i like the helmets

So did lagbear leave yet?

Radiation is leaking, it's all over the news, are you that retarded? Oh yea it's Goshin we're talking about here... :rolleyes:

by triple standards

oh ya totes radiation

someone said i believe, 20x the normal amount?

50x the normal amount is what you get on an airplane?

why are you freaking out again? Oh, because you're a **** **** and are part of the reason american energy is in such a ****ty state?

Go protest nuclear energy some more, you Luddite ******

radiation hormesis
look it up

d

I'm sure the people in the hospital for radiation poisoning are undergoing radiation hormesis, you're so stupid it's funny

The difference is that radiation detection equipment is so insanely sensitive that back when Chernobyl did its thing everybody around the world knew it immediately even as the Russian government tried to hide it.

You can't hide something like that the way you can an oil leak at the bottom of the ocean.

I completely understand; that post walking_man provided was far more articulate and easy to understand than my own posts on the topic. It gives an answer to almost every concern I've seen in this thread in a very clear, concise manner which is great.

If my posts came off as dismissive or stand-offish I apologize, that was in no way my intention. The concerns people have regarding the situation are all very valid, my goal in the thread was to just give a bit of info/perspective and possibly ease people's minds. I'm not trying to pull an LGBR and downplay everything that has happened. This is a very, very serious situation but it's not Chernobyl 2.0 and it's disingenuous of the media to portray it as such.

why dont we just nuke the reactor to stop it from exploding?

Don't change the subject of your stupidity :lol:

How old were you anyway when all that happened? 8?

Hindustan Times?

Whats wrong with Hindustan? :o

Good point. I still think the resultant financial distress will be the most significant problem.

Nikkei down almost 7%

But you'll have to excuse me if I don't believe what I'm told.

Nixon: "I'm not a crook"
Bush sr.: "No New Taxes"
Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
Bush Jr.: "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

It's just like flying in an airplane triple! You're just mis-informed :)

except they weren't in an airplane, and the radiation was caused by a nuclear reactor that had a partial meltdown!

see when you say it like that it doesn't sound so safe

^ crazy ass video

you forgot to post more of the article

"There was no indication that any of the military personnel had experienced ill effects from the exposure. (Everyone is exposed to a small amount of natural background radiation.)"

Also we know minor amounts of radiation are present in the area from when excess steam was vented purposefully.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. CARRY ON.

blarG!!

really?

I blame the percocets

I guess this is part of "the normal venting process".

like I said, nuclear reactors explode ALL THE TIME. This is perfectly normal.

That's the mixed-oxide (MOX) fueled reactor too. No worries.

Why are people trying to downplay this ****

Its a ****ing nightmare

Probably will end up being worse than the tsunami/quake itself

Well evacuate the west coast before it's to late..

Nope that's from the explosion at the #3 reactor that was forseen and announced would likely occur before it actually happened. The containment vessel was not breached.

Obviously there are dangers whenever problems happen at a nuclear reactor but the mass hysteria some of you guys have is a little bizarre.

here's a crazy idea, but again I'm probably just misinformed since I'm no nuclear physicist.

Build a reactor that won't explode. At all.

Seems like everything is under control.

Is The Sun a legitimate news source? Seems a little sensationalist.

Obviously. The explosion happened at the building.

The exact same thing already happened at the other site and this was the result:

Yes, the buildings are surrounded with sheet metal.

Safety mesure?

People just want live in their precious worry free bubbles in life and not face the harsh facts of reality.

One post up, broski. Not a safety measure, but an anticipated explosion due to hydrogen buildup. Containment vessels not breached. If they were every radiation measuring device in the world would be screaming right now.
