Day 33 cont ☢️☢️☢️☢️

“If #PeterDutton (#Liberal) ☢️ were to form government, safety could come to the fore again because it would need to overturn the #FederalBan on #NuclearEnergy, implemented in 1999 by #JohnHoward (ex PM, Liberal) in a deal with #TheGreens.

Despite the dangers being dismissed by Labor☢️ (AUKUS) and the Coalition ☢️, Caldicott remains concerned about #NuclearWaste being improperly stored in #Australia and contaminating water supplies – or even a #Chernobyl-like #reactor meltdown.

“It’s not being discussed at all, which is amazing to me”, Caldicott says. “People are very ignorant.”” — #HelenCaldicott MD

Q Where is the hottest Nuclear waste in Australia right now? (hint 1950s Nuclear tests exploding #Plutonium above ground)

Facts about #TerahertzRadiation (1/2)

- By Terahertz Radiation we understand radio waves in the range from about 100 to 1000 THz.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause an #inflammatory reaction on the skin which in some cases can lead to skin #cancer.

- Excessive exposure to Terahertz Radiation can cause permanent eye damage and blindness. It happens frequently around #solar #eclipses.

- Terahertz Radiation is primarily created in nuclear #fusion reactors. Most of us live within 8 minutes of a Terahertz Radiation emitting reactor.

- The surface of such a Terahertz Radiation emitting #reactor is actually so hot that your whole body would burn up instantly if you were to touch it.

- Due to the immense danger it poses to humans and the environment, the #European Union and the state of #California have actually banned the sale of a, sadly, commonly deployed device emitting Terahertz Radiation.

- Pulsed Terahertz Radiation is a common cause of #headaches in humans and animals, and can in some causes even lead to grand mal #seizures.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause #wildfires

- The Ancient #Greek are said to have already used Terahertz Radiation to fight off their enemies.

Völlig bizarr offenbar plant die neue #Bundesregierung, die Anti #Windkraft BI #Günterstal & irgendwelche Atomkonzerne auf den Wiesen einen kleinen SMR #Atomreaktor zu bauen um Strom zu erzeugen und ein Niedertemperaturfernwärmenetz zu versorgen:

Das Projekt hat sogar schon eine Website: reaktorle.de

Die Stadtverwaltung erscheint machtlos und Teile der Stadtspitze freuen sich wohl auf blaustichige Selfies dank der Tscherenkow-Strahlung.

A report from Hanford about the comparison between the now decommissioned Hanford N reactor (with negative void coefficient) and the Chernobyl RBMK reactor (with positive void coefficient) to see the difference in design. The Hanford reactor uses the light water and graphite as moderator, while RBMK only uses graphite, which is why Hanford N achieved negative void coefficient stability.
