Re: Chernobyl 25 Years Later
the half-life times vary from a few hours till thousands of years. But some isotopes concerned there consist of decay series, where 1 radio active isotope changes to another radio active. Bottom line: safety first in nuclear means for managers and politicians lets fiddle a bit. SO you don't do a reactor test in the middle of the night with unexperienced operators and managers. So you don't place a nuclear reactor at sea level protected by a 6 meter tsunami wall when you know you get 1 magnitude earth quake every 100 years. But people are greedy So they get shorter earth times  |

Re: Chernobyl 25 Years Later
On their show "The Long Way Around", in which they traveled from London to New York (through Europe and Asia) on motorcycles, Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman stopped at a UNICEF children's place in Kiev. They said even today children are being born with huge upswings in different types if cancer, mood disorders, other psychiatric disorders....they may never have a complete death toll from the aftermath of this government clusterfuck in our lifetime. What's always sad is seeing the unused amusement park in the Pripyat Marshes, something meant to bring such joy stuck in a no-man's land...sort of like Six Flags New Orleans after Katrina.
