Fun fact! This is also how we know when certain asteroids smashed into the earth, because the impact deposits a layer of minerals and elements not found super common in the crust.
Also, sensing equipment that uses or detects radiation as part of its function has to be made of non-radioactive materials in order to not interfere. And since hairless apes started cracking atoms open, all steel is ever so slightly radioactive. They need special preparations to make steel without any isotopes present. This also means pre-1945 steel fetches a higher price in some instances.
That's the whole point of things like this.
Make it seem super scary, turn public opinion against anything nuclear.
Usually you see articles like this pop up whenever there are renewed discussions for nuclear power plants. Not sure if this is one of those, or just clickbait.
Okay this might sound like conspiracy theory bullshit.... But is there any major country preparing to construct nuclear power plants, or is there a looming decision about nuclear power over fossil fuels coming soon?
Because this is the exact kind of news article you see get pushed whenever someone starts making nuclear power seem like the viable option that it is.
Anything that makes it seem like it's seconds from ending all life on the planet as we know it.
Anything to demonize it.
Anything to turn public perception negative.
some suggest that herders need to start acquiring private land and operating like other businesses
Yes, why don't these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?
Let them eat cake.
Then you're camping!
Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.
Since I'm close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it's illegal again.
And if you live in an "at will" state, they can just fire you even if it's legal.
Sidenote: "at will" employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.
Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I'm realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.
Gotta be unpredictable, the nozzles can smell intent.
6 months probation??? What kind of world do we live in where such drastic punishments are forced upon such good people! Cruel and unusual!
Surely this poor man has suffered enough for trying to overthrow the government to install a fascist dictator!
From my understanding, it's how many processes it's running?,
Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I've just opened it.

I haven't really been keeping up with nuclear news, so that's actually a surprise to me that so many reactors are in-progress!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the narrative of some is "nuclear is evil" instead of "China is beating us on energy, BUILD MORE TO BEAT THEM!" But oil lobbies really do have their claws into every facet of government... Quadruple down on fossil fuels and smear campaigns, money machine go brrr.
