The link was there mostly for cladding of rods thats corroding.

Wont happen, there are much more nuclear plants set to be closed than created.

Happily the most important group is turning away from nuclear. Its investors. We all know that if big investors and countries will turn away from certain tech then it will simply and slowly (or hopefully as fast as possible) die. And more and more countries are shutting down plants instead of opening ones. They cost tons of money more than predicted and the benefit is negligable (see example of france). Thats according to newest research and statistics (see germany which went full ahead renewables, closing down atomic AND coal). Paying 750 billions, was supposed to cost 250 billions euro (atomic plant in france). Plus many many billions for fixing up and upkeep of existing ones. It just doesn't calculate. And unless we build a new one every week it won't help with green house effect. We all are aware that atomic plants dont get opened up with speed of mushrooms growing after rain. So no. Atomic is no lt future.

As wumpus said, we will never know about many soviet accidents. Im not sure ifnin today's russia or china such incidents... I think ifnthey could they try to hide it.

I dont mean dams, i mean getting energy from oceans

Hiding problems from sight doesnt solve them. It justs hides them. Its like a temporary patch, but the ground will be radiated for long time. What then? Another spot? Then again in another spot? So my and your grandchildren will basically have live to on radioactive waste/a ticking bomb? Thats not solution.
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
and what happens with concrete when the ground trembles...? it breaks. apart of that concrete is still damaged by radiation and such wholes and concrete needs to be redone after some years (there's already second one i chernobyl). and then after some years you have a lot of contaminated cement, which you need to cover again... and again... and again... it'll need to be redone even after both you and I die (assuming I don't get to my dream of changing all organs for new ones and living to 500 ;))
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
I know, there's a smiliar experiment in states. But you're providing wrong data, from wrong years and for insiginificant amounts of radiation, nothing compare to fallout from atomic accident.

The original statistical data for each set from 1 to 6 (GUS 2011; RAP 2005; AGP 1995; MRP 1995);

the accident was in 1986. and you wont find any data on it because russians who in reality ruled poland then didnt care.

Same here, got some stuff that is years and years old (jumpers and hoodies that i have since 15 years). Stopped flying too :) I think much more people are starting to think like that (especially young ones) so we have a chance :)

The solution is not atomic. the solution is smaller consumption. moving to slower travel (for sure?) with trains instead of cars (and that would reduce microplastics in sea cause its already proven tyres are biggest source of it). wear a tshirt for 6 years, not for 6 months. don't buy shitty stuff. dont buy stuff for buying stuff. in other words... stop being consumpionist. that's the solution. along with green power. its not about producing more and more energy, its about lowering our energy usage and stop being such a dickheads to our planet. stop taking planes for 2 freaking days of holidays or to save 3 hours you could spend on reading a book in train. take a slower, calmer life. that would reduce carbon.

“It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular ol' blue jeans." - this is the problem and solution is not getting new jeans every year, not building atomic power plants (or at least not until we're 100% sure we can do it safely).

Dont buy stuff to show off your status and high pay because you have small one. Go to therapist. Stop using SUV's or 4x4 cars IF you don't live in mountains or areas where having 4x4 actually matters.

What is killing us is complexes and empty lives that we try to avoid to not think about by buying ourselves more and more toys and shit.

max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
It's really easier to get rid of carbon than get rid of atomic waste. And i don't defend carbon, im for wind and solar as safer than two mentioned above. And you dont count deformations that came after. There's lots of it if you search for them. Carbon damage doesnt come close and you can get a nice filter. There's really no escape from radiation unless you shelter yourself with enough of lead and rocks. Maybe go live underground cause your standard carbon filter wont work on atomic fallout.

I was born before explosion in Czarnobyl, roughly 600km away from Czarnobyl (that's the original name).

It was 28th April 1986, early morning in Poland. The radiation monitoring station in Mikołajki, Mazury area (north-eastern region of Poland - which is much further north) showed that the radioactivity in the air was 550,000 times higher than the day before. The radioactive cloud from Chernobyl had travelled to Poland.

We all had to take iodine pills for long time. I guess if you never lived close to nuclear accident place you just can't understand it.

And if 550,000 times standard radiation doesn't speak to you then go and take deep breath in Chernobyl, and stay there for a bit. Wish you good luck and quick death cause cancer from damaged cells will come 100%.

They do not stand still on ground on place with major continental fault lines.

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/11/us/radioactive-soviet-sub...

did you say something about running safely boats... ahh, so for you dangerous amounts of radiation leaking into sea is not a major incident? or accident?

max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
The problem with that stuff is that it's not about IF another earthquake will happen in that area. It's a matter of WHEN that will happen... and it will :(
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
It's great idea to store atomic waste in place where we have major tectonic faults... and 3 tectonic plates edges... in a country with history of earthquakes... and most earthquakes on earth. So smart!

Every good hacker and every good programmer would realize that, but maybe not all scientists.

What happens with next strong earthquake and tsunami in that area? Will it flow together with that shit deeper inland? Scary to think - i need to visit Japan before it becomes ground 0/radioactive wasteland.

But it won't make your wife/husband have a kid with 1 leg and many other terrible deformations.
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
It's about manned missions. The weight of materials needed to protect them from radiation is just too much with current tech. Here you have the logic.
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
"Zero people died from the plant." Have you ever searched for czernobyl victims? I advice it, but only if you have strong nerves. Especially those poor kids...
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
No1 says we should go coal instead of atom. We should go GREEN and BLUE (water) all the way and as hard as we can. They're SAFE energy sources. And as many said. Burying nuclear waste in ground is not the solution. If something we should send it somewhere out of our planet ; )
max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
Here you go: https://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:32030458

and this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/cladding-ma...

and this: https://news.mit.edu/2013/better-cladding-for-nuclear-reacto... <-2013... and still most if not all plants use zircaloy, here how safe are your plants.

Once we have cladding that doesn't degrade making us to store (somewhere?) damaged rods along with all water and fuel i'll become fan of nuclear. For now it's just too dangerous. I bet if all that money would be spent on water, solar and hydro it'd be enough to cover our growing energy needs. Especially using energy from sea (gravitation you know) :)

Girls and guys and atomic energy fans, downvote as much as you want. It won't change reality. Current technology used for rods cladding degrades as time passes. Its not just accidents. If you think its just accidents that is the problem with atomic power then you didn't get into subject deep enough. Go and learn. Add eartquake and Tsunami's and yeah... you have another Fukushima or worse.

Have you ever asked yourself why we still don't use and wont use for a very long time nuclear in space missions? Well, that's one of the reasons. Radiation will "eat through" materials with time.

max002··on Tepco slow to respond to growing crisis at Fukushima plant
And think what will happen when theres another, stronger earthquake in area where those containers are... Ehh, people really lack imagination.
max002··on The internet is broken because it is free
I mean i dont know what you guys were taking yesterday, but i dont want it xD and you should stop smoking that shit, maybe you'll be able to find stuff on internet easily like most of people in net :)

Look, i wont be a dick, here's solution: Use js for webpages extension or write chrome extension and then some javascript that'll let you easily add spammy domains to ban list. Or autodetect certain words or keywords density and then block them. Set search results to 100, then use that js so on everysearch these spammy results are removed from your page.

Want to make it more efficient? Make a server where everyone can add this (u know, like public spam servers blacklists). Then we'll all use it and maybe some smart people will even write machine learning assisted stuff to autoprospose bullshit results. If you know seo you know most spammy site articles are done using spinners and synonyms. That can be detected.

And then we wont need to pay for free internet and risk people lives.

max002··on The internet is broken because it is free
So lets make internet paid, track everyone and control what and who posts on spammy blogs. For sure dictators would like that idea... Ohhh, wait, its already happening! Great China firewall, censorship and new restrictions on using VPN's in Russia. Brilliant idea. Im sure reporters and whistleblowers that do report aggainst oppresive goverments will love it! of course your idea supports so much the freedom and safety of speech.

Maybe ask Khashoggi? Ahh, shit his dead. Or maybe Navalny? Damn, he was sentenced for hard labour and prison because he was aggainst dictator and i believe you wont get visitation.

Or maybe ask reporters and politicians in Poland (my country)? Public tv is already nationalistic and racist propaganda tube and they used Pegasus on opposition during election. Im sure they will love your idea, everyone who says and write everything on the bill, yuppie! Seo spammers can use vpns so lets block them too, just like in mother Russia! Good old heavy hand rule and censorship! Or tell that to basic human and then especially woman rights defenders in Afghanistan, im sure they will appreciate your idea as well!

Lets control everyone because we have problem with seo spam, thats a brilliant solution!

And so selfless, ahhhh, I just miss the words to describe and glorify your outstanding attitude towards freedoms and privacy! I mean you rule, you should be the next president of US and make sure that everything everyone does on internet is in neat and of course fast access database!

Because we know all people and politicians are good and they wont abuse it! Such a humanism, im full of admiration.

But if you make it please let me know. So we can warn people to run and hide before theyre locked away after smearing campagins or simply killed because they speak the truth about dictators!

Because you cant find stuff because of seo spam, i mean... Just grow up and stop being egoist thinking just about your own comfort. Youre not alone on this planet and people have bigger issues than not being able to find old app on internet!

max002··on The internet is broken because it is free
Use "search" "term", use negative operators and learn other search operators that works. I don't have any problems finding stuff amd filtering the seo bullshit. Even really old stuff. Or use different search engine.

Its not internet's fault that you cannot find something, go and complain to google about their algorithms or even better, go work for them to improve it instead of complaining.

Btw. Pagerank doesnt work since ages and positioning in google is waaay harder than it was some time ago (i wont even say some years ago).

Here you go, someone just posted it in here: https://github.com/opsdisk/yagooglesearch

Maybe spend some of your free time to contribute to this free project given on free internet.

max002··on The internet is broken because it is free
Gods... Are people still drunk/high from yesterday? I come from times when there was no css and literally no ads, or at least they were rather exception than rule. As well in most places you do need to pay for access so stricte speaking its not really free :)

And people still do stuff for free. There was never times in out history you could literally amass so much knowledge for free. Are you disturbed by ads? Go amd download wikipedia mirror. Thats just being rude.

Some people some times spend a lot of time on providing. Its just just that the can drop a banner or two.

ppl who want everything for free, free, free are just lazy/unfair. Especially if they dont give back for free themselves. Think about time and effort others put to provide you with content.

Dont like it? Instead of doing google or other search engine go and buy yourself a library or two. And then spend hours looking up toc's. Ohh you say you cant afford it? Ups, then do strike and never google anything again.

I thought its really weird question lol i mean... Do you know the great invention of wheel? I mean its really smashing one and you can believe when i say it wasnt invented for lolz xD

P.s. Come on man/girl... We're still far away from 1st april :D
