    Being from Montana, I've seen both the Berkley pit and the many thermal lakes of Yellowstone. I remember one story where a man was walking his dog near one of the thermal hot spots and the dog jumped in. The man then jumped in to save the animal. EDIT: Misremebered the story from 1981, the dog did not survive. Bith the man and the dog died and the dogs body was never recovered. Yellowstone is beautiful, but there are definitely a decent number of horror stories that could be told. Great content as always!!!

      but he is also highly inaccurate. fukushima wasnt more severe than this. fukushima had exellent breach containment protocols. after fukushima, there was only one death due to high radiation exposure. it was an inspector that was meant to inspect the radiation levels around the plant. 573 people did die indirectly due to evacuations. the estimates for chernobyl was 4000 people (died due to direct and high exposure to radiation), up to an estimate of 30,000, if they counted people with low levels of radiation exposure getting thyroid cancers. fukushima was hardly to be called a deadly nuclear disaster. the freaking evacuations caused 573x more deaths. see what i did there? i overdramatized the issue.
      put into contrast, the thousands of people that could die each year due to polluted air from brown coal ashes, the thousands of birds that die due to wind turbines (you think a bird expects to be suddenly bitch slapped by a huge propellor mid air?) or massive floodings and evacuations of wildlife and people needed to create hydro power plants?
      nuclear energy has still proven thus far to be far more safer than any other form of energy. because we know of its dangers, we handle it with extra care. and becuase of that extra care, deaths are low.

    In August of 2001, I went on a road trip and ended up at Yellowstone. I was right there on the walkways that encircled the prismatic spring. A warning about Colin Scotts fate was posted along the path. When in Yellowstone, if you see a sign that says "Stay on the path" you better heed the warning. It's a beautiful place to see, but it's no place to let kids loose running amok, either. (And I saw a few kids just wandering around while mom was busy with her friggin selfies.) The wind is also gusty up there. If you wear a hat, tie it down, or leave it in the RV! There must have been a dozen hats just floating around in the various pools or the shallow wet areas. If you lose your hat, scarf, phone, map, whatever.. ITS GONE! At one point I was away from other people, admiring the scenery and 2 kids come running up being obnoxiously loud. They stopped near me and began bragging and betting about how they could out-do one another by running through the wet area just off the raised path. About 12 feet away from the path was a cowboy hat sitting trapped in the scalding hot mud. I pointed it out to them. "Hey. Do you see that cowboy hat over there? The cowboy was still under it. He thought he could just walk through the mud, too. He sank right down and he just melted away! His hat and maybe some hair is all that's left of him. So you better just forget about it, and go back to your parents. Because if you fall off, you'll be sucked down by the mud and that'll be the end of your silly little bets." They both looked at me with horror and went back to their parents, walking carefully down the middle of the walkway. People who refuse to watch and keep their kids under control, should not go to places like this. Kids and dogs.. Why the heck would you bring a dog out there?! Fact: you dog couldn't care less about the park, and was probably suffering in the smell with his 100X stronger sense of smell.. Another little fact about the areas around the geothermal parts of the park.. It stinks. That sulfur smell is very strong. Especially when down wind of the active, bubbling parts.
    Admire the beauty.
    Enjoy the experience.
    Gain new knowledge and memories.
    Use your brain.
    Stay on the walkways!
    Keep your loose items secure!
    Keep control and guidance over your kids!
    Leave the friggin dog in the RV!

I would beg that our savy youtubers take it easy on my novice question. Are references available on the facts/research presented? I want him to be a critical consumer of information. While everything is presented with incredible professionalism, so is a lot of trash on UA-cam. If he is old enough to go on this journey for knowledge, he is old enough for me to start teaching him how to validate what he is consuming.

Some individuals do not care for the safety of people or the planet. If some delusional powerful person decides it's over, we are doomed.

    Oak Ridge, TN, here in the US was sort of the US's City-40 only we didn't create a toxic lake. We did create enough toxic waste there, though, especially in radioactive materials. Oak Ridge was just as locked-down as City-40 in Russia, too. Guards at the gates, citizens had to have passes to go anywhere but Oak Ridge, and silence was mandatory. You could not tell ANYONE what you did, not even your spouse, while you worked there. My late mother-in-law was the English teacher at the high school during WWII there. We found her citizen ID and other papers from that time but she refused to talk about it, the injunction on keeping silent ran so deep. At least if you refused to work there, you weren't put in a gulag but it also wasn't a wise idea to say "no", either, especially if you were an upper echelon scientist. The history of Oak Ridge is very interesting.
    Oh, and it isn't the "Handford" nuclear facility, it is "Hanford". I've been there and stood nose to nose with the deactivated Reactor-B where they created and enriched the plutonium for one of the bombs we dropped on Japan. The fuel cells are long gone and stored elsewhere onsite but they still don't let you get too close. It's a really cool place to visit but be prepared for the government to do a background check on you first (at least that was the procedure the last time I went).

    I wish to bring up a point. The use of the term "heavy metal" relates to nuclear metals, not metals like copper or iron. By the way the term was used, we might as well call all metals "heavy". As a redsmith/blacksmith I needed to share this distinction.

      Nope. Heavy metal as a term has been around since before we knew of nuclear materials. And yes, most metals (over 80%) are classified as heavy, but that doesn't mean that they aren't classified as such, scientifically.

Foreigners weren't recommended to drink tap water (ultimately not harmful, but the local flora gave the runs you wouldn't believe) and so we were buying bottled water, trying different brands. Of course we didn't buy the "water sommelier" stuff too seriously and were just goofing off about it, but one brand stood out with a rather peculiar, unpleasant taste. We decided to check the label to see what was going on and yeah, it was supposed to be drinking water, "naturally purified mountain spring water" or some such nonsense, with a pH of 10.4 and crazy amounts of fluoride salts. We didn't touch that stuff again. We joked about if we should take a bottle back home to see if it was radioactive too.
