Yeah....

i wouldn't say it was particularly reliable

australia has no radiation like dta

dat

IMO I take it as ignorance is bliss, I'd someone's aerosoled something radioactive I just don't want to know

Having a Geiger counter and knowing is crazy, just kill me ignorant

The LNT isnt valid for radiation

Look up Guarapari Beach

Naturally radioactive

Same with Ramsar, Iran

australia one of the worlds largest exporters of uranium yet one nuclear reactor

actually not powerplant

i should say reactor

Ok

@Salacious Swanky Cat yeah there is a lot of natural radiation but as sensationlists like to say 1000 times higher or 1000000 higher than normal natural dose. Even 1 million times normal natural dose is still not very dangerous compared to the lowest levels that have been linked to increased cancer rates (unless its over a long time), but 300msv an hour is a lot higher than just a million times higher than normal.

Also scared the poop out of me

Environmentalists have destroyed the nuclear industry in US

I have a plant near where I live in the US

tfw nuclear reactors are actually cleaner than coal fired plants

This was at the height of Trump hysteria, around late 2017. I haven't experienced the same sort of thing since.

It's been at .5 percent capacity for decades

@momoneymoproblems yes they are. Nuclear reactors even cause less radiation than coalpants

The suburb was Brunswick

yeah the thing is shit like fukushima and chernobyl are in the minds of people whenever you mention nuclear power plants

@Redneo Maybe. I can't remember the model off the top of my head, but I know that the LNT isn't valid

The environmentalists are trying to throttle the US energy industry.

@Salacious Swanky Cat what does LNT stand for in this context?

@Redneo Linear no Threshold model

ah

Assumes negative health impacts all the way to zero.

Makes no sense

The best case scenario in explaining why the greens hate nuclear is because they hear "nuclear waste" and don't realise 9/10 times this waste turns out to have a myriad of other usages, which is why it needs to be stored and not thrown away

Otherwise, they're certainly just Luddites

It can be recylced, but they prevented that too.

hilarious that everyone hates environmentalists just like cyclists

They're the worst and are anti-science

Nuclear is key to environmentalism

@BlueAndBlack well... using these ressources is illegal many places. regulations prohibit to treat that stuff sensibly

not to speak of their BS claims of "dangerous for millions of years"...

yeah no

Yes.
