And that's pretty much it. Talked about it for 4 minutes.

oooh....4min ...... :mrgreen:

........up next....sports and your lottery numbers....

stay on top of it bro... :rtft:

lol, no there was other news after that. Sports is at the end.
But the reporters were wanting to know what's really going on. They were asking the people at the plant, but they had no answers for them.
The asked, should the people of Bryon Illinois be worried? And they said no.
They were talking to residence of that town, and they said they weren't worried.

Well Dom keep us posted. If you grow a second dick from the Fallout I am sure there are a few lurkers on here who would be interested in seeing a few pictures... :lol:

You know that old internet saying 'Pics or it didn't happen!'

Yeah, I'm sure everything has blown over by now.

I've been wanting to invest in those Nuke pills. Incidences like this would be pretty good to have them.

Radiation is good for you. Go back to sleep!

Alright, I have a lot of experience with nuclear energy because I actually used to be a nuclear worker. I am very familiar with the Byron and even took a tour of the plant. ( I looked into getting a job there later in life because my hometown is Rockford IL, which is between Byron and Chicago).

A couple quick facts. The steam that was released was not straight from the reactor. There is primary water that actually touches the fuel. That primary water then heats up a secondary water system through heat transfer of tubular metal. The secondary steam is heated to steam which is used to for turbines to generate electricity. When ever the reactor gets shut down, you will still have steam with pressure in the secondary system, releasing the steam allows operators to cool down the primary by allowing continuous heat transfer out of the reactor. Any kind of primary water is never released; reactor waste water is cooled down and pumped into tanks for later use. They tend to reuse the water to limit waste and costs constantly chemically retreating water.

I will agree there are no levels of radiation good for you. Radiation in all forms causes the ionization (splitting up) of H2O (remember, we are mostly water after all) into which we called free radicals. Free radicals are usually just bits and parts of H2O that may not in itself cause greatly adverse reactions, but they hinder good reactions.

Tritium is a very miniscule amount of radiation, although I agree we should always limit exposure. There are many different scales in which when can measure radiation and contamination, if you really want, I can break it down in another post or just private message me.

The amount that was released in the air is equivalent to maybe an hour outside on a cloudy day. Honestly, if you want to get defensive against radiation and protect your bodies, check your granite tabletops, test your basements if you have them (I wouldn't recommend sleeping in most basements), don't actively tan on purpose, and try not to lick the microwave while it is cooking. Releases like this happen all of the time and are not the end of the world. If you guys have any questions about nuclear energy, PM me. I won't talk about specific engineering technology because all plants have different designs, but share the same principles of engineering. I can explain the basics and what the different types of radiation truly means.

Every form of electrical generation has some sort of radiation or interactions that will produce less than nominal results for the body.
