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.
They are stupid
E=mc². If its highly radioactive it wont last long
They don't understand the basics of nuclear
That's a very generalised form of a much more complicated relationship
Nuclear decay follows first order reaction kinetics
Thermal reactions also take place
Because energy release
Minuscule
But existent
Why is discord weird
When I enter <#398973785426100234> it crashes
