Typhoon Hagibis swept away Fukushima nuclear decontamination waste bags into river

a reply to: Bluntone22

Yes, but All that PLASTIC! And those leaves!

(And if you think it's 'decontaminated' I wont try to stop you - it's kind'a the point of the thread but doesn't seem anyone's got it yet)...

That - and they're going to report on 'decontaminated' refuse, but not what Ol'Fuku is up to since more flooding, etc...

Damn, and I thought this was still ATS.

peace

Just joking around, but i bet neither one of us would like to drink water, that has been run through one of em baggies,

On that I agree.

We have produced some bright people over the years in Mathematics and mechanical engineering and punched well anove our weight but those days seem to be slowing down now from 100 years or so ago

I have worked construction with guys who were fluent in 8 languages and some who had masters degrees even a lawyer was on the tools on one site i was working on . There answers to why they were not working as a translator at the U.N for crazy money was that he liked the quiet life , my version of good Will Hunting , I actually came across a Mrs Phage one day in a top hotel in Scotland she was working room service collecting glasses and she had been a head of ST Peters burg science division , But collecting glasses paid way way better and was less stressful



This world never ceases to amaze me

It's still ATS...
Conspiracy theories with no actual proof.
Think of this as a blurry picture of Bigfoot.

Radiation is the boogeyman.

The Brain Drain took our best and brightest to the US, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand but mainly to the US were they were paid wages consummate to there ability's unlike here were our industry when we still had one was unwilling to pay them the going rate.

That affected the quality of our teachers and tutors from school to university and was followed by the double blow of the Tory party removing subsidization from struggling company's allowing them to fall to market pressure and with the sell off of our national assets energy prices, transport costs and quite a few other factors meant that production in our nation became unsustainable and our company's moved east.

None of this hit the .01 percent though as they own everything and never liked paying there due tax in this nation so it suited them to have there company's in other country's were they paid less tax as long as they could continue to get away with laundering there money almost tax free through the city of London.

Meanwhile our nation has been spiralling but there is only so far down you can go before the bottom drop's out, the Tory's are at that point with there cut's to our people, zero hours contracts and plan to abolish a whole raft of employment right's under the excuse that this will somehow make our economy more dynamic - for whom one has to ask.

There removal of benefit's has already crashed our high street's as most people were living hand to mouth even with job's even before the Austerity and now we have food bank's giving away food that would otherwise have been thrown away by the super markets and our people being humiliated by a group of self entitled public school boy's that have never known a day of poverty in there lives.

Sorry I dislike the Tory's as you can see, but you know actually John Major was more left wing and more for the people than that Tony Blurt guy of NEW labour ever was, he was nothing but a closet Tory while Major whom WAS a conservative prime minister had grown up on a council estate and known what having nothing in the cupboard was like so despite being the leader of the Tory's at the time he was a Good man, it's a sad turn of event's when a preceding Conservative prime minister was more left wing than a supposed Labour Prime Minister.

The problem we have now is we are now stuck between ultra right conservative economic ideology vs ultra left socialist labour ideology and the middle ground is a desert, either way we are doomed unless JM ousts JC as labours internal factions move there weight behind him, not that I dislike Corbyn but he will be a weak leader and MacDonald will actually be the better of the two to run this country if we do get labour into power, either way I could not stand another period of Tory debauchery while our people suffer under there cruel reign.


But all that is off thread, the Japanese have some of the finest engineer's in the world - the Scot's fathered there railway's and they have not looked back since and they learned how to build there ships from us as well.

They could solve this problem if they wanted to so to my mind the problem is lack of political will rather than technical expertise, lack of money perhaps as well.

It would be interesting to see who has bank accounts in places like Jersey and the British virgin islands and others it might pay of the national debt quickly , but they would start a war if that happened !

i saw a piece about this plant lately that it is spewing out 560-580 ? rads per hour and the lifetime dose for a Astro not is 1 ,Those Germans sure did great with concrete back in the 40s with 15 foot reinforced concrete on the sub pens , time to give them the job , Them and the Japanese seem to have a way with things mechanical .

I was just mulling this over coffee with a friend today , we are devolving rapidly , 50 years ago a kid called Norman or Jack would have solved this with a slide rule in his garden shed with 0 funds

en.wikipedia.org...

And they used to call us Great Britain

best i got is freezing it

Bring in the Russians. They managed to contain Chernobyl, and that concrete tomb has held up for 30 years despite it being engineered & constructed pretty much on the fly.

Meanwhile, here in the Motor City, we seemingly can't construct a road that lasts longer than about 5 years.

a reply to: AndyFromMichigan

That thing has been spewing up radiation for 8 years and we have not got a fix for it ?? with all the brains and super-computers at our disposal it still chugging away .

Small farms in my area just got the all clear to sell wild life to the public from Chernobyl , the man from .H.M.GOV would turn up and pay top dollar for everything no questions asked .

I really wonder at those cattle mutilations in America , are they to check the meat !

So, if you find a bag full of interesting stuff in California next spring, do not open it, do not pick up things on the beach unless you have a geiger counter.

After I found that human head, I leave random bags on the beach alone.

Don't fear bodyless heads. Fear Headless bodies. You ain't seen shhs until you saw what ISIS been doing in ME.

Japs are so sad today, if they allied the Dragon. The Dragon would've send those stuff to space already and deal with it. They lost their chance 2 times. First is Ming Dynasty, 2nd is WW2. Technically under Japanese car Manufacturer, Japan should seriously be asking for help right now especially with the Chinese with engineering. We all know US ain't helping # with Area51 hidden tech and especially when US service men got radiation cancer the first time Fukushima blown up. RIP. US military is not helping the world at all. They can't clean up Iraq, they can't even clean up their own plant, and they can't even help Japan with Fukushima. Useless. Mind as well shoot yourself in the head in the army.

Yeah, an airplane ride gives you a decent dose of radioactivity ... though I doubt TSA would let me on with a Geiger counter to confirm the numbers.

I know ignorance about radioactivity is sometimes more dangerous than exposure... the truth is, as usual, somewhere in the middle.

Meh, maybe some of us will get superpowers... instead of cancers.
