Nuclear power is a deeply controversial subject, and many scientists have disputed its benefits. Although nuclear power derived from fission can provide reliable, inexpensive electricity without greenhouse gases, it also produces highly radioactive waste that must be stored for thousands of years. Some...
I think of these probably-defunct devices as my own rough equivalent of nuclear waste, but instead of radioactive isotopes they may hold old personal data that I don’t want to see leak out. That’s “may” because unlike spent reactor fuel that we know has to be kept safe, these gadg...
This gives you an idea of how large the blast radius (and radioactive fallout) will be.And IF (and how badly) they will affect you.Watch this excellent video to see a simulation of such a blast:↓ Simulation Of A Nuclear Blast In A Major CityWhat Radiation Poisoning Does To Your Body...
