is creeping up again for the last two weeks and the radioactivity in the drywell is not going back. So there is at least something fed into the drywell that keeps the readings up - probably only creeping out slowly through microfractures or pinpoint holes, as the pressure vessel pressure is still increasing. Main point is that this is not over, not by any means.
It's the same on - that's where the Hebrews ripped the story off. Interesting difference in reasoning though - God nukes the world for sinfulness and shit, Enlil goes about it because the little fuckers he helped create make too much of a ruckus and disturb his peaceful universe.
There's a lot of the aspects of weather or climate personified into Enlil - he makes the plants grow, but he also sends devastating floods. Guess this unpredictable ambivalence is what they point at with "cruel and kind" here. Enlil is actually pretty badass, but with a strong schizophrenic tendency. First he helps create mankind, then he tries to wipe them with a flood, because they make too much noise. Utnapishtim - the Noah-equivalent of Sumerian mythos - does the whole ark thing, and hey, Enlil has another change of mind, walks over to old Utna and makes him immortal. Not exactly clear lines of action here.
Well, of course you first assume a spherical pizza in a vaccuum isotropically emitting radiation. The rest is simple and left as an exercise for the reader.
On the same note you could have argued against petrol driven cars 100 years ago. Yes, nice idea, but where do you find pharmacies to buy that kerosine from....
Well, if the US are mainly populated by idiots like you - and I leave that open for debate for now - then they indeed won't make any money. But, hey, who cares if you continue on your slide back to third world status. The rest of the world moves on.
I don't think that's enough cases for the insurance industry to go on. I just question why we should blow tax money up the nuclear industry's collective arse to insure them. Not like they add any considerable gain to society as a whole.
True, you got a point there - "the enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, nothing more nothing less". Indeed a lesson to learn. Somtimes you can use them for your goals, however....
Yes, Milton's Lucifer is quite some interesting character, indeed. Quite interesting that in Arabic mythology, Iblis/Shaitan takes the same role, the most highly educated and wise Djinn. He basically gets pissed off by being bullied around and takes matters into his own hands. Satan actually is kind of a prototypical nerd tired of getting bullied...
Lucifer was always the "light bringer" - from latin "lux" the light and "ferre" to carry. So it is the light bringer or the light bearer, but not the light maker. Of course, he was an angel of god, and I completely agree that most of the mythology is not biblical, but derived from Milton and Dante - the whole doctrine of hell is not biblical, but rather heretic, come to think of it. Then you got a lot of conflation if arabic ibis/shaitan demonology to top it off...
And when will that mythical time arrive? We've been through more than 50 years of commercial nuclear power and numerous accidents, some contained, some catastrophic.How long will it take until the technology is insurable? And how long shall we subsidize it? When is the point reached where the nuclear energy providers had enough money blown up their arse out of the public coffers?
Well, the olf polytheism is made pretty clear by the first commandment - "You shall have no other gods beside me". Telling that it doesn't state "there ARE no other gods beside me". There are, but stay the heck away from them.
Well, if - and I stress that IF - you are buying into that particular myth - you only can side with the resistance. Which would be Satan. Because siding with God is probably the lowest of low humanity can ever reach, given the questionable morality of the old fart, if you belive the stories. So Satanists got their point, I guess.
Hehe, that is the weird point, indeed. I am as Atheist as they come, but I am still interested in theology. Compared to catholicism, the weird-ass theology proposed by most "protestant" evangelical churches is so far out, it is "not even heretic", to paraphrase Pauli.
Given how much the amrerican evangelicals have fucked up everything - this is a pretty strong argument against Open Source. Just saying... be careful what you are proposing there....
Well, should the "god" that catholizism is promoting be real - then satanism is the only option. Because that god is an evil bastard and every resistance to the old fucker is legitimate. Obviously, the only resistance fighter within that particular universe is satan, so, yea, you should count me in on the lightbringer's side. Of course, the stories are just bullshit, so i just keep on keeping on....

You might want to consider a non-retarded lifestyle then. Yep, it takes some work and some self-reflection, but you can do it! Soldier on!

I'll concede that point to you...
VERY cute. Thanks a lot. "He's called the crawling chaos because he can't walk yet"... Snorted my beer at the screen there.

Sorry, the stars are not right at the moment...
Santa is an important part of Coca-Colaism, not Catholicism - easy to get that wrong.
