 @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith I do regard human incompetence as one of our savings graces (we're too stupid and half arsed to be able to successfully wipe out all life), but fission is one situation where our income.pitence makes us *more* dangerous. I do sincerely believe we are too stupid as a species to be trusted with nuclear systems. If we can break something, we will. No matter how hard we try to make it idiot proof. 5 comments
 @Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith …and still somehow survived, despite receiving the equivalent radiation dosage to kill ten people. I heard about that. @Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith I don’t. The nuclear industry is among the safest in the world and kills the least number of people per unit of energy produced. It just happen to be in the unique position of having a lot of political baggage attached to it. @Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith Also, nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics is significantly less well understood by the general public compared to other fields of science. So, misinformation is rife and fears about radiation is frequently more deadly than radiation itself. @Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith For example, no one died from radiation at Fukushima, but the extensive evacuations caused major disruptions to the lives of thousands of people and caused about 1600 people to die, mainly from suicide. |

We should remember there was an incident where a person once stuck their head in a particle accelerator.....
