I think the video of the Condit Dam drain down before demolition is great to watch. A concrete dam that was silted up, they set charges at the bottom, inside the dam to blow a hole through it. Apparently the silt is great for marine estuary health.
It's quite obvious that their processes were so poor that it could not even protect them from fraud. What this guys did was wrong, but frankly, as so called 'Security Specialists' they deserve it.
It's interesting to observe that there are still no damages against companies who maintain the same poor security when it leaks their customers identity data.
I wonder how quickly these security issues would be fixed if these companies could not litigate for damages causes by their own nonfeasance.
Is this what flies as an intelligent argument from leftists?
Radionuclides aren't energetic in the political spectrum.
The true test will be if accurate and factual information will be released about exactly *which* radionuclides, and how much of them have been released. This will be essential to know as many of these will be bio-concentrating in the water table and food chain over time.
That's the whole reason they are trying to clean up the site in the first place.

Grab your pacifier and head for your safe space, it'll all be OK.
Space is not safe. Apart from not having any air to breathe it is really hot and cold at the same time. Also stuff is fast and if it hits you it hurts. There are these invisible wells full of gravity which tend to suck.
I see what you mean, it seems like people are unconscious. If you're rational, your treated like a freak by people who are shallow, empty and vapid. Like thinking is the very *last* thing that they would want to do.
"Social Media stars" (whatever the fuck they are), and would like to see them all put in prison on charges of assisting cultural suicide,
Along with banning them from the net for all time.
Perhaps we should be considering an IQ test for potential netizens. People who are too dumb or trollish only get read access to the net until they are educated enough to use it properly.
Fuck them for opening the door to this legal precedence.
That is an obsolete gaseous diffusion plant which is no longer operating, and the contamination is of a sort which may be found at many a large industrial site.
Yes, I am aware it is no longer in service. I took the data while it was operating.
As such, it isn't the best example, unless you are looking for something nuclear to complain about.
No, it's the example that I had used. If I had picked fracking or coal or anything else I would like the data to be available on that as well.
Fortunately, there are better ways to enrich uranium today,
What are they?
and a LFTR won't need any enrichment at all.
How does that address the issue of the radioactive waste from the current fleet of nuclear reactors. Do thorium reactors burn up DU and plutonium.
Providing data is a useful service, and should be unrelated to climate science, even for a refrigerant of concern.
We should have data on all industrial pollutants in the environment.
The summary doesn't make it clear if this is also gone, and it seems disingenuous of the summary to conflate the two.
I used EPA data to find out about the CFC114 emissions from uranium enrichment from Paducah. The data was presented as CSV that I downloaded and then put into a spreadsheet to find out just how much was being released.
It wasn't easy, however when you put in the work the EPA data is pretty useful. So much for progress, I doubt polluters will see this as bad news now that public accountability isn't something they have to worry about.
Of course the problem can be reduced if we were allowed to control a root level firewall on our android or iphone devices.
But of course we are paying for phones so someone else can use them to suck data and use it to spy or advertise to me in a really creepy way. Pretty damn frustrating.

The biggest problem is you can't fix stupid.
He wins so hard he is probably thinking, 'what could possibly go wrong'.
From sniffing arse to kissing ass.

Also, how operators almost lost Glen Canyon dam from some bad policy decisions is pretty interesting due to the insights into spillway cavitation and what you can glean from what is going on over at Orville dam.

Except it's not bullshit, it was called the IFR. Which was shitcanned because
It was shitcanned because it threatened the oil and coal industries.

In safe space nobody can hear you scream 'SAFETY'
They are not interested in anti-social media.
Putin said emphatically: "I did not have sexual relations with that man"

Good Lord, man! Think of the implications for the Slashdot crowd!
The quality of comments would go up - sounds like a win to me.
Thanks for saying so. I'm half expecting to get trolled for pointing out that we still need to think.
especially when they want to politically correct the shit out of us

Well, as long as we have the data available.
On Android, DroidWall, AutoProxy and others use iptables.
I'll check those out, thanks!

I had frequent debates with idiots who couldn't comprehend why personal firewalls were fucking stupid.
It's hard to understand why if you don't explain yourself.
Just close the fucking ports
Should have told them to pull out the ethernet cable, hey why not just drop network support altogether.
But maybe you have something to offer, so why don't you enlighten me?

"Members of the scholarly and scientific community have described the proposals put forward in the book as pseudoscience and pseudoarchaeology"
Quackademics have years invested in their thesis, they don't want their investments disturbed by new evidence.
And Carl Sagan didn't have much positive to say about the second one
Well he was dead for 15 years before it was published, so maybe he hasn't had a chance.
completely devoid of any connection to real-world physics, mathematics, history, or even simple logic and basic causality?
That would depend on if you know how old the human race actually is instead of assuming you do.
