    As we countdown the last few days of the year, please take a moment to consider how beautiful, rich and detailed the world is.

    In a video game this fence might well be pristine, or maybe rust and moss would just be drawn on the surface but out in the world, each patch of green moss is fully 3D and, if only we looked, filled with tiny insect, and even tinier, microbial life.

    On the other side of the park is a similar railing, but it has the remains of three or four layers of different colour paint, peeling and bubbling, and little moss, but much more lichen.

    Every exposed surface in the city has some measure of similar complexity, and this is without even entering the park, or digging into the ground.

    Life is wonderful, and we, you and me, being here to see it is a miracle, and as a total non-believer I use that word deliberately, if carefully.

    May your 2026 be filled with childlike wonder.

  11. Yesterday I had great fun giving a masterclass talk on caring for #metals at the #MuseumsAndHeritageShow in London: I tried giving people an idea of what the most common reasons for #corrosion are, and how we can best avoid those and keep our metallic friends happy.

    I like bringing props, so here are two beautiful sets of keys: the bundle on the left has been given a protective coating, and the one on the right hasn't. 🔑

  13. So, #Terrapower and other #HALEU energy projects are being touted as "carbon-free". But alas, a lot of energy is spent digging, milling, transporting and enriching #Uranium -- and there's still no place to permanently store #NuclearWaste.

    And #NewNuclear is far from CLEAN -- ask the residents of #PiketonOhio -- who are still dealing with #contamination from when the uranium enrichment plant was operating before!

    Radioactive cylinders abound at former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site

    by The Guardian

    August 7, 2024

    PIKETON, Ohio – "The site of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon is home to a significant number of radioactive cylinders, posing ongoing environmental and health risks. As of 2022, there are a total of 20,570 uranium hexafluoride (#UF6) cylinders at the site, including 1,879 low-enriched uranium (LEU) cylinders, 18,206 depleted uranium cylinders, and 385 empty cylinders.

    "These cylinders, which have been stored in the open for decades, are known to be among the highest sources of #radioactive contamination at the entire plant site. The U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE] has repeatedly reported the #hazardous conditions associated with these cylinder yards.

    Chemical Reaction and #Corrosion

    "UF6 is highly reactive with moisture, forming uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Both compounds are extremely corrosive and toxic. HF can lead to severe corrosion of the cylinder walls, potentially resulting in leaks and the release of hazardous materials. The environmental and health impacts of these compounds are severe; HF can cause respiratory issues, skin burns, and eye damage, while UO2F2 can lead to kidney damage and other serious health problems.

    Historical Accidents

    "The potential risks are not hypothetical. In 1978, a major incident occurred when a UF6 cylinder ruptured, releasing over 20,000 pounds of uranium hexafluoride into the atmosphere. Over the years, there have been dozens of such accidental releases, exacerbating the environmental and health risks associated with the site."
