OT: C5 at 9 tonight, 'Inside Chernobyl'.
In case you hadn't see it mentioned, C5 at 9 tonight, 'Inside
Chernobyl with Ben Fogle'. "Channel 5 has commissioned a one-off, feature-length documentary that follows presenter Ben Fogle as he spends a week living inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, thirty-five years after the world’s worst nuclear accident." https://www.theknowledgeonline.com/the-knowledge-bulletin/post/2021/02/01/ben-fogle-explores-chernobyl-for-c5 "Anyone entering the newly-opened control room is limited to just five minutes for radiation safety reasons.", good to keep the tourists moving though quickly. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

They should have the external shield finished now. |

You do get easily confused. So a lot less than the 230,000 who died in a single dam burst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure It goes to show how dangerous green energy is. |

Really? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/e...clear-disaster Given the non-linear effect of radiation dosage it's always difficult to know which apart represents the actual final toll and will always be a hand-waving approximation. If a nuclear even like this occurs every 40 years then the number of annual premature deaths is ~ 1,500 (taking maximum in table) and so many times lower than from other forms of energy production: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/h...rgy-production It's also difficult to equate premature deaths withy actual deaths and perhaps man years lost would be more appropriate especially when comparing to events like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure That's probably equivalent to 1million premature deaths. |

They should have the external shield finished now. Those will have been in the seriously hot places though. I don't see any particular reason why the control room should have a "5 minute" limit given that it probably takes half an hour to get there from the outside of the structures. It will be interesting to see if they disclose their dose control criteria. (A mate of mine visited 30 years ago and IIRC the doses were not particularly high). |
