"This was the first space reactor test completed for fission power systems in
over 50 years and marked a turning point in NASA’s nuclear program."

Great

damn

sounds amazing

Weird how we all just stopped using Nuclear power and stopped funding it after the disaster

Just because of the public image

quite sad how much image matters

Yea

While in Fukushima no one died

Chernobyl was a bit worse

Because of the ignorance of the state and because of the firefighters not being prepared at all

They wore normal clothing

yikes

And had no respirators

Most were dead in less then a month

At one point they couldn’t be given morfine to relieve the pain, because their vains were essentially open

ouch

Their skin turned red first because of the burns and black after that

but we learn from our mistakes

Squishy stress ball

just need to be extra careful

Those men had to experience horrible things

yea i can't imagine the pain

I think they would’ve preferred a bullet

may they rest in peace

One of the firefighters wife actually went to visit him in the hospital till his death

And touched him and all. She was pregnant and her child died after 4 hours

nooo :(

thats terrible

Hm

The bodies of the firefighters were first put into wooden cascades then put into metal cascades which they welded after that they burried them into concrete

A democrat.

Thats how dangerous this shit was

wow

okay the fear around nuclear power definitely makes sense

Well

for back then

at least

The firefighters didn’t know what they were fighting

They had no gear
