April 26th 1986 : Chernobyl disaster

[Johan]

Today is the 25th aniversary of the explosion of the Chernobyl disaster



RIP to all the people who died because of this catastrophy, civilians, militaries, victims or heroes who fought for the catastrophy not to be even worst.
And eternal shame over the people wich caused it.

In 2011, the Fukushima disaster one again spreads nuclear fear over the world.


So, what are you thoughts about nuclear plants ?

 

[busenbust]

yes indeed. RIP all those who lost their lives /

It is way too dangerous. It shouldn't have been invented.

Dont cheapen a thread about those fought and died to stop a disaster with a debate over the pros and cons of nuclear power.

Nuclear power will always be with us, so will the dangers.

People who are brave enough to sacrifice themselves are rare - Remember them today.

Good post. While nuclear power is not cheap, it is fairly safe and clean, and we need it.

Rememberance for those who died in this disaster is good.
But, unless we manage for this to never happen again, they died for nothing (except those who sacrifice themselves to prevent a bigger catastrophy).

I mean, for example, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, hundredss of thousands of inocent people died. But when they died, the world have seen how destructive nuclear weapons are. Since that day, no other nuclear weapon was used on battlefields. Without Hiroshgima and Nagasaki, the Cold War wouldn't have been "cold"...
Mankind learned that lesson. So I hope we will also learn the lesson of Chernobyl (and Fukushima ?)

I mean, I'm not an Anti-Nuclear. When it's used safely, it's great. But it is too dangerous for us to lower the security protocols just to save a few bucks. When, it comes to nuclear, security must be maximum. And for now, it is not. Some plants in Eastern Europe aren't safe at all. Japanese plants were supposed to be extremely safe. And still a disaster such as Fukushima is hapening

We can predict exactly what the tides will be doing in 100 years time. Build tidal generators (note that this is a good tactic for island nations such as Britainistan.

There was a Soviet helicopter pilot that, without concern for his own safety ,flew mission after mission directly over the Chernobyl reactor, as I watched on a documentary 1 or 2 years after the fact. I always wondered what happened to him but later, maybe 10 years later, I was very disappointed to learn that he had passed away at the Fred Hutchinson cancer center in Seattle where I grew up.

That Russian pilot got a huge Thank You! from me for his selflessness on his missions and especially when he passed. :bowdown:

His Name- Anatoly Grishchenko.

Seeing that name again has nearly brought me to tears.

If someone can translate, I would love to read what his "Heroes of the Russian Federation" document says:

Not sure why my link has the **** in it, if it isn't banned by Freeones, can a Mod fix it? P.M. me if you need the source of the original link as I will find it and bookmark it.

Britainistan? You mean the 51st State? That is what they are now calling it.

What we need is Fusion and not Fission!

Fusion is safer and produces 3 times the energy.

Too dangerous... All it takes is one mistake, lack of maintenance or whatever and hell breaks loose. People didn't learn from Chernobyl disaster and they won't learn from Fukushima either.
R.I.P all the people who died and still die today...

 

[PJpenny]

i am on the fence about this. while theyve always been dangerous, they can be resourceful if monited properly. you just always hope another Chernobyl doesnt happen if theres one in your area

 

[STDiva]

Was there a fire or somethin?

 

[grower_boy]

I'll vote for the second option, but I really wish that more time and money were spent researching how to harness solar power. All that money that gets pissed away in NASA could help us to become energy independent that way.

 

[STDiva]

NASA funding is not pissed away.

 

[grower_boy]

You don't think so?

 

[STDiva]

I personally think NASA deserves more funding.

 

[Danglyparts]

if the simpsons have taught us anything, is that if homer can run one, it's gotta be idiot proof....right?

I think The Simpsons is partly to blame for peoples fear of nuclear technology. They see idiots fucking up on a weekly basis and the entire town threatened because someone didn't press a red button. It's too bad.

 

[Danglyparts]

i like the one where the dog wakes up and pushes the button to not cause the nuclear meltdown :tongue: that's how nuclear power plants are actually regulated, right?

 

[Facetious]

So, what are you thoughts about nuclear plants ?

Thorium Reactor based power plants:thumbsup:
√ Done

Kudos to the good French engineers for managing such a successful and safe nuclear power infrastructure. :hatsoff:
