U know i think america really loves this planet!!!! Why dont they blow it up so theres more room to tan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the helll why cant america just stop fighting and make peace so our world doesnt come to an end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUH??? how is asking the world for peace stating that im not prt of this country??? i was being sarcastic about the tanning thing! and its true! if suddenly all the ppl in war were to just say..."hey i miss my family....i want to go home!" "yeah! me too HEY GUYS!!! WERE DONE! IM GONNA GO LEARN HOW TO RIDE A BIKE!!!" YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the world would be a better place!!! but instead we dicide to continue to kill, shoot, and bomb!!! i wish it would all stop!! and fyi! i love this country!!!!
AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY ISRAEL İS A TERRORIST STATE.ISRAEL HAS THE ATOMIC BOMB AND IS A THREAT TO WORLD. ISRAEL HAS MADE PALESTINE GENOCIDE. PLESTINIAN TERRORIES OCCUPIED BY FORCE AND HAS.UNITED KINGDOM AND THE AMERICAS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.MUSLIMS WILL ASK YOU THE ACCOUNT.ATOMIC BOMB IS NOT JUST YOU!! I think of you.SHIT ISRAEL. (I'm not terrorist. my people.)
hmm I've heard that water slows the chainreaction down and is probably the only thing that slows it down. but I'm not the kind of guy who'll vote for these crazy experiments. ok we know nuclearbombs are powerful. hiroshima and nagasaki already gave us that information. and testing them out in water is no good excuse. who'll take care of the nuclear waste? what happens with an extreme toxic chemical that has half-time at about 450years and above when it lyes in the sea? think twice.
@jjgijgtrjitg what fish? everything is amplified through water. you shoot a gun off into water by a fish the sudden shock will kill em. this is an explosion, a BIG FUCKING THERMAL NUCLEAR RADIOACTIVE "EVERYTHING AROUND IT WILL FUCKING DIE" EXPLOSION.
@DRcaprice: Yeah, you're right. Everything for, perhaps, a couple of miles radius. Probably a tenth of the average year's haul for an ocean going tuna fishing ship. The radioactivity is activated sodium (from the sea salt) which dies off within a couple of months, and ten or so pounds of unburned plutonium and tamper, which quickly falls into the sediment. Not good, IMO, but not worthy of all caps, either.

LoL, ya, my calculations got there too. There should be more contenders or at least a spread of the load through a spectrum of fuels/ideas. When are the companys gonna offer us something we want, instead of insisting what we have and cant have. Even more absurd the opening of another coal power station(???) a new coal powerstation,pfft it should be a test facility for H2O as fuel, lol the return of the steam engine, without the massive carbon emissions.
Nuclear power should be looked upon favorably even by those that are anti-nuclear. The fact is: if we use nuclear power, we reduce the radioactivity of nuclear waste by as much as 90% and create as much electricity from 350 pounds as that of 15000 tons of petrol!!! Research it if you think I'm bullshitting you.
I agree. Nuclear Fission power is incredibly efficient, with hardly any pollutants created compared to fossil fuel power stations. Also, the two radioactively unstable isotopes created in a Fission reaction of enriched Uranium-235(Krypton-92 and Barium-141) can be handled, contained and stored, unlike carbon dioxide or sulphur monoxide. There ample Uranium, Plutonium and other fissile elements found in the Earth's crust.
lol course i do, but would you rather have a town full of solor panels and wind turbines or one nuclear power station, i'm sorry but nuclear,,, or the new fission power station being made will be the future. yea yea a few gamma rays wont kill you, considering there developing materials simmilar in a neutron star which gamma rays cannot escape from, we will be able to despose of waste in the next 50 years
there only about 20% efficient, they will never be the "future" unless they become around 60% efficient, and yes you need a hell of a lot of solor panels to power a city,we have two large solor panels on our house costing around 5000 pounds i think, there pretty expensive, considering after ten years it still would have been cheaper to take it directly from the grid.
definatly... solar isnt the way forward since it takes more energy to make a solar panel than its every likely to produce!(aslong as you dont mind waiting for decades with current technology). nuclear is the only viable way to meet the enormous energy requirement..
So water-fuel cell technology shouldnt be promoted ahead of nuclear? Hydrogen is the ultimate fuel its so good they use in space rockets and can be extracted from water. H.E.P turbine system to power the extraction process/plant. Rather seefiremen tackle one of them type of fires than a nuclear type not to mention the life-cycle effects. German Navy have harnesed water-fuel cell technology in their modern u-boat. Hydrogen isnt new just unpromoted the process would incurr little revenue
Any person who promotes green power is a sensible person, and i agree with you 100% that a hydrogen economy would be a smart move in the long run. but how do we manufacture hydrogen? the procedure of electrolysis requires a huge current,where does that electricity come from? this is why i would advocate nuclear power, the unfortunate stigma attached to it is only a result of it being abused (ie a bomb). when compared with coal fired power plants it is definatly the lesser of two evils.
i think its important for people to realise that all our power isnt going to come from one source, rather the harnessing of a range of sources; a HEP turbine is a good idea, but were talking about a massive amount of power for electrolysis here, and barely a handful of viable HEP sites in the UK.
Ya dead right so its about time our governments started funding development programmes which could develop the means necessary to make the process efficient and economically viable, current technology inhibits i know but from the moment the first atomic and hydrogen bombs were detonated it didnt take long for development in that area to hit our doorsteps,literally. We are still feeling the effects of windscale today a lot of families and farmers suffered, it was astutely swept under the carpet.
The area was renamed sellafield and in the last 50 years that area has had some very serious accidents btw Whats more and worse for me is the goverments passive and uninformative position. Not to mention the nuclear waste we regularly export to japan, which could be refined to weapons grade, a dont mean any disrespect deacs but i dont think you have weighed our options up very thoughtfully; thorpe plant leak, windscale vitrifacation plant and the recent demolition (sep,2007) of 4 cooling towers.
it goes without saying that any power we generate should not pose a threat to public health,and it may interest you to know that a coalfired plant produces 100times more radiation anually than a nuclear plant.
when you refer to windscale as an argument against nuclear, remember that it was built in haste to compete in the cold war; it was poorly designed and poorly maintained by technicians who didnt really understand the technology. today, the whole thing would easilly be avoided.
The thorpe plant leak posed no threat to the public but nevertheless was a result of some major negligance. i do agree that exporting waste to japan or anywhere else is foolish even if they are allied. what i am saying is if we look after this technology it will comfortably take care of our power needs for the foreseeable without destroying the atmosphere or killing 3million anually through carcinogen related illness.
Firstly, im sure no disrespect was meant. nobody holds all the answers and the future of our power production cannot be decided by one person.
i can tell you are somewhat anti nuclear, but what would happen if we took coal and gas plants out of the equation? renewables at our disposal eg. solar, wind/water turbine contribute a negligable amount of power at 2% of overall needs. currently, it is a fact that nuclear is the only way to viably made up the huge deficit.
For sure i hear your arguement especially with current common knowledge backed up by scientific reports, it is the ultimate ultimate and although i cannot agree more that research in nuclear science should proceed i do also think that it is a dangerous limitation, and a global risk if an alternative technology or fuel source isnt pursued or developed. Im sure it would inspire great confidence that would resonate universally much more positively with joy instead of fear possesing, can you agree?
ALso the public threat that windscale delivered wasnt and has proved not unwarranted. The name change to sellafield like some dodgy taxman dodging buisness, hasnt fooled me even if it has you i have seen the effects with my own eyes. i notice also that its built way up north away from london and oh yeah just a stone throw from the Lake District
absolute idiots in my opinion, but hey were all entitled to one right. I hope then that parents can be prepared to tell storys of a 1nce unique place.
i absoloutley agree. what we should be striving for is a clean, productive and most importantly safe method of generating our power, without relying on other governments. to that end i fully support research/investment into a hydrogen economy. i only advocate nuclear for short term production; a step away from fossil fuel burning (in the same way that burning gasoline for vehicles should only ever have been a stepping stone to superior technology) untill we can get hydrogen plants going.
also i appreciate that there may have been some foul play in the sellafield incident but this was government initiative and thus cannot be marked down against nuclear. the wool has not been pulled over my eyes, i just recognise nuclear as the realistic alternative. already we are feeling the pinch soaring energy bills.
in all probabillity these will continue to rise, eventually to the point of intolerence and where using simple ammenities cannot be justified. every year we hear of OAP's dying of cold because they cant affort energy bills. our industrial potential is being stifled because of energy shortage. the carbon footprint is massive. this is not acceptable. it is detrimental to our economy, health and the atmosphere if we continue down this road.
exactly. unfortunately its the big oil/fossil fuel corporations that are in control here. as long as there is still oil in the ground there is still business to do...
we are at a crossroads; we either embrace clean abundant energy and enter a new high tech age of achievement, or we can continue on the current path. i know what id choose.
Id like to think deacs hope that were on the verge, edge of a new, fantastic revolutionary invention and i hope when it arrives its of a more generous nature than were used to seeing, something everyone can benefit from not just a few. At this rate of demand the media will really hot up. The path we are being led on leads to greed and war, alternative methods and means tryed and tested must be pursued before greed kicks in, consumingly.
I wonder if it would make the entire surface of the ocean bulge upwards. That'd be pretty useful if you wanted to flood some coastal town with gigantic radioactive waves.
I really hope no country tries this because of my comment...that would really suck.

absolute idiots in my opinion, but hey were all entitled to one right. I hope then that parents can be prepared to tell storys of a 1nce unique place.

i absoloutley agree. what we should be striving for is a clean, productive and most importantly safe method of generating our power, without relying on other governments. to that end i fully support research/investment into a hydrogen economy. i only advocate nuclear for short term production; a step away from fossil fuel burning (in the same way that burning gasoline for vehicles should only ever have been a stepping stone to superior technology) untill we can get hydrogen plants going.

also i appreciate that there may have been some foul play in the sellafield incident but this was government initiative and thus cannot be marked down against nuclear. the wool has not been pulled over my eyes, i just recognise nuclear as the realistic alternative. already we are feeling the pinch soaring energy bills.

in all probabillity these will continue to rise, eventually to the point of intolerence and where using simple ammenities cannot be justified. every year we hear of OAP's dying of cold because they cant affort energy bills. our industrial potential is being stifled because of energy shortage. the carbon footprint is massive. this is not acceptable. it is detrimental to our economy, health and the atmosphere if we continue down this road.

For sure deacon u are dead right, its a monopoly
we are trapped within, all must play the game.
Im tired of bad news lets have some good news, where theres a will, theres a way. Somehow were excluded from actual vote...
Were on the right track lets hope actual opinion can transpire.
Peace

exactly. unfortunately its the big oil/fossil fuel corporations that are in control here. as long as there is still oil in the ground there is still business to do...
we are at a crossroads; we either embrace clean abundant energy and enter a new high tech age of achievement, or we can continue on the current path. i know what id choose.
Peace.

Id like to think deacs hope that were on the verge, edge of a new, fantastic revolutionary invention and i hope when it arrives its of a more generous nature than were used to seeing, something everyone can benefit from not just a few. At this rate of demand the media will really hot up. The path we are being led on leads to greed and war, alternative methods and means tryed and tested must be pursued before greed kicks in, consumingly.

what if they dropped an atomic bomb to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean and detonated it...that would be interesting
sciencectn 4 years ago
no kidding.....I wonder what the effect would be. it would be more subtle, but push a larger amount of water for sure.
StanleyKu 4 years ago
I wonder if it would make the entire surface of the ocean bulge upwards. That'd be pretty useful if you wanted to flood some coastal town with gigantic radioactive waves.
I really hope no country tries this because of my comment...that would really suck.

The deepest part is actually full of faults. since shock waves are so strong in liquids, you may set off a few small earthquakes.
