The eerie abandoned vehicles in Chernobyl's 'dead zone'

A huge armada of vehicles were used to clean-up the radioactive aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster 40 years ago. Many of them still lie rusting inside the exclusion zone.

It has a long way to go. I’m excited about the prospect but there’s a huge set of hills that the people working on it need to climb.

Molten salt reactors were trouble in the 1960s—and they remain trouble today

Molten salt nuclear reactors—based on a 1960s Oak Ridge National Lab experiment—are all the rage among some nuclear power enthusiasts. But is that experiment worthy of emulation? Perhaps not.

But thousands? lol.

We’ve come so far with wind, solar, and battery design that nuclear isn’t something we would ever need to depend upon full tilt.

I’m sure the radioactivity is good for you reply-guys didn’t get the vaccine because “that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

The one nuclear I would tolerate would be the molten salt reactors.

Not so much that it's safer, but that it can literally eat our current waste as fuel.

(apparently "radioactivity is good for you, there's no problem with radioactivity exposure" was one of them on one of the nukes-for-all-reply-guys last time 😂 )
