Or on your back in a pack.

I'd like to talk to someone that was in the Chernobyl area during the meltdown. There is a lot of people putting out info about how Chernobyl wasn't any worse than a stroll on a sunny day. I remember it much differently than that. Of course I had to go off the same kind of info we are getting...

Some media uses the news to make money. So they sensationalize things that really aren't too sensational. Other types of media use their voice for changing the country to fit the needs of their owners. Often they don't earn any money at all. They just acquire power for the owners. In other words...

What's important is how long you are exposed. When I was in the Army. I was the battery NBC NCO for 6 months. That stands for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical. In an actual war situation every unit has a machine that sniffs the air and warns of gas and of course they have gieger counters and...

That's good news. Something else I heard yesterday was about some small city. 17,000 people and half of them were gone. They were presumed drowned and next thing you know they find 9000 of them in another town they had evacuated to. That had to be a happy moment. Also shows how lost everyone is...

I would feel safe with the whole PM thing if I had some from when it was down. I remember back around 80-81 or so. Gold went from around 100 to 400 an ounce and there was a big buying spree. Then it came back down to around 200. I'm always afraid of being the one that buys high. I look at the...

Spent quite a bit of time on LI. Mostly on the western end. It was back in 91-93 and I was shocked at prices then. I imagine they dropped and then came back up. Property taxes probably just went up.

I would direct all questions to the NRC. You are probably in one of the best places though. I would be more worried about high housing cost if I was you.:)

This morning ABC had a HS teacher on giving expert opinion on the incident. Made me laugh.

The pool where they store the spent rods for that facility has reached levels over 800 deg. I assume they're talking Celsius since most countries use Celsius. It actually caught on fire and they are concerned that the rods will actually get hot enough to catch fire themselves. They're not sure...

Man I got tired just reading about all that work. No wonder all the farmers around here look worn out.:)

Well what would you actually see? They're talking a 1 degree increase in the temperature of the ocean. One or two degrees in average ambient temperature. The glaciers are melting though. The ocean is rising. All this is happening very slowly. It may just be a cycle, but it is happening...

There's 106 nuke plants in the USA. The only one that has had a problem that was disclosed was Three Mile Island. There are a lot more minor incidents you don't hear about though. It used to be hard to get that info. I bet it's all on line now. Yep I'm too lazy to look. Odds wise the nuclear...

If the SHTF as is so popular to talk about, our self reliance would be pretty good. That is provided our mortgage holder could be disposed of. Lots of chickens for eggs or meat, turkeys to eat or sell, cow for milk and meat from any male calves or sell any heifers, very large garden, 100 pints...

I'm not going to respond about Sorros anymore. As far as I know Sorros doesn't have any chips in the game when it comes to nuclear power. The thread is about the safety of nuclear energy and if it is still a viable option in the future of energy production in the USA. I would like to see them...

Well there is tons of scientific data showing that global warming is a fact. Now the jury is still out on the actual causes. Most scientist say it is caused or at least influenced by man. One of those things that's hard to prove either way. I would like to think it's a hoax but the evidence...

In America it tends to be more about dollars than about sense. Safety is an issue that has to be forced down corporate throats. I know it is really that way in most places. I remember when they first mandated seat belts. The auto industry said it would cost too much to weld a couple...

I heard the Navy was very concerned about all the debris in the ocean off Japan now. They said it is really of more concern than the radiation. However they don't really know what is to come. Better safe than sorry.

I didn't say the right side. I said the correct side.:) Of course that depends on your view. As usual that's just my opinion.
