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: https://coinofnote.com/1986-ukraine-chernobyl-liquidators-medal/
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."

The #Trump Administration exempts new #nuclear reactors from #environmental review
Geoff Brumfiel, February 2, 20263:09 PM ET
"The Trump Administration has created an exclusion for new experimental reactors being built at sites around the U.S. from a major environmental law. The law would have required them to disclose how their construction and operation might harm the environment, and it also typically required a written, public assessment of the possible consequences of a #NuclearAccident.
"The exclusion announcement comes just days after NPR revealed officials at the Department of Energy had secretly rewritten environmental, safety and security rules to make it easier for the reactors to be built.
"The Department of Energy announced the change Monday in a notice in the Federal Register. It said the department would begin excluding advanced nuclear reactors from the #NationalEnvironmentalPolicyAct. The act requires federal agencies to consider the environment when undertaking new projects and programs.
"The law also requires extensive reporting on how proposed programs might impact local ecosystems. That documentation, known as an #EnvironmentalImpactStatement, and a second lesser type of analysis, known as an #EnvironmentalAssessment, provide an opportunity for the public to review and comment on potential projects in their community."

There is a high priority nuclear target about 20 km away. Prevailing winds have Perth WA downwind of it frequently.
We don't get iodine tablets. Or anything really about the danger.
It's kids who need the iodine the most to reduce the amount of radioactive iodine isotopes that their growing bodies will incorporate if exposed.
My bet is that the expiry date on those tablets would, if there is nuclear fallout present, be better completely ignored.

Bloomberg article (way down at the bottom) talking about a "significant airborne release" of Cesium-137 somewhere in the world (related to the radioactive shoes and sneakers, no doubt)
"Elsewhere, however, the event was detected, if not immediately noted. Radionuclide monitoring stations more than a thousand kilometers away in Malaysia and in the remote Australian territory the Cocos Islands - part of a global network of sensors deployed by the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation - picked up traces of radiation, Indonesian officials would later be informed. A unit of the US Department of Energy would say in a preliminary assessment seen by Bloomberg News that detections by two different stations at that distance suggests “a significant airborne release” of Cesium-137.'"

> The passages below are excerpts from home interviews we conducted with approximately 250 TMI area residents over the years, from 1979 to 1988. Our purpose was to learn about the accident directly from the people living nearby. We were especially interested in understanding more about the unusual phenomena they had experienced.

NYT video about the Palomares nuclear accident over Spain in 1966.
A US h-bomber was refueling in mid-air over Southern Spain. Both exploded and four h-bombs fell onto a small Spanish beach town (2 into the Mediterranean). This film examines health consequences to the clean up crew.

'#NuclearWaste is a resource that can be utilised' - Is this a JOKE?Nobody's utilising it. Nobody knows what to do with it. Everybody's trying to BURY it.
The human and environmental costs of a #NuclearAccident by faulty design/human error/act of God, are unacceptable. The #EconomicCost of building/removal is unacceptable. The #timescale of #degradation is unacceptable.
Building something that dangerous without knowing how to deal with the known effects is madness.

Third largest #nuclearAccident in history
Lake Karachai
1949-1951 #radioactiveWaste was dumped into the Tetscha river system.
Unfortunately, radiation was too strong -mass radiation damage to workers and population- that from 1951 - 1953 everything was discharged into the lake. After that, containers were used.
And then in 1957, unfortunately, one of the containers exploded. 400 Peta Bq were spread over an area of about 20,000 km². -
