Bateman Equation
Numsgil:
Yeah, Americans like to rip off foreign names/terms for their cities and totally mispronounce them. I can never get used to it.
Botsareus:
Now PY, thats all good... just make sure you know what you are doing, we dont want no chirnoble or anything...
(and I am not saying you can't do it, but If I ever go into the extreams I would of blown up an M5 rocket or two, but stayed away from nuclear reactors -just me)nuclear reactors = :evil:
Numsgil:
I think I'm close enough to Missura that if it went Chernoble I'd be amont the kids with tails :lol:
Or really bad radiation burns such that I die. Or just get cancer 20 years later. But the first sounds more fun.
PurpleYouko:
If this reactor melted down then I would be perfectly safe in my home 6 miles away.
There ain't enough explosive force in a research reactor to blow your nose.
We only run at a neutron flux of 10 MegaWatts and we are set up to generate neutrons, not heat. The reactor core coolant liquid never gets to a temperature above a warm bath. A man with a garden hose could supply enough coolant to stop this core going critical.
All we do here is to irradiate sources to provide hot isotopes for use in cancer drugs and stuff. Chances are that if you know anyone who has had chemo-therapy, we produced the radioactivity for it.
