what was that crap about 'clean coal'?
what was the crap about the dangers of nuclear power? in fact
the safest mass power known....

oh don't worry...it's nothing to do with us....we're trying to clean
up the planet...
this is just the china to where we are exporting out manufacturing
to save the planet!

the filth will stay in china....


http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/11/21/china-mine-explosion.html
"At least 42 miners are dead and dozens still trapped underground
after a coal mine explosion in northern China early Saturday.

Rescuers have been trying to reach 66 people who are believed to be
half a kilometre inside the state-owned Xinxing mine, near Hegang City
in China's Heilongjiang province.

State-run media reports that at the time of the explosion an
evacuation was underway after a warning about gas levels in the shaft.

The blast was so powerful that it caused a nearby building to collapse
and could be heard by people in Hegang, 10 kilometres away."

groaniad

strange you missed out this bit

"The tests, done on animals within 24 hours of their leaving the
highest slopes, show that many farms still suffer serious problems.
Although the sheep excrete the caesium rapidly when they are moved to
lower pastures, the element has a half-life of 30 years."

and then there was aberfan and silicosis...

and you missed this carefully tucked in a the end
"Officially, fewer than 50 people have so far perished as a result of
Chernobyl, according to a study last year by the IAEA, the UN and the
WHO."

144 died at aberfan....and that was just one incident among many

I mean nuclear power is so fucking dangerous they still have not (how
many years?) been able to fix the purported leak at sellafield that lost
x tons of high grade shit into 'secondary' and only other containment (if
it wasn't stolen by private operators)

thats the fucking lake district fucked...

I'm not entirely sure I understand your argument.

Clean coal is not about the safety of the extraction process, but I'm
sure you really know that. The Chinese government's careless attitude
toward the safety of its citizens is pretty well known too.

Uranium mining's not without its own set of problems too.

I'm sure that the nuclear power plants in your part of the world are
operated safely, but some people in some parts of the world aren't as
conscientious as your folks have been.

If you demand absolute safety in the production and delivery of all the
products and services in your life, you'll be in for hard and short
existence.

How many people die on the roads and rails every year transporting the
produce that goes into your dinner salad?

It's a dangerous world.

clean coal has not been demonstrated as viable anywhere...
what has been suggested thus far indicates that if it ever
arrives it may cost 4-8 times the prices...
it is just another piece of misdirection by the filthy fossil fuel
industry and their client politicians

>Uranium mining's not without its own set of problems too.

true...but they are not on the same scale

>I'm sure that the nuclear power plants in your part of the world are

certainly...but it remains despite that the safety standards
and records of the nuclear industry are vastly superior
to the filthy fossil fuel industry...

that's because you're a fool...
meanwhile iodine is not relevant to cesium

approximately
iodine(131) has a short half life of 8 days
cesium is more like 30 years...

iodine is more than a 1400 times more active than cesium
thus for one day with iodine, the equivalent with cesium
would be 4 years

then start comparing similar figures for the filthy fossil industry

here are some examples
living near a nuclear plant...... .4 days
working as a coal miner 1100 days
being male rather than female 2800 days
motor vehicle accidents 180 days
married to a smoker 50 days
cigarettes...male....2300 days
radon in homes 35 days
firearms 11 days
eating peanut butte.....1 tbspn a day 1.1 days
30lbs overweight...900 days...
dam failures 1 day
homicide 90 days

these are american figures circa 1980....

I understand enough to know the 500m radius around the sarcophagus, (or
the forest hotspot 1.5km away) even now, 23 years later, is not a place
anyone should be pitching their tent, except you perhaps... that would be
OK, and I am sure you fully understand it enough to offer to prove how
safe it is by staying in the 500m radius for one month with no time
outside the 500m radius, and no radiation protection or medication, as
its as safe as you claim.

Chernobyl, 22 Years Later

sigh...
windscale is not primarily nuclear power...it is nuclear
bombs....
in the early days...and with governments involved...only
a dope would expect high standards of efficiency


in the usa there were tales of people throwing plutonium around
and to each other for fun...arsing about...
in russia there are hundreds of miles of contamination because
of the usual socialist 'couldn't care less'
dumping their waste as easily as the filthy fossil fuel industry
still dumps it to this day...

bomb manufacture require *much* more concentrated material

and as usual you accidentally left out
"UKAEA said there was no reason to think there was any "real loss" of
plutonium.

In a statement it said: "The material unaccounted for (MUF) figures
for 2003/04 were all within international standards of expected
measurement accuracies for closing a nuclear material balance at the
type of facility concerned." "
and much etc.

the safety limits in the nuclear industry are far higher that, even

as i've already told you....chernobyl was still producing electricity
many years after the meltdown....and people have been working
on the site ever since....
nagasaki and hiroshima have returned to functioning cities long
past....

i wouldn't trust you to do a coast or fell walk of without falling
