  • I have never heard the word "hazards" pronounced as he does in this!!

  • The issue about fallout & Chernobyl is that they are 2 very different things. Experience with atomic tests, Hiroshima & Nagasaki is that fallout decays according to the following, if doserate at H+1 = R then at H + 7 it is R/7, at H + 49 it is R/100 and at H + 14 days it becomes R/1000. These are approximations. In the case of Chernobyl what was released was long half-life isotopes of relatively high purity. A-bomb products contain a lot of short-life isotopes due to induced radiation etc.

  • @iamnicolekidman It's a common misconception that the UK only uses the metric system especially in countries like the USA. In fact, we invented the imperial system and it was brought over to the US. We have gallons, pints, feet, inches and miles etc. and most people prefer to use imperial. Metic is a very current measurement which is being forced against the UK by the EU but most people resist it. In fact, our road signs are in miles, yards, feet and inches!!
