Scientists believe there is a saturation point in which it would be almost impossible for fauna to procreate and survive--human life is included of course. They have taken readings from samples that existed prior to the 1940's--readings from the present--and subjected different species to varying amounts of exposure to correlate these findings. We are very close to this saturation point right now at the present time.
Well, first was Thee Mile Island, then Chernobyl, the Fukushima so I guess its our turn on the trip around the world on the latest edition of "World-Wide Nukes"! What I loved was just after the Fukushima incident you had right-wing cretins like Lars Larson saying that America should be "brave enough" to wisely invest in nuclear energy. *Yeesh*
I happened to watch a couple of videos just last night about Chernobyl. A couple of them were rather long but *very* interesting.
Ronald Regan had nothing to do with the collapse of the USSR. The disaster cost the USSR > 18 B $ (1986 dollars) and (according to Gorbachev) broke the back of country.
I also think that the event hastened Glasnost and the collapse of the country. Undoubtedly the fact that the USSR Gov't delayed notifying the world and their own people caused untenable distrust in said Gov't.
The Chairman (or whatever) of the Ukraine allowed the May Day parade in Kiev to happen even though he knew there were dangerous radiation levels there. He committed suicide two years later.
There is a growing concern that when the current structure collapses it will release hugh plumes of highly radioactive dust as well as Uranium and Plutonium particles which could destroy much of Europe. Right now they need 1 - 3 B $ to built another sarcophagus. Come on Sheldon Adelson, use some of your 22 B$ to help out. Bill Gates will probably match it.
In the l980's, I lived in San Clemente, CA--- very close to San Onofre nuclear power plant, and my children attended Concordia school. That school is at the very South End of San Clemente, CA and very close to San Onofre Nuclear Power station, a few miles away.
I worried when they were at school, and if there had been a disaster, they said that they would bus the kids out, and that parents could not come to pick them up.
There are two roads out of San Clemente. The 5 Freeway South or North (which runs close to the Pacific Ocean) or Coast Highway. It would be difficult to evacuate everyone in San Clemente. The 5 freeway travels right next to San Onofre so it would be out of the question to go South. North is the only direction to evacuate. Pacific Coast Highway would be the same. Coast Highway ends at the border of San Clemente, and it travels thru Camp Pendleton Marine Base, but is used as an old road for bikers. Getting on a boat to evacuate could be done if a person were lucky enough to have boat at Dana Point Harbor which is a few miles up the coast from San Clemente.
When they say that everything is "all right" with what just happened, I don't believe them. I am wary.
I am currently living about 25 miles from San Onofre.
Three Mile Island was our (first) turn. It's in Pennsylvania.
You have to admit that Republican deregulation makes life more exciting. You never know what, when or where something is going to blow up.
