    Didn't realize that the cover was so aligned to north/south.

    Was wondering if you could calculate the latitude based on the reflection, but that depends upon the top being a proper circle arc, which is probably isn't.

    The Google maps sat is quite a bit higher res.

  2. Oooh, that's neat Chernobyl now is solar.

    NHK: Solar power plant completed at Chornobyl with Japan funds

    "...A large-scale solar power plant has been completed at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine with financial support from the Japanese government.

    The new facility is meant to ensure a stable power supply at the Chornobyl plant, which experienced one of the worst nuclear disasters in history in 1986...."

  3. No End in Sight: Chernobyl 40 Years Later

    A picture from 2005 of workers wearing respirators and plastic suits pause before drilling holes for support rods inside the sarcophagus that was built to encase Reactor Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the catastrophic disaster. Radiation levels were so high that workers needed to constantly monitor their dosimeters and were only allowed to stay inside for 15 minutes a day.

  4. @adfichter jetzt fertig. Hat leider im letzten Drittel einen laut mir recht amerikanischen Einschlag bekommen. Zu viel Drama, zu wenig Daten und Fakten.
    Aber seit #Chernobyl von #HBO ist mein Anspruch vermutlich zu hoch.

  5. After finishing #Chernobyl, I bought a Geiger counter, and I just wanted everyone to know that there are only normal background radiation levels here in #Hawaii. 😅

  6. @npr @u-s-news-npr
    A view on next-gen nuclear reactors from Idaho, proposed to meet rising demand with low carbon emissions.
    ☢️ the catch:
    ⚠️ security ( #ThreeMileIsland #sl1 #mayak #chernobyl #fukushima )
    ⚠️ radioactive waste management (unsolved safe storage for 10,000s of generations)

    The report doesn’t say how micro reactors would solve these?

    “Going small and local” as PR to a favorable public opinion on nuclear energy, stalling out for decades in the US.

  7. Visiting parents and was watching “The Pitt” with my mom. Dad wanted something with more bite. We watched two episodes of Chernobyl and will finish tomorrow.

    Very horrifying. But still enjoyable nonetheless. 🫣

  8. Dissecting Chernobyl 2019 episode 1

    This is why I'm going to speak about the Nuclear Power Plant of V. I. Lenin 2019 historical drama television miniseries called Chernobyl. But It'll be done differently. There'll be no description of how the screenplay was adapted, only the plot and script itself.
  9. #Kuuntelusuositus:

    En seurannut hirmu aktiivisesti uutisointia liittyen Tšernobylin onnettomuuden 40 v päivään, mutta paras vastaantullut kontsa oli BBC:n radiodokkari The last dance floor in #Chernobyl.

    Lähestyy asiaa discomusiikin ja pariskunnan kautta, jonka #häät pidettiin siellä ko. päivänä.

    #Dokkari pitää tiiviisti otteessan.

  10. On April 26 1986, Chernobyl nuclear reactor #4 exploded. 40 years later, the event is still one of the most distinctive events of its time. Here is a piece, I wrote on one of the medallions given to the "Liquidators" who helped clean up after the accident: coinofnote.com/1986-ukraine-ch

    While writing this post I discovered the #ChornobylNotChernobyl hashtag from which I learnt "Chornobyl (Чорнобиль) is the correct Ukrainian spelling and transliteration, which is increasingly adopted to reflect Ukrainian identity and decolonize place names. Chernobyl (Чернобыль) is the Russian spelling, which was standard internationally during the Soviet era and remains common in Western media."

  11. #News #Ukraine #Europe Volodymyr #Selenskyj just reported on d. #msc, that #Ruzzland 2 days ago, 1 day before Munich the #NewSafeConfinement, the new protective shell over the old #sarcophagus of the #Chernobyl nuclear power plant with a drone carrying 150 kg of explosives AND hit it hit!

    A Russian attack drone hit a shelter at the #Chornobyl #NuclearPowerPlant; the fire has been extinguished.

  13. Looks like US Supreme Court is going to revisit lawsuits around nuclear fuel mining and processing. These lawsuits which were successfully prosecuted by activists, signal the racism of the industry and its revival. Transcript available later.

    Genetic and ecological studies of animals in #Chernobyl and #Fukushima

    by Timothy A Mousseau, Anders P Møller

    2014 Sep-Oct

    "Recent advances in genetic and ecological studies of wild animal populations in Chernobyl and Fukushima have demonstrated significant genetic, physiological, developmental, and fitness effects stemming from exposure to #radioactive contaminants. The few genetic studies that have been conducted in Chernobyl generally show elevated rates of #GeneticDamage and #Mutation rates. All major taxonomic groups investigated (i.e., #birds, #bees, #butterflies, #grasshoppers, #dragonflies, #spiders, #mammals) displayed reduced population sizes in highly radioactive parts of the #ChernobylExclusionZone. In #Fukushima, population censuses of birds, butterflies, and #cicadas suggested that abundances were negatively impacted by exposure to radioactive contaminants, while other groups (e.g., dragonflies, grasshoppers, bees, spiders) showed no significant declines, at least during the first summer following the disaster.

    "Insufficient information exists for groups other than insects and birds to assess effects on life history at this time. The differences observed between Fukushima and Chernobyl may reflect the different times of exposure and the significance of multigenerational mutation accumulation in Chernobyl compared to Fukushima. There was considerable variation among taxa in their apparent sensitivity to radiation and this reflects in part life history, physiology, behavior, and evolutionary history. Interestingly, for birds, population declines in Chernobyl can be predicted by historical mitochondrial #DNA base-pair substitution rates that may reflect intrinsic #DNARepair ability."
