#irradiation — Public Fediverse posts

#Google and #Amazon are building #nuclear #fission #reactors to power data centers and calling it #sustainable

I know it's old news, but when I saw mention of this just now, a lot of #despair arose for me. The crash is ramping up and it's going to hurt when it comes. It already hurts now.

Researchers completed an #irradiation test of monolithic uranium-molybdenum fuel plates at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Research #NeutronSource. This supports work on conversion to #LowEnrichedUranium and the 2025 licence application: http://go.tum.de/470087

Irradiation can cause cancer
The first case of cancer resulting from irradiation was described in 1904. In 1944, it was noticed that doctors working with X-rays were 10 times more likely to die from leukemia compared to other doctors. In the survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, the first cases of leukemia were seen in 1948. As a rule, leukemia occurs after 8 years from exposure, while other types of tumors after 20, 30 or 40 years from exposure.

I am shocked and dismayed that #Amazon claims that #nuclearenergy is a #safe and #clean source of #greenenergy.

Even the shortest-lived #radioactivewaste remains dangerous for longer than recorded human history and every strategy I've ever read about to manage it begins to fail long before the waste is inert. Since when is trading #carbon for #irradiation a valid strategy?

I volunteer with our local library support group, so I occasionally see odd or interesting books. This one caught my eye… "A Tropical Rainforest"… pretty bland until I spotted "US #AtomicEnergy Commission" as the source?!

It turns out to be vol 2 of a 3 vol report on #experiments done in #PuertoRico during the late 1960s.

"A Study of #Irradiation and #Ecology at El Verde, Puerto Rico"

There is an actual "Fact Sheet" available on the web (4th image is an exerpt)!
