Oh Greenpeace vultures are at it again 🤦‍♂️ In reality:

"The recent fires in the Exclusion Zone near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Ukraine have not led to any hazardous increase of radioactive particles in the air"

@djsumdog

Also the radiotoxicity of the HLW goes down much faster than you could think because whatever activists are talking about, they'd always highlight the isotope with the longest half-time even if it's present at microscopic amounts.

Again, in reality only after 10 years the radiotoxicity of HLW is reduced to 30% of the original value! In 100 years it's 7% etc and it then goes asymptotically down to the background levels.

@djsumdog

So this is for example the whole amount of HLW produced by nuclear plants in Switzerland over the last few decades - it's just sitting there in these flasks and there's a guy walking around.

@djsumdog

So what we're really concerned about is high-level waste so stuff that was actually inside the reactor. Again, I have just recently discovered that 95% of that is recycled back into nuclear fuel (so called MOX).

This movie from La Hague reprocessing plant (France) goes into great detail on how it works youtube.com/watch?v=V0UJSlKIy8

So the remaining amounts are absolutely tiny, especially if you compare with other sources of energy.

@djsumdog

"Radioactive waste" is a very broad term and... often manipulated.

Being a fan of renewable energy I recently found out that mining of rare earth metals - used in manufacturing of solar panels, batteries and wind turbines - produces waste that radioactive due to thorium and radium content. Same goes for coal ash. And they are produced in millions of tons per month (!), while nuclear reactors worldwide produce maybe 10'000 tons per year in total.

@LukeAlmighty

Sorry forgot the link electricitymap.org/ you can hover over countries and see values but they don't appear on the screenshot unfortunately.

So right now Ukraine runs mostly on nuclear while Germany runs on a mix of nuclear, biomass, coal and solar - with the latter fading away as the day ends in Europe.

As we remember the 1986 Chernobyl tragedy, it's worth also reminding that ~400 other reactors worldwide continue operate uninterrupted for the last half century providing stable and clean electricity.

Three remaining Chernobyl reactors continued to operate safely to 2000.Even after Chernobyl closure Ukraine's energy sector continues to produce electricity at relatively low CO2 intensity thanks to plants - today it's 240 gCO2eq/kWh while Germany is at... 230.

Говорят, Путин в главной роли нынешнего театра абсурда. А я без греха думаю, что он просто ни одного мемеса актуального в сети не видел. На волне ящеров-конспирологов предположу: может быть злые половцы подменили ему DNS и режут всю годноту, только бы он Россию не поднял с колен? Двадцать лет ФСО задетектить дыру не могут... А может быть охрана тоже из половцев? 😁 @rf @russian_mastodon

So just getting the facts right: you're a hereditary leader of an anti-capitalist state and at age of 31 you need a stent operation due to obesity? :blobthinkingeyes:

"Hoping"? She's been "vice director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department"

Exposure to 2.8 ppm inhaled chlorine for 10 minutes results in "irreversible or other serious, long-lasting effects or impaired ability to escape"

0.1% is 1000 ppm

> vape 1% bleach to water ratio i'm still gonna kill shit

Yes, your lung tissue in the first place.

@FailurePersonified

> extremely dilute aerosol disinfectant

If the disinfectant is "extremely dilute" it does not kill any viruses or bacteria.

If the disinfectant has enough concentration to kill viruses and bacteria, it will kill them along with the host (you).

> if i can drink bleach water effectively

What you are talking about are water treatment tablets. Again, read the NOTE on the bottom - you are not drinking "bleach water", you drink chlorinatED water *after* chlorine has been gone

@FailurePersonified

> they mix bleach in their water

Can you imagine, also first-world countries use chlorine to purify water but they are very careful about the levels of residual chlorine to be absolutely nominal not to cause any harm *after* the water is chlorinated and sterile.

@FailurePersonified

Correct, he didn't say anything about drinking - he suggested injections and getting it "in the lungs". This is literally what he said:

"I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that"

Imagine Stalin sitting in a pot in hell after all the years he led his aggressive anti-clerical campaign, blew up Orthodox churches, executed priests... Not only the churches he blew up were rebuilt, but his portraits are now placed on icons along with other well-known Christian saints :)
