      @wayamayafey Funny, because JP is not even religious. Or at least he appears to not believe in God in the way that this guy expects him to. And he's left-leaning, but these conservative types just misrepresent what it is he actually stands for. Turns out that fighting against the far left does not automatically mean you are right wing - but of course the masses find it hard to wrap their head around something unless it is a pure dichotomy.

I couldn't do anything etc its all est. You told nagisa takwtani stories you talked yo nagisa takatnai other then see what I've done discoveries and knowledge those people went to my profile executed their plan to " pads the bidtch " test" send in " y0 di3" they made me look bad say I won over them etc then yea deleted my profile because ei have all their ex gfs or something like that. it's qll est nagisa hacked my profile because she saw it was vulnerable. she had the support of p3ople they waited for thr que and account which was appernetly made I talked with ut nicely theyre " hockey2cool" I " talked with it nicely" see they'veframed me constantly when ive doccumented and uploaded 2verything anyways it doesn't matter theyre making sick deals for no reasons... it is est qnd nagisa takqtani qs always been that person trying to steal light she thinks that's how I have perfect eye balls ahhahaha to funny I am perfect jk but yea... they made me covky with stories etc theyre so bad it's ridiculous . deleted my profile ive just learned of this they just told me their plans and she made me def last night said my family will be woken up forever.

      Before the sensor was activated in early 2020, there was a lot of informatiin on the internet. Days after actuvated, the majority of this information disapeared.
      Various methods were quickly created, by the more brilliant people, to bypass these sensors.

      Summation:
      Problem is hygenic;
      Best cure, is prevention !
      Best prevention
      -- Wash your hands
      (Especially before sitting down for supper.)
      -- Cover your coughs & sneezes
      ( best is through filtering cloth,
      into your elbow. )
      -- Do not touch your face
      ( acne & cosmetic t-zone)
      -- avoid areas with large numbers of people & poor air circulation.
      (Subway train cars !)
      Further, to date:

  • @darthhodges
    @darthhodges 2 роки тому +4993

    So recent spikes in neutron detection are actually evidence that the real danger is declining. Previously water was leaking in and had the effect of increasing chain reactions as it slowed emitted neutrons. Reducing neutron detection outside but increasing heat generation in the fissile material. The new protective cover is preventing additional water from getting in and as the old water evaporates, reactions slow and more neutrons make it to the detectors instead of contributing to heat building chain reactions in the fissile material. The downside being that spending too much time right next to a detector (years) could cause health problems now that more neutrons make it to the detectors.

    • @CommandLineCowboy
      @CommandLineCowboy 2 роки тому +319

      The RBMK reactor uses enrichment so low that water acts more as a net neutron absorber than effective moderator. That's why it needed the graphite. In the accident boiling of water created voids (bubbles of steam) that weren't absorbing neutrons and caused local increases in fissions creating instability. So absence of water now is increasing fissions. All the U235, Pu239 and Pu240 remaining in the corium will occasionally spontaneously fission. So neutrons will be detected at Chernobyl 4 until the corium is all removed.

Even with a lead sheet on the floor of the helicopter and a protective suit he suffered from huge amounts of radiation poison. He ended up coming to America to receive treatment for the cancer and tumors ravaging his body. Nothing could save him, he died shortly after. So many brave people sacrificed their lives to contain the radiation. They knew full well they were going to die a painful death. May they rest in peace.

      Not really.
      Nuclear has a short lifespan according to cosmic scales.
      Earth used to be way more radioactive and rich in elements like Uranium. When stars die in supernova, they release a lot of nuclear material. That material begins the half life process the instant it is created.
      Now a cloud of radioactive material begins forming clumps of objects over eons in space. Those clumps eventually form planets.
      Our Earth has lost 98% of its initial Uranium due to half life’s. Life here on Earth evolved during a period of high nuclear activity. Earth had and still has natural fission reactors underground. The largest and most notable known one is in Russia. Enough nuclear material exists in a high pressure environment underground to generate natural fission. This process is partially responsible for Earth exiting a 300 million year deep freeze where 99.99% of water existed as ice on Earth.
      People sensationalize and fear monger nuclear because they struggle to understand it. We look at examples of moronic humans who mishandled nuclear as some indication of an unsafe phenomena and technology. When the truth is nuclear is not the boogeyman people make it out to be.
      We just need to stop being belligerent toddlers who believe we are above respecting nuclear. Treat it with the caution, dilligence and respect it deserves and you have an energy source that will carry humanity forward for thousand(s) of years, or until we unlock fusion.

    I'm a new subscriber. I love your videos. Keep up the hard work. I live in a very rural area of Rhode Island, called Wood River Junction. And back in 1964 the US had a nuclear incident at a nuclear waste disposal Co. Called United Nuclear Corp. And it was the First, Before the Three Mile Island, and before Chernobyl, incidents. The Wood River incident had the first civilian nuclear accident resulting in the death of an employee. It's a very interesting but sad piece of history of my area. I live 5 minutes from where it happened and in fact my neighbors father was the fire chief and was first on the scene when the call came out. The building was torn down and all debris moved out including soil. The property was chain linked off for years and as of 4 years ago the town acquired the land and it is now a management area with hiking trails and such. Again, thank your for all of your hard work of making these videos.

      @@Flarflenugen well it depends on whether you're talking about fuel in an operating reactor, or fuel in storage. In a reactor "critical" means that your power output is steady, the variables (control rods etc) are set such that on average each fission produces one subsequent fission, IE the fissions per time is constant. Supercritical means that each fission is producing more than just one fission and thus the fissions per time will grow geometrically. And that isn't always a bad thing, as long as you're doing it intentionally; since sometimes you need more power than the plant is presently outputting. Subcritical means the reaction is slowing down.

      Its literaly only being sensational.
      Exagurating or lieing to bring a point across isnt only dishonest, its also counter productive.

      1) I know it's not your problem but your gov is funding them, so we need your support to spread the message
      2) they own the media and use gaslighting to gain your support, there is alot of footage exposing them from unbiased sources just search Palestine on any social media even Joe rogan talked about it...
