lol dud eoyu should just move to the good old state of Oklahoma you know the one you read about in school.We have no nuclear reactors.But our surrounding states do.Quote:

definatly but the radiation fumes still reside in our atmosphere today the world shouldnt rely on unstable power use denser radioactive materials but if they use Plutonium one meltdown could decimate a continent damn where the hells my periodic table of elements. people should use renewable sources for power things that wont kill us in the future
Things could've been a lot worse... well... how?
Anatoly Dyatlov, Sasha Yuvchenko and Boris Stolyarchuk all survived. All suffered horrible radiation sickness.
Dyatlov died in 1995 of a heart attack. He always claimed that it was not his fault.
Sasha Yuvchenko survived. He had 16 skin growth operations in the first year after the accident. He says that "I can drive a car, but I can't do any repairs. I can't touch oil or petrol. The blood won't congeal properly. There are other things, but you get used to them. You learn to live with them. You have to." (Speaking on Zero Hour: Disaster at Chernobyl) He currently lives in Moscow with his wife Natasha and their son Kyril.
More info about Boris Stolyarchuk can be found here:

Another mention goes to Nikolai Fomin. He was the boss of Chernobyl, but he wasn't in the power plant at the time. He was asleep in his home just outside Chernobyl. He was sentenced to 10 years hard labour for gross negligence, but was released soon after he had a mental breakdown. He is still alive, drifting in and out of madness.
O'll try and dig up some more stuff for tomorrow...
but hten life will be too easy then.You see we have to create a hole for ourselves because we are stupid.We wanna die.Quote:

things could have gotten worse the reactor could have been at full power and all 4 reacors could of went aswell as reactor 4
OG&E is a electric company here in oklahoma.Even though they use coal.they actually started using Windmill power also and people can actually have there house powered lik that.But seeing that conservatives htink that coal is a clean way to get electricity.I guess theya ren't gonna use windmills.
thats just totally horse crap windmills dont produce much power and coal isnt supposed to be used nowadays without special licenes to get it out of Quarries and old mines. Coal is a fossil fuel but only becomes bad in high quantities of flame exposure
How about a white-hot energy wave that would have annihilated all life within a 30 or so mile radius? Then a concussive shockwave to level just about every standing structure, including most trees, within 50 or so miles? Followed by a radioactive dust cloud that would have covered over a thousand square miles in an irradiated path of slow and painful death? Yes, things could have been much, much, worse.Quote:

Not to mention the difficulty in maintaining such equipment.Quote:

I'm betting on harnessing solar energy DIRECTLY from space, where it's never cloudy.
that was what could of happened if the reactor was on full power and if the core overheated alot more the reaction to the water and oxygen could of caused a massive reaction of a white hot radioactive gamma ray sweeping aross the area then the reasctor could of blown again and destroyed the other 3 aswell which would have easilly caused an explosion big enough to destroy everything within 30-80 mile radius.
Uranium is a vital ingrediant to a fission bomb the explosions can be so massive it can be catastropic easilly bad enough to wipe anything out.
Uranium atoms split easilly when unstable and when atoms split they explode in reaction
yep you basicly got it but there really isn't a high demand for electricity in oklahoma except for big towns and cities.There are towns in oklahoma who still get there light through laterns and oil.Quote:

Then we need to compress it then!!!!!!!!!!!!!Seriously I understand htat but they aren't gonna listen to reason because companies and gov. think aobut money and blah blah blah blah they want us dead.
thats true thats why Bush is still president because hes a moron and a power abuser with the power to blow any place he likes sky high
