If you were to shutdown all the nuclear reactors in the world, the world would basically stop. Instead of shutting them down, replace the use of U-235 and U-238 with the use of Thorium, which is more stable and in more abundant supply. I don't support the use of Nuclear Fission to power our world, but it will most likely be our replacement for fossil fuels until Nuclear Fusion power can be used with ease.
Pply. Many countries will be unable to feed their populations. It will take a long time to get back on our feet. I hope others intervene with new ideas or our world will end up forever changed. Stay out of the rain people. It is most concentrated their. And with all the radiation being dumped into the sea...well that will eventually evaporate back into the atmosphere along with everything that's been dumped in there. And anything being leaked into the air will gather with that and rain holds it.
@Gatraw You hit it dead on there. The population has to go down to where we can support ourselves without such dangerous technology. But I expect that this will cause all sorts of birth defects and infertility throughout the area after this is over. This will dramatically affect our worlds population when this is expected to be over. They say this has released half the radiation of churnobyl. Animals will be unedible from radiation for human consumtion. So there will be a huge gap in our food su
@423moore She is talking about how her garden is rather large at the beginning, then I cannot hear the remaining part due to the translation being too loud.
Maybe she is talking about the damage caused to her house due to the earthquake or tsunami.
Anyway, the conversation is about something completely different and much more specific than what is begin translated by RT.
When does the rebuilding start? Do you think Japan is suitable to live within this century. Why don't other governments take control of this? This is out of control of the Japanese.
take a look at charts that show the more nuclear power stations the world has made/used, the higher the levels of cancer worldwide, they run side by side. no nuclear is good, no 'man made'radiation is good. it should be banned, have we learned nothing from WWII or Chernobyl? obviously not cos we still use nuclear. fools.
Also today (3-21-11) the cesium and iodine plumes are way down but the Xe-133 cloud IS MASSIVE, and while xe-133 is not particularly harmful (and can be quite the opposite) it is used as a neutron absorber, and certainly by the quantity of the release indicates somewhere in one of those piles you have molten/melted mox and control rods, tinyurl(dot)com/4s4z6uz (Xe is at teh bottom of the page)
@rsilverlok I believe the sievert measurement factors in the type of radiation, so it is possible to compare N x man vs cs-127 etc. The biggest confusion with all these figures is whether it's single dose, hourly rate, yearly rate and as you say, if you ingest it, then it's more difficult to get rid of
@gilesey3 yeah it's a little like swallowing a flashlight ... did it shine on you before you swallowed it ? how long did it shine on you ? how big was it ?, was it turned 'on' ?, how fresh were the batteries?. Exposure and ingestion two different animals so gray and sievert: tinyurl(dot)com/4nkw4h8 , not that I am an expert but someone spent the time sorting it out.
Interestingly the fuel rods were replaced last year with the 'MOX' ( partial Plutonium, used as a place to dispose of 'surplus' weapons grade Pu) rods.
MOX rods should be used in reactors designed for them specifically because they need more control rods due to a lower thermal conductivity (they get hot faster).
It would be interesting to find out how well the plant was modified for MOX and if they necessary additional control rods were actually in the reactors.
@happyseralstudent012, But all of this pales in comparison with the 340 tons of depleted uranium that the United States used in weapons in the 1st Gulf War (1991). Depleted uranium has a half-life of 4.5 BILLION years. Much greater amounts of DU have subsequently been used by the United States against the people of Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and Iraq (again). As an American citizen, I am deeply ashamed of this.
@happyseralstudent012, Yes, the radioactive iodine-129 that we produce has a half-life of 15.7 million years. That means that half of that poisonous stuff will be around 15.7 million years from now, one fourth of it, 31.4 million years from now, etc. And we are telling our descendents for many million years, it is up to you to manage the cancer-producing poisons that we are manufacturing now. We have gone collectively insane. The ancient Greeks call this "hubris".
@FightTheElite, I find myself harboring just as much evil as the next person. It's doesn't work to divide us up into good guys and bad guys. As a species we are destroying ourselves, and believing in the "interdependent web of existence", I find myself being ashamed of us, our human species of which I am a part. As a practical matter, I would put all of irresponsible persons building and promoting the building of nuclear bombs and reactors behind bars, but I refuse to be angry at them.
Nuclear reactor technology is not advances enough to justify the risk. When you have critical systems such as cooling dependant on conventional electrical systems you have a bad system design. Very small, totally enclosed systems that are 1000s of time more efficient may be a future safe alternative energy supply; but right now the risk, health costs, and environmental cost are unacceptable. Greed is the key - small solar, wind systems take away people electric bills. The energy crisis fake.
@Rsilverlok thank you for that interesting link. I had assumed the plume was merely steam from cooling failures. Looking at that article I gained two important points. 1. Russia and the immediate areas should be infinitely more worried than the USA and 2. that the most of the trailing plume (violet colour) is the same radiation as emitted by a man.
@gilesey3 I don't know many men that are gamma , beta or alpha emitters, I certainly don't know any that are small enough to get into spinach, milk, bone marrow etc, and I have rarely seen any that can waft into the air over that large of an area ( a fifty cal will juice a guy but even then they don't take up much airspace) , also not too many people are cesium-137 emitters, and if they are they aren't doing it for long. Look up 'Rocky Flats' Colorado. or tinyurl(dot)com/4mxbbee
@robotdrawer supposedly they vented it from the reactor core, which implies a certain amount of control (highly spurious as to how much)...although the hydrogen is a by-product of the oxidation of the rods. The exposed to air rods strip the oxygen from the water vapor: "Plutonium metal is difficult to handle and store safely, because it is radioactive and "pyrophoric" meaning it oxidizes and can become very hot when exposed to air. It can ignite nearby flammable materials"
I dont get how the hydrogen accumulates in the outer chamber, they done explain that, and the graphic that they show does not explain that, they show 2 viens of water and exaust but how does that exaust get into the chamber and create great enough pressure to create an enourmous explosion
You forgot (along with the rest of the media) That a whole other Japanese nuclear plant burst into flames after the Tsunami, ONAFAWA... What happened to the news on this? No more footage? No evacuation area? Its been a week, since the last report on this, I know Fukushima is bad, but the fire at Onafawa was huge! No "Expert" has even mentioned it

@happyseralstudent012, I make no claims about the viability of alternative sources of energy. Maybe we must learn to get by on less energy. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Nuclear energy is suicidal not only for us, but is also a lethal assault on future generations. It will be very painful to ween ourselves off our reliance on nuclear energy, but that is preferable, both morally and practically, to suicide and murder.
jeepmann92 replied to me "but we depend on nuclear power for it powers about 15% of the U.S. electricity." True, but even disregarding alternative energy sources, I say suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Nuclear energy is suicidal not only for us, but is also a lethal assault on future generations. Yes, it will be very painful to ween ourselves off our reliance on nuclear energy, but that is preferable, both morally and practically, to suicide and murder.
@aniyah80 if you are worried about radioactive contamination then you best be more worried about the 3mile island and Chernobyl incidents and all the testing the USA did, the testing the French did in the pacific of nukes!. The jap one is not spewing out radioactive material, but radiation which isn't carried by air. Get a geiger counter if you're worried.
@gilesey3 "The jap... not spewing out radioactive material, but radiation which isn't carried by air..."
YOU SIR ARE INCORRECT: the plume; tinyurl(dot)com/4cg572u , less today but been blowing all week
hydrogen is only produced when the rods are oxidizing, so we have radioactive iodine (I-131 HL 8days, I-125 a gamma emitter HL 59 days) and from the break down of plutonium ; cesium 137 (HL 30years) stronium 90 (HL 28years), incidentally iodine is highly water soluble
For people extolling the "safety" of the radiation released in the environment, think about this: If it's so safe, why is Obama leaving America, and taking his family with him on a tour of South America. Yeah right. Radiation is safe for the sheeple, but not for the men and women at the top.
Brothers and sisters, citizens of the only known planetary bioshpere, unite,
and take back this blue-green globe from the corporate vampires and their zombie mad scientists and political goons. The global crisis is occurring in Japan, not Libya, and the UN should have authorized not the use of "all necessary force" against the latter, but of all necessary aid to help the former.
@jsmythib ....ooooorrrr, build giant robot suits, clean the environment aND GO KIcK THE ASSES OF ALL THE MONEY GRUBBING SCUM RESPONSIBLE, I mean it IS Japan after all, and calm and reserved or not they did invent anime...
Nov 29 state radiological experts surveyed the potting shed. They found aluminum pie pans, jars of acids, Pyrex cups, milk crates, and other materials strewn about, much of it contaminated with what subsequent official reports would call “excessive levels” of radioactive material, especially americium-241 and thorium-232. How high? A vegetable can, for example, registered at 50,000 counts per minute–about 1,000 times higher than normal levels of background radiation
Stupid people, just plain dumb comments on here, I see that about out of every page there are around 1-2 legitimate comments. Rest are just insane. Please if you see dumb comments just mark them as spam as you go by. Net neutrality, gotta love it. Oh well necessary evil. Easy to deal with, just use reason.
It's above the average but still bellow some places where there is people living. To analize this information it is necessary to know the natural level of background radiation of this particular place before the accident.
...release every crusie ship to evacte victums of this worsing catastrophy, all passengers currently aboard must disinbarked at the nearest port able to host; the government will get you home at first oppertunity, till then the country of landing shall host you with total love and compassion for your sacrafice, enjoy your love, as eye shall !
Costs shall be recouped in the class action lawsuit awarded at the HAUGE; if not sooner.
~ little time left, "star mountain" shall be cleaved into sea
@DIVERSITYRECESSION3 it turns into hydrogen be cause it is heating the fuel rods and causing it to react with the coating around the fuel beads which releases hydrogen and the explosion is the hydrogen
1.04 micro sieverts per hour is only about 30% higher than normal background radiation, but this is 120 km away from the reactors, and therefore still a bit scary
Question for the nuclear experts: Is it a bad sign if i go outside with my Geiger counter, and it instantly dissolves into some type of fondue-like substance right in my hand ?
any kiwis out there please get your government to send as much Manuka honey as possible to everybody in the quake zones..it will help them to survive..and anybody who can, please send out black cumin seeds..raw seeds are good and oil is better..
if u are in quake zones, or in the radiation zones your best bet would be pure raw honey and black cumin seed aka nigellan sativa aka habbatus Sauda..also Saffron if u can get it..these will supercharge your immune systems..
Fukushima is literally American-designed & made. General Electric designed the Fukushima Plant, although it's co-run by TEPCO. There were even American engineers from GE at the plant when the tsunami hit. I pray for Japan & the Japanese. It angers me when Americans, like Gottfried, 50Cent and Limbaugh making jokes at a time like this, & idiots like Ann Coulter saying "Radiation is good for you" should be ashamed of themselves. It makes me ashamed to be an American. God help us, we could be next
@HerculesRockefellerr I'm anti-nuclear power. Why would I want to design a new one? None should have been built in the first place. I already know people will come back with the propaganda that nuclear power is "clean energy" and the sun is powered by a nuclear-like reaction and omits radiation. The sun , by natural design, to be millions of miles away before that radiation hits our planet too. Radioactivity isn't "safe". Sufferers @ Hiroshima are still suffering with radiation sickness.
@HerculesRockefellerr and besides, the half-life of radioactivity lasts for years, leaving not only our generation but future ones to suffer. The body's intestines & thyroid system cannot properly eliminate this waste, & victims end up dying of intestinal, liver & thyroid cancers. People who continue to support nuclear power, instead of trying for environmentally friendly alternatives are just against their own (humanity's) best interest. Nuclear power just allows biz's to earn profits.
@happyseralstudent012 - Cs-137. which is one of the main radioactive released at Chernobyl (and is currently being released at Fukushima) has a half-life of 30.23 years & a half-life in biological organisms of 110 days, according to the U.S. military. By then, the damage is already done. It's gotten into the food chain & anything that feasts on this contaminated stuff becomes affected too. Thousands, if not millions, in the U.S. could possibly become sick from this.
@happyseralstudent012: From the EPA website (about iodine-131 and Iodine-129 which is also released into the environment) and I quote, "Wherever spent nuclear fuel is stored, the short-lived iodine-131 it contains will decay away quickly and completely. However, the long-lived iodine-129 will remain for millions of years. Keeping it from leaking into the environment, requires carefully designed, long-term safeguards."
the limits on that radiation detector he uses are very low... you cant get a real accurate reading of how much radiation there actually is just that there is an elevated level as compared to somewhere else.
real geiger counters are very expensive... .5 microsieverts is nothing really though
Operation of nuclear power plants is a crime against humanity mainly because the killer radioactive wastes produced at these sites are our legacy to the Earth and our descendents for tens of thousands of years. The facts about the duration of radioactive toxicity are available in basic physics and calculus books (half-life equations). The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon more generations than ever before. We ought to be deeply ashamed of leaving this disastrous legacy.
@illyrialady If you have a better idea than using coal or oil that will surely rise CO2 levels then say it. Otherwise use nuclear. Solar and geothermal are too small scale. If you want to use "Clean coal" then be my guest. Sure nuclear is dangerous with an average of .4 hours accidents per million man hours of use but if you have a better idea then be my guest.
Collect all the methane that comes out of the average U.S. citizen and use that methane to create electricity. That would be an incredible amount of verbal methane. You could make it law that all U.S. citizens must speak into a tube.
@SawLots How would implement that idea cost effectivley. Burning methane also produces CO2 on a large scale. Your solution is just shifting the cause of CO2 from coal and oil to humans. That is still contributing to climate change on a larger scale than nuclear is.
Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. CO2 is a trace gas comprising 0.039% of the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is not methane.
@SawLots Yes but Methane stays in the atmosphere 12 times longer than CO2, Also burining methane in the presence of oxygen produces Carbon monoxide. That intermediate oxadises into CO2. Methane is not carbon dioxide but if burnt in an atmosphere of Oxygen gas (Most likley done) will produce a carbon monoxide CO intermediate which will oxadize in to CO2:
CH4+O2-- > CO + H2 + H2O
Hydrogen: 2H2+O2 --> 2H2O
Carbon Monoxide: 2CO + O2 --> 2CO2
CH4 can turn in to CO2 after an intermediate step.
You have your info on solar and geothermal completely wrong.
If one needs to go nuclear, use a thorium reactor.
Smaller, safer, cheaper. They're not used because the money from the enrichement process is much smaller and the material used can't be weaponized. Current nuclear programs have a history back to world war 2 and the corporations along with the government they back aren't too insterested in a better alternative.
@illyrialady Whys that? Bitch about that, then when we use other plans to get energy you bitch about global warming. At least nuclear has no effect to global warming.
@illyrialady Yep, the same "sound science" brought to you by the over-educated legends in their own minds who are deeply convicted that they are talking monkeys and that the universe came into existence via a giant mustard fart. Tesla must be rolling in his grave.
@illyrialady ...let this shame be imedtidately forged into compassion action towards the greatly increased life debt homo sapien now owes the universe;
~let that payment begin to be payed now, let the currency be actions to mitigate this disater to every degree possilbe, let all that may save , save all those that must be saved; such is the meaning of life, survival , for all by all;
@docatomics Please put the hat back on. Sure nature punishes people. Right, you're right. Because nature would like to kill the only sentient species on its planet.
Because the universe would love to kill the sentient species of a planet one of billions that probably support life in the whole universe. Yes that is how it responds to threat, a sentient super conscious that is nature, responds with this to Japan.
Wow I am glad I avoided thinking like you people years ago. Incoherent psychobabble.
~come let us get back to something more real than your or my feelings ?
=let us grow differently, it is not natury that is at work here, it is homo sapiens inbalance; wisedome gone to the side for greed/need at the price of survival, this is not life laws, let us get it better next time, now is time to survive what is at hand and soon to come.
No, the people who supported the building of nuclear power plants should be ashamed, as well as the people who made a profit from them.
I refuse to be ashamed because I've always been against nuclear power and nuclear bombs. So have my parents, they've also organised demonstrations against it here in the Netherlands.
@illyrialady hmm not really, you need to look at the number of deaths in the nuclear industry.
Especially in America the number is extremely small. Comparing to alternatives, coal for instance 150,000 people die every year because of mining accidents. Yet nobody dares to question the safety of coal they all look at nuclear as the bad guy. look up 4th generation nuclear reactors which are much safer than the generation 2 reactor in fukushima, there is also much less nuclear waste generated.
Humanity deserves to die on this planet when the sun expands or when the magnetic field dies. I find our ignorance unforgivable, and our willingness to act on it abhorrent. Any species that is willing to throw away its future for temporary safety deserves to go extinct.
Everyone of those radiation "bursts" so far has been a 'criticality event', which means at LEAST one 'waste' pile and two reactors are undergoing uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions:
the plume:
tinyurl(dot)com/49l5uat
health risks, and plutonium releases at Rocky Flats:
/watch?v=bnrZJRRp0bc one of those reactors was failing and scheduled for shutdown this month...takes months to power one down. so, what are they trying to pull?
something tells me it is more about japan's refusal to pay interest on toxic derivatives they bought to the IMF.
I wouldnt go within 10-20 miles of the plant without a hazmat suit and I definately wouldnt want to live there for a long period of time even if I was a billionaire. Those exposed rods and feul were leaking 1+ sieverts per hour.. lethal doses in a short time period.
@ masterofmanythings, Geiger counters do not detect neutrons, plutonium well: "workers must avoid storing more than a few pounds in close proximity to prevent runaway fission, an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction. Such a reaction’s burst of energy, known as a "criticality event," would not become a nuclear explosion, but could release radiation very dangerous to nearby workers. Such an event can also result in uncontrolled releases of both plutonium and fission products to the environment. "
They stored the spent fuel rods above the reactors.
I think I noticed the top of the reactors blowing off, but I'm sure all the radioactive nastiness was safely contained in those explosions and poses absolutely no risk....according to the government.
4) Seawater from helicopters = extremely desperate move designed to help spin the disaster ( there is no stopping the process now , it is only a matter of trying to keep the things from blowing radioactive dust into the atmosphere)
6) A single gram of plutonium ground to powder and sprinkled in the air would kill every person in the L.A. basin, the corp that runs this flying gopher hole figures a radioactive ocean is less visible than a radioactive cloud , and hence is much more marketable
@Rsilverlok that's my fear, the ocean will be irradiated, if the ocean goes we go. They will end up cementing this place over, but nuclear fission will just seep down into the ground and into the ocean nearby. After viewing all the explosions at multiple reactors I have NO EFFFING clue how the Japanese officials can rate this anything but a 7. Worst nuclear disaster ever.
I'm predicting a drop in property value around fukushima. I think I'll settle down there now. A bit of radiation never hurt anyone. It's good for the heart or something, Fox news said.
I think - ionizing radiation - comes from particles - close by - at your feet - so if it gets permanently near you (hair, lungs, skin) - the consequences are bad - hence the masks
Another possible harm - they give potassium tablets - because if your body lacks potassium your body will absorb potassium-like radiative substances
The quake damaged the control rod drive systems and the reactor water recirculation pumps. The fuel pellets melted through the separator skirts several days ago when temperatures of 1200 C were reached in the core. They are now eating away down in what was the control rod drive and the lower drywell, heading for the earths mantle. I know you should here this drip drip over the next six months but I loves to ruin the ending.
@Emperor470 hehehe u really dont understand the situation.....the officials did shut it down but I dont know which reactor or all of their reactors....the biggest problem is the cooling systems, which prevents overheating of the reactors. Even if its turned off.....BUT there is still nuclear reaction that releases heat. With great knowledge results great stupidity Godspeed to non-sheeples
@finalgenius its just that it kind of confuses me because i see the tv news and they say different things that the internet news and im not a nuclear scientists so don't expect me to know exactly everything about nuclear energy thats why I was asking
Smoke was rising and there was no Explosion hmmm? Very interesting boy? So they've started running a giant EXTENSION CORD from the little PRICK EMPERORS HOUSE to the REACTORS you say??? Wow what a CONCEPT FOOL? I wouldn't believe this bunch of CRACKERS if they gave me all 200 of his creepy looking wifes. How about that WATER FROM THE SEA THEY'RE PUTTING INTO THESE REACTORS AND THEN RUNNING IN BACK OUT TO OUR FUCKING OCEAN cause last I looked we share with you CREEPS.
@BabylonsKing ...Thats how 90% of nuclear reactors work anyway... they took water from the ocean to cool it then pump it back out.. Not saying it's a good thing, but i live 5 mins from a nuke plant. That is how they work. So don't be a a racist little fuck.
@rickyp17 I can see how a retard such as your self might think that's how reactors work but fortunately they do not the coolant loops are closed they do not mix, retard.
1.04nGy/hr ??? well according to the targetmap website, 0-30 nGy/hr is green which i guess is acceptable ....why is this guy so scare of 1.04? or did i get the units mixed up?
it is time to expose the illuminati i think We the people dont fight eachother .... go out and crush yourselfs into a star ... and leave this universe through the center of this galaxy ....!
And if you wanna fight than we cut your dicks of and eat them! The japanies are also only victims of the fight even if i believe mother earth and father sun are going to help us ... i know we have technologie that can manipulate weather ... and the suckers are ... think for yourself and youll see
Where are all of these robots Japan was bragging about? Why can't they use Robots to move it hoses? Instead they are dumping water from about 300 feet creating a fog. When it rains it pours.

How does that exhausting hydrogen escape into the outer chamber and explode, that looks so stupid to me is it just me?
robotdrawer 11 months ago
@robotdrawer supposedly they vented it from the reactor core, which implies a certain amount of control (highly spurious as to how much)...although the hydrogen is a by-product of the oxidation of the rods. The exposed to air rods strip the oxygen from the water vapor: "Plutonium metal is difficult to handle and store safely, because it is radioactive and "pyrophoric" meaning it oxidizes and can become very hot when exposed to air. It can ignite nearby flammable materials"
Rsilverlok 11 months ago
I dont get how the hydrogen accumulates in the outer chamber, they done explain that, and the graphic that they show does not explain that, they show 2 viens of water and exaust but how does that exaust get into the chamber and create great enough pressure to create an enourmous explosion

@happyseralstudent012, I make no claims about the viability of alternative sources of energy. Maybe we must learn to get by on less energy. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Nuclear energy is suicidal not only for us, but is also a lethal assault on future generations. It will be very painful to ween ourselves off our reliance on nuclear energy, but that is preferable, both morally and practically, to suicide and murder.

YOU SIR ARE INCORRECT: the plume; tinyurl(dot)com/4cg572u , less today but been blowing all week
hydrogen is only produced when the rods are oxidizing, so we have radioactive iodine (I-131 HL 8days, I-125 a gamma emitter HL 59 days) and from the break down of plutonium ; cesium 137 (HL 30years) stronium 90 (HL 28years), incidentally iodine is highly water soluble

Nov 29 state radiological experts surveyed the potting shed. They found aluminum pie pans, jars of acids, Pyrex cups, milk crates, and other materials strewn about, much of it contaminated with what subsequent official reports would call “excessive levels” of radioactive material, especially americium-241 and thorium-232. How high? A vegetable can, for example, registered at 50,000 counts per minute–about 1,000 times higher than normal levels of background radiation

However, the long-lived iodine-129 will remain for millions of years. Keeping it from leaking into the environment, requires carefully designed, long-term safeguards."

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state. CO2 is a trace gas comprising 0.039% of the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is not methane.
SawLots 11 months ago
@SawLots Yes but Methane stays in the atmosphere 12 times longer than CO2, Also burining methane in the presence of oxygen produces Carbon monoxide. That intermediate oxadises into CO2. Methane is not carbon dioxide but if burnt in an atmosphere of Oxygen gas (Most likley done) will produce a carbon monoxide CO intermediate which will oxadize in to CO2:
CH4+O2-- > CO + H2 + H2O
Hydrogen: 2H2+O2 --> 2H2O
Carbon Monoxide: 2CO + O2 --> 2CO2
CH4 can turn in to CO2 after an intermediate step.

@ masterofmanythings, Geiger counters do not detect neutrons, plutonium well: "workers must avoid storing more than a few pounds in close proximity to prevent runaway fission, an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction. Such a reaction’s burst of energy, known as a "criticality event," would not become a nuclear explosion, but could release radiation very dangerous to nearby workers. Such an event can also result in uncontrolled releases of both plutonium and fission products to the environment. "
