@Tyrfingr Here's a scary part of story: we know from various studies that if you are exposed to very hot nuclear waste for 10 seconds from 3 feet away, you will get a fatal dose of radiation. In the case of Fukushima plant, the debris thrown out of reactor #4's 'spent' fuel pool, plus the leaks from reactor #2, & the melting down of fuel in reactors 1-3 is sending variable concentrations of radiation about the plant grounds & water. Stand over bulldozed hot debris & cooked U could be fatally
@conradmillermd Jebus. I recall you mentioned something about that in another video regarding storage of spent fuel in the states, and potential risks of an accident with transportation of said materials. I heard that they decided to decomission the plant, and that they believed it would take 10 years. Boggles the mind of the amount of liquidators that will be used up in the process.
Thanks for the heads up there Doc. I hadn't read or heard anything about the bulldozers before. What's next one wonders.
