wild animals still have unacceptably high levels of radiation. (4)
ElGrandeBanana
Radiation is one of the most scary things I can imagine, next to microwaving yourself
MunchMaCoochi
And plot twist- microwave is a form of radiation. Just a longer wavelength than gamma and shorter than visual light (also radiation).
ElGrandeBanana
I know that.
shartfearer
What's the point of the "geiger counter" if it's limit is at a safe level of 3.6?
stormshare
The meter indicates only the working environment,its like taking a kelvin thermometer to the sun and saying"oh yeah it`s hot here"
FuzzyX
Dosimeters come in two varieties. Low radiation for everyday use & high radiation for disasters. Going to maximum is a big warning.
Insideanus
soviet safety standards were lacking to say the least
sadman13
They didn't need a measurement higher than that, and they knew when it hit 3.6 that it was over 3.6 and bad news.
sadman13
we have CO detectors that have similar function, they don't go over 250 because at 250 we are expected to vacate the area.
creatingusernamesgivesmeanxiety
That's just what I was thinking. "Here's a thermometer to make sure we don't overheat, but it can only read up to 98.6 degrees F."
ScootyPuffSr
It was probably there to measure small doses over long periods, eg. a woker's yearly maximum allowable dose, not signal evacuations.

fugacity
It only absorbs radiation like plants absorb solar radiation. It doesn't "break down irradiated particles". That would be nuclear physics.
MunchMaCoochi
But it can't harness that radiation for metabolism, it just takes the dose like every other creature- ie completely different from solar.
fugacity
Well, the mechanism isn't tied down and I haven't looked into the research, but from wiki.p., it looks promising that melanin = chlorophill.
MunchMaCoochi
And that's what i have a problem with. This is observation, not proof of mechanism. Correlation my friendly imgurian.
fugacity
In any case, you agree that there isn't mini particle accelerators or nuclear piles in the fungus, "breaking down irradiated particles". No?
MunchMaCoochi
Correct, the fungi are not doing nuclear physics. They might be using normal reactions using radioactive versions of normal stable isotopes

Rad suits do not protect the way people think. The suits simply allow you to keep contaminated materials off skin & out of eyes, lungs.
MunchMaCoochi
upvote for you, and completely correct. Short of covering yourself in hundreds of pounds of lead...
cheekyginger
So basically wearing a radiation suit is like using TP to pick up a hairball?
MunchMaCoochi
kindof? The idea is to prevent ingestion and prolonged contact (this is why fukushima workers showered- to remove potential particles)
mitanni
Then in K19 when they only have chemical suits and they say "They may as well give them raincoats!" the chemsuits would work just fine?
snarker
Yes. Any sealed suit would work.
mitanni
I assumed radsuits were basically full body versions of the aprons they give you when the dentist takes X-rays. Not so?
snarker
Not at all. The suits are designed just to keep dust and other contaminated materials away from skin, eyes, mouth etc.

Sure it can explode, but not a nuclear explosion. The u235/238 mix in a power plant is never capable of it.

I think that's where people seem to be getting hung up. Or, I could just be misreading some of these comments as "explosion" is impossible.

the effects could well have been as large, barring the physical explosion. It's just an awkward wording of a misunderstood fact.

Hiroshima's bomb was 13-18 kilotons. The US detonated a 15,000 kiloton device in 1954. 10x for Chernobyl is 130-180kt, and this was in 1986.

They are built in such a way that an exponentially growing chain reaction needed for a big explosion is impossible.

actually it's the fuel that isn't good enough and "eats" too many neutrons. That's why weapons-grade uranium exists, it has less "stuff".

The same way an airport can't fly like an airplane. They have similar names but they're different things.

On a more serious note, I believe they use different nuclear fuels. One for sudden energy release, the other for slow sustained output.

As a nuclear engineer, i call BS on #10, 9, 3 and 1. Divers in a pool during the meltdown? No. Sorry. (cont)

It is true that divers entered the containment pool below the reactor knowing they would die but I believe this was to check for damage.

Klingon00
Exactly, and a meltdown does not mean nuke explosion. The explosion was from steam buildup. Radiation was spread by the force of steam.

How bad it was at Chernobyl during the disaster is that some people climbed on roofs to get a better view. They never came back down.

However, I do not know whether they sent divers into the pool. But I know they did send troops inside the reactor immediately afterwards

You can't get a 200 kT TNT explosion from power-grade uranium in pretty much any amount. This... this is just retarded.
Supernerdtastic
I'm just curious about the pool, is there just not a pool to be jumping into or what?
LicensedAdHominem
If you want to get insta-cooked... Radiation tends to heat water up. That's why Chernobyl exploded, after all--steam blew up. 1/3
LicensedAdHominem
2/3 I presume it's about preventing more water reaching the exploded part, so there wouldn't be a secondary *steam* explosion.
MunchMaCoochi
cont- #9 was specific to workers clearing graphite (from the core) off the roof after the steam explosion, and 40 sec wasn't safe either...
MunchMaCoochi
cont- #3 no creature fungus or otherwise can 'harness' radioactive decay for metabolism. Radioactivity destroys indiscriminantly
DeathtyOneDeathtyTwoDeathtyThree
And with that you lost any credibility.

Ionizing radiation cascades through crystals, cells, biologicals or steel structures. They cause damage. Some can be repaired. Why the loss?
